Replying To BarneyGrant:  "That argument falls with Louth's rightful insistence on picking a ground that did not cater for a third of the Armagh demand alone through clubs.

I have a PP pass but would be happy to be in lottery. PP would harldy hold even the Dublin crowd that was in Cavan and not the regular number on Hill these times. But supporters as Fionn says seem to massively favour Parnell despit that.

Huge pay off too if getting to quarter finals if they win and if - as they will be - the crowd and familiarity with the mad pitch is an advantage. Donegal themselves have made Ballybofey in particular into such a cauldron."
Didn't Donegal (amongst others) want Dublin taken out of Croke Park.?????

DCB are well within their rights to select their Home ground of Parnell Park for any Home game.
End of.
Simple really.

The fact that our manager has openingly come out and said he will push for the game to be played in Parnell Park is enough for me.

It is a Home game and will have a Home atmosphere.

How the mighty have fallen?
After your magnificient 6 in a row a Dublin manager is afraid to play a team in Croke Park.

I don't like it when posters don't think before they post (or possibly can't).

Since the great 6-in-a-row (only Limk hurlers in Munster also have that suffix in adult men's hurling or football), Dublin has won Leinster in '20, '21, '22, '23, '24 and Sam in 2023.

Where were all those games played? Was anyone afraid of paying, even winning them?

The most poetic justice, I feel, to now see lamenting, whiny Donegal have to live up to their own philosophy of taking the Dubs out of Croker.

This isn't about fear. This is about karma and justice.

In the Gaelic language, they have a great phrase for it: "Filleann an feall ar an bhfeallaire!"

Louth's suitation is not comparable as you well know. Here we have a suitation where the Dubs are throwing their noses up at Croke Park, the defacto home of the Dubs for as long as I remember, "Hill 16 Dublin Only" and all that lark. It really is hilarious stuff.
