772851 Any chance they can stop the players as well ?

Cork Senior and Minors are going up on the bus on the Sat. Usually, they go on the train but they are breaking with tradition this year and getting the bus.

Bus is probably just as fast as the train considering the bus can take you right to the hotel door without a transfer.

Culchie - Sure what would be the point of targetting a Mayo man? A blockade of any road out of Mayo on All Ireland day would only serve to delay the few poor unfortunate Galwegians who happen to live there (mostly priests on missionary work).

Sure there's no point in us travelling up anyway. The games will be over in 10 minutes with the Down lads crying into their points. The rebels will hammer them.

Proc, being a loyal Down fan all my life, I've had my fair share of disappointment, but don't think I've ever "cried into my point", not sure what it is, but I reckon it would take your eye out !! Down by 3

Its a joke though, as mentioned above is funny how they didnt oppose the Ham Sandwich Brigade attending the hurling final

Speaking for Tipperary and Kilkenny people here; At least we attend our hurling finals!

For all Cork supporters travelling on Sunday,when you come to the Tallaght turn-off on the Naas Road,take this and you will avoid any disruption on the way in.Anyway I think this is only a bit of publicity for the Residents and nothing will come of it.Best of luck to the lads on Sunday and I hope it will be the day that Canty and Murphy get the medal they so deserve.

Premierfan: easy for you to attend them when the GAA schedule them for your home ground!

Ah, the poor Croke Park residents association. Sure aren't they still waiting for a letter of apology after that dreadful racket on bloody sunday!

Plenty of country people involved "Betty" - I live in the area, I cant say that I agree with this route of action...

but trust me folks, many of the resisdents have every right to feel aggrieved at some of the GAA's actions

All they want is their social club which has stood for the past 40 years to be left alone... for many elderly people this is their only outlet to the community.

The GAA have offered to rebuild the social club, BUT it doesnt include a bar and other features that the old social club possess. You see the GAA want that Bar licence for their own. Stick in an extra bar into Croke Park... and that's big money for the GAA. Who cares about the little old lads/laddies...

What do they matter...

It's not about Greed or anything else, the GAA have done little but bully many of the elderly residents, which on certain roads surrounding Croke Park are left without water on match days, because of the huge demand needed for the 15 bars and many extra toilets that were introduced into Croke Prk after the rebuild.

There's not much that an elderly person can do with a couple of West Life tickets.. that's if they can muster up the energy to stand in a Q for a number of hours to collect them. They'd prefer hot water in their tea...

I live in the area.. I know a lot of these people, they are good people.

Sure we'll drive over them. We always give the Dubs a good beating whenever we play them so this will be nothing new.

It's incredible just how ignorant some of you are... you'll be driving over your own.

Lots of country resisdents are part of the Croke Park residents association.

But again ignorance is bliss aye... I'm not joking you it's amazing how many posters on this site just blindly post tripe...

A very selfish bunch you are...

Jimbo

Good points.

A lot of people have a right to feel aggrieved by the way they've been treated by the GAA.

I don't necessarily agree with the nature of the protest but if it helps keep the facility in the local area then so be it.

A lot of people on here seem to forget that some of us have to live around Croke Park and the area can be left in some state after games by supporters. 90% of supporters respect the properties of the residents, however, there will always be some idiots who have no respect.

Jimdum, don't worry I'd drive over all the other people who weren't from The Real Capital of Ireland as well.
