It’s Official: Keep Culchies & Nordies Out of Croker
Talking Balls
In a typically tourist and supporter-friendly initiative that further underlines Croke Park’s self-promotion as one of the greatest stadia in Europe, it has been revealed that the Dublin City Council’s Committee on Traffic is seeking to throw a two mile parking exclusion zone round headquarters. In effect any car parking on-street would be clamped or towed.
Ulster GAA supporters and people from Meath already have first hand experience of the actions of clampers on match day, zealots who terrorise innocent matchgoers in ways that make Al Qaeda look like the sisters of Mother Theresa. Apparently Croke Park is complicit in this decision. I hear you ask ‘What other organisation would treat its customers with such disdain?’ Indeed.
The decision follows years of gridlock on streets around Croke Park we are told. ‘Resident only parking’ will restrict people attending Croke Park from parking in the immediate vicinity of the stadium and end the situation where residents are trapped in their homes we are assured. No word of any initiatives on parking to help alleviate the situation.
It’s official then - keep culchies, nordies, clampits and their fellow travellers out of Croker.
