Where do you prefer? I cant handle the stand at all. You have no idea who you will be stuck beside and if you say the wrong thing you are liable to have some aul one give out to you for cursing or some fella telling you not to be shouting like that in front of his kids.

Terrace for me anyways. It's better craic by a mile

'm a terrace man myself but stand or terrace I wouldn't fancy standing beside a potty mouthed gurrier who thinks going to a game entitles him to roar foul mouthed abuse at all & sundry.

Just saying like.

Stand for me.

I know what you mean mike about the ones in the crowd (got some awful dirty looks from a woman during the Mayo SF), but to watch the match the stand is better no doubt. Less distractions (aka drunken eejits)

Terrace all the way - aside from the craic too many of us spend too much of our days sitting on our ass so when out in the fresh air should be standing upright - much better way to watch a game anyway.

Its like this I have a local it has a bar I bring my 80 odd year old Dad for a pint and he has the odd bet , the language is fairly blue
We have a lounge my wife and I eat there and enjoy a drink foul loud language wouldn't be tolerated .
Theres a back lounge plays very loud music when its not got sky on giving wall to wall coverage of sport , me and my mates would often find ourselves in there .
Point being horses for courses , if Ive got my boys with me I go to stand and have no wish to listen to a yob with a foulmouth , if with the lads we would prefer terrace as theres an energy about the terrace and I couldn't careless what someone says .
Just read post back think I might have a drink problem !

Terrace for me too. Had a poor experience in the stands last year v Tyrone in the league in Omagh and this year in the League final v Monaghan. Was unbelievably unlucky to be sitting beside an absolute gob***** on both occasions. You know they're bad when their own supporters tell them to wise up!!

There is always better atmosphere in the terrace.

terrace all the way
I cannot sit for that long to start with or to watch dublin as the time they were doing the hill up was stuck in canal end
and would have been better off at home
stand is boring no atmosphere
and you have people getting up and down from the toilets or shops while the match is on would do my head in
once you get a bar to lean on any terrace is much better

Terrace all the way unless it is scalding hot, then you need to take shelter from the sun and you could also be bulk tanked with a gallon of porter and a dose of supermacs.

I almost always go to the stand, because I don't want to get wet, but I see where Mike is coming from regarding other people in the stand.

I was told off once for letting a few f's out during a match.Note to parents if you dont want your children to hear shouting and potentially swearing don't being your chidren to a GAA match.Its your job to set standards for your children not mine.

I wish the GAA would make a bigger effort in barring entry to those supporters who have clearly had too much to drink before hand.

Corporate box for me...eating prawn sandwiches, supping champagne and looking down on the third class masses below.

Hill 16 all day, like a second home at this stage. It might be because it attracts the younger section of the crowd, it's just more craic. A bitta chanting goes a long way to making the game more enjoyable. Really enjoyed jousting with the dubs last September. Well.....until...... you know.

Hate being given out to at a game for swearing. Now I'm not saying I like swearing and it's not something I'm proud of but come on, it's a highly charged situation and if I get frustrated I'm going to swear, sorry. People swear when they're angry, get over it. There are family sections for people with kids who'd prefer they didn't hear swearing.
