McKenna: Harrington’s Croker idea ‘ill-informed’

CROKE Park Stadium Director Peter McKenna has strongly rejected Dublin county board chairman Gerry Harrington’s suggestion controlled pitch invasions should be allowed at GAA HQ.

McKenna has described Harrington’s recent comments as “ill-informed” after the Dublin chief insisted Croker officials should let fans onto the pitch instead of battling in vain against the ongoing problem.

Harrington proposed a line of stewards marching towards the centre of the pitch, with fans following them in an orderly fashion, and said that such a move would minimise the risk of injury to patrons.
