Brennan appeals to fans to stay off pitch in Croker

GAA President Nickey Brennan has warned that the association may have to curtail presentation ceremonies after major games unless supporters heed its advice and keep off the pitch in Croke Park.

Writing in his programme notes for the weekend games in Croke Park, he said it was a “serious concern” from a health and safety perspective.

“I am appealing to supporters to stay off the pitch. Remember that the players have endured a physically demanding encounter and they need space to recover,’’ he said.
