s 728, row z. by my estimations of 12*15m sections the length of the stand, we should be 30m from the halfway line (roughly on the edge of the penalty area) albeit way way up in nosebleed cloud. still, i've been up there for gaa games countless times and the view isn't anywhere near as bad as people make out.

not that far from the corner, but at least you're not too close to the front. decent enough view, but you're wet if it rains.

Cheers for that,
Rain I can handle,getting beaten I couldn't stomach.I haven't been this excited since I walked out at Niigata stadium,Japan.I really think it's going to be something special.

Why did you walk out?

**ParkLife** · 16/03/2007, 3:35 PM

..Sorry couldn't resist!!

**tetsujin1979** · 17/03/2007, 12:03 AM

**Newryrep** · 17/03/2007, 11:59 AM

Got them this morning, 723 row P 2 together, bit in the corner but not that bothered as long as there are a few singers about

**paul_oshea** · 19/03/2007, 10:07 AM

maybe they are worried about pirates or sea monsters

LOL

sea monsters i can see delaney coming out saying something in regards to them when tickets didnt arrive.

**WexDec** · 20/03/2007, 4:09 PM

Got mine, 3 together in upper seats of Cusack Lower, 302, hopefully at least in line with the goal/peno box, not behind it. Mate who's in the same century as me on the waiting list got 3 together two rows behind me.

**paul_oshea** · 21/03/2007, 12:23 PM

you are behind me so dec!

**WexDec** · 21/03/2007, 2:19 PM

I'll sing a song for you !

Did you see the photo of the pitch markings in the paper today, my gawd the Croker pitch makes a footie pitch look small. A fair gap from side stands to sideline but the gap from the goals to the stands behind them is bigger than I thought, maybe its just the shock of seeing it for the first time. I'm wondering will 302 be slightly behind the goals now ? 301 and the corresponding far Hogan stand section is most deffo behind it as is any curved sections at the far end.

**paul_oshea** · 21/03/2007, 2:26 PM

a soldiers song?

**Countyman** · 21/03/2007, 2:50 PM

Apparantly they made the pitch 1 metre shorter than lansdowne so that the 20 yard line from the GAA pitch wouldnt cross the penalty boxes.

The soccer pitch looked tiny. Looks like anyone in the Hogan 328 or 728 will be in line with the end line.

But Stan says the advertising boards will be on the side of the pitch on saturday so everything will be hunky dory and the pitch wont look so small.

Yeah that one will do, I wonder will anybody join in with me.....if you hear the whole crowd ending up singing it remember who started it !

Seems the goal line is in the middle of 303. Am surprised at that but at least no poles in our way or the like.

And the boys will have their kit on so they won't look so amat......ah feck it no need to resort to slagging our own lads even after certain atrocious games.

I would say 328/728 is going too far up. It looks like that on the ticketmaster map alright but they seemed to have bunched the corner and canal sections too much. Using the GAA one, www.crokepark.ie/page/stadium_seating_plan.html, and going with the info that its half through 303 at the far end and comparing goal markings and pitch shadings for comparative points (alright all highly dubious but does seem a more accurate map) it looks more like at the end of 326/726 which is two sections towards the canal. Probably somebody with more inside GAA/FAI knowledge will know but we'll all find out soon enough sure !

If it were 328 that would be an awful lot of people outside the perimeter !
