Bernard Brogan frustrated by notion Dublin success linked to Croke Park

Bernard Brogan admits he is annoyed by the perception Dublin’s success is intrinsically linked to playing all their championship games in Croke Park.

The footballer of the year candidate is excited about the prospect of Nowlan Park being touted as the venue for the All-Ireland champions’ 2016 Leinster quarter-final against Laois or Wicklow.

Brogan’s record of never having played a championship game outside Croke Park is often used as the statistic to beat Dublin with — he was an unused sub in their last foray out of the county when Dublin beat Longford in Pearse Park nine years ago.
