Croke Park may be the jewel in the GAA’s crown and a facility that the Association should be proud of, but those are not good enough reasons to continually fix games there anymore
The All-Ireland football quarter-finals forming two Croke Park double headers this weekend was as predictable as it is unimaginative.
Derry also turned the tables on Tyrone in Clones having lost to them in Ulster earlier in the summer. And by 2007, every county had played at the new Croke Park at senior level at least once in hurling or football. To be fair, the combined attendances this coming weekend, particularly on Saturday, may make for healthy reading, but so would splitting the four games and fixing them for provincial venues. Indeed, the crowds may well even be bigger across the board, not to mind the boost it would give to local economies.
