Yeah it was pretty much the same experience. I only had two other people on the tour, so it was a nice intimate tour. And I've actually been here for the game. I've seen Dublin in the football a few times and the hurling semi's once. Those were the days where you could Ryanair it from Manchester in the morning and come back at night and it'd only cost £10 in total. Good times.

Fantastic to see you visit a stadium very close to my heart and all time favorite city. 10.5 probably if you're a first time visitor best to come to the stadium where Drumcondra rail station is, go past the bank. The reason Dublin GAA play their main matches in Croke Park is because their home ground only holds 12,000 and Dublin take usually 15,000- 25,000 spectators. The Hill 16 can't be extended due to the housing estate otherwise easily could get 90,000. Great to see you try some hurling, some nice football shots too. Fun fact the upper and lower sections ticket prices are the same, only premium costs more. Whenever you're back in Ireland would be more than happy to take you to a game of hurling

0:24 you forgot GAA Rounders and Ladies Gaelic football. Also 4:50 hill 16 /the end bit, is now kept like that on purpose over bloody sunday and supposedly hill 16 is meant to be built on the rubble of O'Connell Street from 1916 Easter Rising. The skywalk is great, you can see the whole of Dublin from there, its a must do, and if they're doing the Croke Park Abseils, then you must do that too. As that does both skywalk and abseil...

Just a quick note on the thumbnail Ninh. You put the dublin gaa badge alongside the GAA logo, implying this is Dublins home ground. That's not true. Whilst yes, the senior men's football team play a lot of their games at croker, the actual official home ground for Dublin GAA is Parnell Park in I believe clontarf. Just pointing that out to you Ninh. Also, the GAA doesn't cover Camogie. That's under a separate governing body. Ditto for Ladies Gaelic Football. They are working on bringing in camogie to the GAA. Lastly, and I know I'm nitpicking, but the teams aren't referred to as 'clubs'. The clubs are the teams within the county that are managed by the county GAA board. Them clubs make the counties, and these counties are the big teams that play in the big matches. Think of it as international Soccer. Other than that, good video as always Ninh. Really enjoyed it. Going straight back up to Div 1 this year. UP THE DUBS 💙🏐

@UltimateBucketList Жыл бұрын

The money they generate goes back into the stadium and other stadiums and facilities around the country.Not to say there is no waste or corruption,but if the players were paid you wouldn't have a stadium like that in a small country of 5 to 7million people,it would probably be no more than 40 000.Football/soccer stadiums in ireland are way behind because they have to struggle to find a weakly wage,of course competition with the PL is a huge factor,but even without that factor maintaining Pro sports in ireland is a huge struggle and the same with rugby 4 pro teams half to play in a competition spanning half the world to be viable.
