Contrary to some posts above, im not complaining about the gaa using their stadium for a concert, they can do with it what they like. However, its hardly ideal from a football point of view that several thousand people are going to trample it a week before a big game. I for one think the state of the pitch in croker is well short of top class and many who were at the recent internationals wouldve seen.
Hardly a surprise that the concert is on after the All-Ireland finals and before the soccer. The GAA couldn't give a flying f**k about the FAI or their needs - they just want their money.
First time I've ever heard of a major open-air gig in Ireland in October. The pitch will be in ribbons.
ah put a sock in it...the way you were going on you'd swear the FAI give a foock about anything other than lining their own pockets and screwing us fans over time and time again
Wouldn't worry bout the pitch, the last two years the ground has had 3 major concerts and no damage done at all. Ok they were in good weather but point remains.
The covering that they put down leaves no part of the pitch exposed, so no matter how wet and miserable it is the pitch will be protected.
might be an advantage. krauts wont be able to play fast and fluent attacking football..charlton used to let the grass grow in lansdowne so the opposition couldnt play football.....what a coach!!
So it wont be like walking on the moonQuote:

"Just a castaway
An island lost at sea
Another lonely day
With no one here but me
More loneliness
Than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair"
"Eh, Ok Stan. What did Mr. Delaney say to convince you not to step down as the 'Gaffer'?"
"Bed's too big without you
The bed's too big without you
The bed's too big
Without you!"

oooh oooh
Personally, I can't wait to get me tickets to see the Guards in Croker. I assume they'll play all the hits. "Massage in a Brothel yer Honour", "Don't Stand so Close to Me, ya dirty Bowsie" and "So Athlonely".
I reckon the GAA have the FAI wrapped around their finger.
Of course, the GAA organized the timing of the Police tour just to spite soccer fans. It's just so obvious.Quote:

it will be our advantage against di germans
Doesn't matter what the pitch is like against the Germans. It'll make no difference either way. Because:
Every little thing Stan does is tragic
