What type of things go on there - Croke Park? (To be honest I personally won't around long enough to indulge in any extra-curricular activities other than perhaps a beer drinking competiotion, as I arrive at 2pm on the Wedneday and leave at 5pm the next day).

Well it’s the third biggest stadium in Europe but is only for Gaelic Games – gaelic football and hurling mainly. I must check it out bit that will be around all-Ireland semi final time. Forget soccer and rugby – these are actually the main sports in Ireland

Hurlings proper nutty. I wouldn't mind attending a hurling game. It's a bit like Aussie rules isn't it?

Lol, nah you're thinking of Gaelic Football Hurling's where they give them stick to batter the shite out of eachother - fun to watch

Lol Jenny, I actually DID forget about the opening of croker even though it was the biggest news item of the past year.

Yep, England and France in the 6 nations next year will be played in Croke Park - talk about a hostile environment :eek:

Well just try and ignore it when you're over here

The first semi is scheduled for the Sunday before the concert, the second for the Sunday after it. The country will have gone GAA mental!

hee hee you said "semi"

i'll ignore it no problem... i wont watch TV.. I wont buy a newspaper... my day in sequential order is thus:-

arrive
hotel
eat stuff
pub to meet other PJ nutters
gig
pub with other PJ nutters
bed
breakfast
chase monkeys with small toy keyboard
flight home

Hurling is what old women do with their knickers at Tom Jones gigs anyway...

Besides I don't consider geography to be political . So am I not supposed to point out the geographical errors people make in reference to my country???

See I'm sorry but it's gonna be impossible to do any of the above without exposing yourself ( ) to GAA talk

So good luck
