Thanks for the memories, Croker. Now let’s hear the Lansdowne roar
These are not just the few remaining GAA people who maintain their objection to the ground ever having been opened up to foreign games. Instead these are people who believe some of those who got to matches at Croke Park might be described as “unworthy” of the tickets because they do not have sufficient interest in or knowledge of the games.
These people are being blamed for the lack of atmosphere at many of the matches at Croke Park. The argument goes that Lansdowne Road will be full of 50,000 real fans who will make a real racket, as opposed to 82,000 at Croke Park, providing the required atmosphere to inspire the Irish teams.
