Should insist on Parnell. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 4392 - 15/06/2026 10:00:29 2679746 Link
Replying To Fionn: "Monaghan of course. Gonna be very interesting to see if Ger gets his wish now and we play Donegal In Parnell Park. Reckon there will be pressure from the GAA HQ to play it in Croker though. But surely as the Home team, we get to decide, and can play it where we want to…?! I personally think we have a better chance of beating Donegal in the Neller." LOL. Its a great draw for us . One of the big two in Kerry or Armagh will be gone and we have donegal at home.A great opportunity and yes "The Neller or Nowhere". brayballer (Wicklow) - Posts: 704 - 15/06/2026 10:13:04 2679753 Link
Replying To BarneyGrant: "Should insist on Parnell." Defo. Looks like the die hard Dublin fans want it in PP also. It would be an amazing atmosphere. As the designated Home team, we want it on our Home ground. Much better than say a 25,000 loss making attendance in HQ. #NellerOrNowhere Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 5061 - 15/06/2026 11:06:17 2679786 Link
Replying To BarneyGrant: "Should insist on Parnell." There would be enough place to accommodate Parnell Pass holders & the equivalent in Donegal. And that's not even taking account of the neutral who might want to see it. People shouldn't loose out because Parnell Park isn't big enough.

I have to laugh - everyone wanted us out of Croke Park for years and now we want to move back to Parnell Park, they want us to stay in Croke Park. Unbelievable Jeff..! ;o) And so as to accommodate the neutral fans also no less… lol Hilarious. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 5061 - 15/06/2026 13:02:49 2679862 Link
The last time the Dublin men's senior football team played a championship match at Parnell Park was in 2004. And now for a do or die clash, they want to have a game for around 8.5k. It will make it some game in fairness but tickets will be like golddust. I do agree ye need out of Croker and add back that amazing Dublin atmosphere back up but you really need a 25k stadium asap. shaggykev (Donegal) - Posts: 484 - 15/06/2026 13:03:29 2679864 Link

It's only hurting themselves but Croker is too big for them now and Parnell Park is clearly too small. peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 1676 - 15/06/2026 13:15:52 2679878 Link
