I Can See Your Development From Here. It’s Not Finished Yet is it?
Talking Balls Comments
The Powers That Be have revealed that pretty soon, anyone with €100 burning a hole in their pocket, or burned by €100 million and now sitting on their hole, can head on down Jones’s Road to Croker to sign up for a walk across the stadium roof similar to the Sydney Harbour Bridge walk. This should be no problem to some of these guys who previously thought they could walk on water and onwards all over the country’s financial regulations, whatever they were.
Norwegian daredevil Eskil Ronningsbakken showed the way, teetering on the brink above Croke Park in a way that would have had Anglo Irish execs sick with vertigo. Like Eskil, anyone that wishes can brazen it out in a remarkable show of nimble footwork and balance under pressure. However the presence of a few safety nets tends to limit the damage these days doesn’t it?
The new tours offer visitors panoramic views over the capital, with all its imperfections, infidelities and unfinished developments. The tours are believed to be marketed under the slogan, ‘One Day, All of this Could Have Been Yours.’
A walkway will be built on the roof of the stadium and tours will be offered from next January, costing in the region of €100. Anyone who has done the Sydney harbour walk will know that punters are breathalysed so that rules out the premium and corporate box clientele.
According to the Croker spoker:
“The walkway will be around the entire stadium. . . there’s fairly stringent safety measures, so they have to be gone through, which will take about 30 minutes. They will have to make sure people are fit and able to do it. There will be five platforms with views of Dublin and one pitchside viewing platform.
Marks a far cry from the old days when anyone on the roof of a stand was guaranteed to be drunk and likely to be arrested when they come down.
