'We're not the culchies coming up the road' - Rossies boss Burke lashes Croke Park call

Compared to the 30,000-plus that took in the corresponding group game with Dublin 12 months ago, Saturday saw a tiny attendance with an official number not even provided

Roscommon manager Davy Burke has questioned why Croke Park was opened for this evening’s All-Ireland SFC game against Dublin that attracted such a paltry crowd.

Compared to the 30,000-plus that took in the corresponding group game with Dublin 12 months ago, it was a tiny attendance, the official number not provided as is usually the case at half-time. Burke wished it had been played elsewhere.
