Croke Park seat prices are unfair

It was amazing to hear the president of the GAA Liam O’Neill state that all the seats in Croke Park give the spectator a good view of the pitch and the games played there.

I take it he has not had the pleasure of sitting in the back rows of the upper stands, or behind the goals in the Davin end? Has he sat in the front seats in the lower Hogan Stand Sections 335, 324, 325, Cusack, Sections 301, 312, 313 or Davin stand sections 317, 718, 319, 320?

For Liam O’Neill to say there should be no price difference in the seats in Croke Park is totally wrong for the people who pay good money to support the teams that are playing in Croke Park, some who might be there three or four times a year.

I invite Mr O’Neill to sit with me in these areas for the National League and Championship matches that will be played in Croke Park in 2013. Why should a person pay the same price for a seat in the upper stands at the very back, as the person sitting in a seat in the middle of the lower stands?

Where is the fairness and justice in this?
