The GAAs own media and PR advisors have warned voting county boards that there will be a huge public backlash if they prevent the FAI and IRFU from using Croke Park...
The voice of reason...

Tipperary county board votes in favour of Rule 42 motion 62 votes to 16 to give the GAA central council authority to open croker while lansdown is being renovated.
Another step in the right direction.
Resign, now!
Thats the first county board changing their mind. 5 out 6 munster county boards (with the exception of Kerry) have voted against the proposal on all previous occasions.

The Countdown begins - 12 days to go

Tipperary is a huge surprise. Still can't see it happening however Paddy Power will be the best indicator of the GAA's mood in the next 2 weeks.
11 days to go - the decision will go down in history. I wish the people responsible for making the decision all the best

Has anyone heard the sports bulletin on rte radio this morning? Des Cahill was on about some 'interesting' Croke Park developments. I only caught the tail end of it. Anyone hear it?
Resign, now!
Meath and Donegal are both backing the campaign to open up Croke Park.
There appears to be a groundswell of opinion in favour or is it the usual positive media stuff wanting it to happen.
Definitely lots in favour - Tipperary jumping on board was a shock. I think the majority will follow suit - well - hopefully anyway
Resign, now!
Offally and Kildare joined the forces of good last night.

GAA have to open it up while Landsdowne is being re-developed. if they dont it would be a suicidal PR disaster
i think their delegates are starting to wake up to that.
its a pity. i wudnt mind a few weekends in liverpool on the lash for ireland matches
I don't know too much about the leanings of individual counties but it's the ones with heavy voting power that you have to look out for. Also, it's likely that those in favour of it will get the majority but it's getting the two-thirds majority could be the undoing of the whole thing.
Limerick have said they will re-examine the proposals, and may consider a temporary opening.
as did Galway at the start of this week
So who are the remaining deviants?
Cork, I presume, is one of them?
Have Boot Disk, will travel
Yeah - as far as i know the vote Cork is a biggie.
Resign, now!
5 out of six in munster were against the original proposal. Kerry were always for. Tipp have changed their mind - huge decision.
I think Ulster will make or break it. Donegal was a massive boost.

all 6 counties in the north also, I think
Apart possibly from Down who are to vote on it next week, if they agree then the yes camp must be getting very close to 67%.all 6 counties in the north also, I think
Overseas counties like english counties, Scotland and New York also have votes (likely to be in favour) as do the ex-presidents (no chance of them being in favour).
Even if its passed, the decision is then only given to a central council or something. What's the liklihood that they'll get the opportunity to open it and then decide not to?
