Money may force GAA to open up Croke Park, says Toner

LOUTH GAA secretary Pat Toner fears money may eventually force the association’s hands on the opening up of Croke Park to other sports.

GAA chiefs will be monitoring county conventions over the next month to get a grassroots feel for the thorny issue of headquarters and its future usage.

And in an expression of concern, the Louth secretary said: “When full, Croke Park is a tremendous sight, but I wonder how many times a year can we fill it. The debate on whether it should be opened up to other sports will no doubt continue for many a year.
