Replying To Square_B: "No one is forcing you to go to another, some of us enjoy the sport and respect it enough to actually watch the game and not leave early. And 160 is the dearest ticket, again no one is forced to pay it. One can easily stay at home or go to the pub and watch it." Half the crowd therefore showed little or no respect between arriving late, constantly in and out to get alcohol, rushing out five mins before half time to get to the bar, back in late for second half and then a rush to the exits from the sixtieth minute.

I actively try not to buy in to this but I'm listening to the news right now. Sports come up and it's, republic of Ireland will play Czech Republic.
Ireland prepare for massive November test against South Africa......
Seriously? Rugby is a tiny minority sport, why so much coverage?

Replying To Gaagael15: "Sean o Domhnaill on the maroon and white pod calling for 4 divisional teams to be added to senior and reduce the number of senior clubs to 12. Quoting roscommon as where its worked brilliantly but from talking to guy who follows the Roscommon club scene he says its a disaster and whilst they only come in provisional qf stage they've been hockeyed and hasnt had huge buy in form clubs. Don't know when he thinks they're going to play the intermediate championship for players involved in these clubs in what is a compressed calendar without mentioning the limited time in calendar between football and hurling for dual clubs." Fair play to him he won all Irelands and was a good servant for club and county but when I listen to him on that Pod a lot of what he says I would not take seriously

Replying To Claretandblue: "Adequate parking, a proper fence around pitch, spectator facilities as in a stand or good terracing, dressing rooms a certain size," You'd imagine a scoreboard would be essential to that list also. Or are we only listing facilities to suit your argument?

Replying To Square_B: "What in the name of god are you talking nonsense about. You think the people who serve you drink at CP or the Aviva are doing it for nothing? A job is a job no matter if it's a few hours a week or full time and these jobs benefit mainly students. Not sure what the reference to 'D4 people' is all about, I suppose you think only D4 people go to Rugby games..." Open your eyes and you will see. No they don't benefit mainly our students, they benefit mainly all but our own people because isn't it great to be seen that we're opening Croke Park up to everyone. Well no it isn't.

I meant to post this last week but hard luck to Na Fianna v St. Martins. They lost nothing in defeat and can walk away with heads held high. Not a NaF man but had a relation hurling with them.
They were classy in defeat as they were in victory last year.
A break will do those involved with Dublin next year no harm.

Replying To Overdahill: "Just for clarity the cheapest for saturday were €50. €160 is a category A ticket which is basicaly permium and half way line. Looking froward to it. Won't indulge the challenge match bull comment lol thought it was only soccer heads who pretended to think that" What term so? Friendly? It's a non competitive match so is that not a challenge or a friendly?

Replying To galway19: "I'd imagine we will see plenty of new lads for Walsh Cup anyway. Cian Daniels from Larkins is in with the panel along with Darragh Neary from Cashel and I believe Manso is in there as well. Would be no harm to see a few of the young lads getting a run out as well - Jason Rabbitte, Rory Burke, Niland, Sean Murphy etc. Haven't heard anything on the Sarsfields lads but I'd hope Connaire is back with the panel this year." I agree 100% I also think players should be given a good run in the league. The likes of Rory burke etc but the lads that are u20 should stay u20 and develop. Would like to see McLaughlin back in the mix this year still think he's one of our best prospects.

Replying To Pikeman96: "Yes, but also just for clarity, those €50 tickets were for restricted view, Category 4. The cheapest tickets for unrestricted view were €100.
Also, Category 1 (it goes 1, 2, 3, 4 rather than A, B, C, D) is much more than just at halfway line. It's basically all of the lower deck of both East & West stands, and most of the upper decks.
Category 2 was €150 for the South Africa match.
Have a look at map here, and you'll see that between Category 1 (green) & Category 2 (red), probably 80% or more of tickets for Saturday's match were minimum €150 each:

And I'm not part of the anti-rugby brigade, by the way. Used to regularly go to internationals before they became so expensive. Still go to see Leinster play a couple of times a year, because a family ticket is much more affordable. Could bring two adults & two children for the same cost as just one ticket for an international." Has to be said Rugby is my second favourite sport to watch and I played it for 16 years. I don't go to internationals either, or Leinster games, though, on account of the cost, I watch them on tv either at home or in the pub. I'd rather spend my hard earned bringing the 4 lads to hurling or football games.

Their prices are incredibly high, Sat match cheapest is €160!!" Just for clarity the cheapest for saturday were €50. €160 is a category A ticket which is basicaly permium and half way line.

Replying To KillingFields: "what do they have planned and cross community and multi sport how?" They have teamed up with the Royal School nearby so I think there hockey Pitches, Swimming pools etc.
More GAA Pitches, cafes bars, and stadium upgrades planned I think, possibly handball courts too
Hard to know if it will all be built.
