What's going on in Croke Park now the games have ended?

With the closing of the inter-county curtain, all attention will switch to the club fields. Any Big Day from here on in will no longer be in the Big House

And then there were no more games there. At least not how or when we’ve been accustomed to.

For the last 13 weekends it had been relentless there. The games, Horslips and Bowie heralding the re-emergence of the teams from the tunnel, Jerry Grogan on the mic, announcing their lineup and changes. Out of those 26 Saturdays or Sundays, there were only eight in which he had the day off and the rest of us weren’t either in that big house or tuning in to events there.
