River of love... you will get respect when you earn it. Your on here telling all the residents to suck it up and quit whining that we deserve to have this pr1ck and people like you foisted on us for 5 days.

Well I'm speaking my mind here and you just gotta suck it up and stop whining...

Look simple fact here is love... Garth has friends in low places and River aint much lower than you.

How am I responsible for others pissing around croker?

Like I say in the other thread, Croke park has been in existence since before all of the residents were even alive.

If you don't like the disruption a stadium brings, don't live beside it.

If there was an agreement, formal or informal about the number of concerts, then it's just plain decency for the promoter to offer additional compensation for the overspill, but I see no general basis for residents to complain about the facility being used.

Its exactly like people who build or buy a fancy house beside a quarrry and then complain to the local authority th\t there is loud noises and heavy traffic coming on the road.
No sh1t sherlock, you bought a nice house at a good price because its located beside a quarry now you want to close the quarry and cost people their jobs and livelihood just cos you want to.

Fukkin nimbys everywhere in this country. Everyone seems to be trying to pull a fast one on each other. I said that the first time i left the country in 96 and i still say it nearly 20 years later. Nothing changes here only time.

Femme_Fatale · 09-02-2014 01:35AM

Thanks kupus for repeatedly telling us about how you are SO much better than your fellow Irishmen/women.
Anyway, the residents living next to Croke Park agree with a certain number of concerts per year, so they're hardly out of order objecting to this agreed number being exceeded.

Something tells me you'd freak too if you lived there - suddenly the "selfish greedy Irish people" whom you're so much better than, would be the concert-goers.

And herein lies the flaw in this post.
These houses and a lot of the families residing in them were there LONG before these concerts were being held.

Jesus what a depressing thread, full of the most ignorant posters I've ever seen.

"Don't like it? F**k you, not my problem."

"Promoters broke an agreement? F**k you, I don't care."

Dirty Dingus McGee · 09-02-2014 01:39AM

If the residents made an agreement then why are they not taking the GAA to court?

Why has the local authority not told GAA/Promotion company that some of the concerts can't be held?

wedger · 09-02-2014 01:39AM

You see River you have no idea of the sh1t me my family and others who live in this community have to put up with when f*&kwits like you come up here for your few hours of fun.
You don't see everything that goes on how could you... Ive been here for years ive seen the anti social behaviour, I've been threatened by pricks when i told them to f@&k off out of my garden, i have to keep my kids indoors so tits like you can have your few hours of fun.

Do not come on here preaching to me about respect when you have not one F@&king idea of what we have to put up with.

All you see is that middle aged F@£k bag and think he's the F@£king messiah and when he sings the world must bow before him and you. If Garthy and the GAA want their gig they will have to fight hard for it...

It's being advertised (I think) as "subject to licence"

Now, will DCC have the balls to refuse the licence, give that it's apparently contrary to various agreements? Somehow I doubt it.....

True. U2 played two nights in the mid 80's. Unless I'm mistaken, the next was Tina turner in 92. It's only since then that croke park has been regularly used as a venue. Residents traditionally had no problem with match day crowds, or at least were resigned to them. Regular concerts at the venue are a relatively recent development. And a relatively recent development in addition to match day crowds. They've every right to object to the number and frequency of concerts. Five in a row means potentially locking down access to the area for a working week.

wedger · 09-02-2014 01:45AM

As for you King Kupus we're not bitching about the stadium... Most of us enjoy the fact we live beside it. But putting a community into virtual lockdown for a week is just not on.

the GAA and croke park have entered into agreements with the residents and have backed down on them all.

We know events have to take place... But this is to the extreme. It's been 4 years since there was a complaint made about an event and that was U2 dismantling there stage... 48 hr's of continuous work during a working week... and oh yeah... they had to stop work. Guess what the residents won that one.

Normally I'd agree with you and expect DCC to roll over and let the concerts go ahead, but with local elections at the end of May......

Most people enjoy them. Get a few friends around and listen to the music out in their gardens. 5 in a row is insane though.

How dare you accuse me of anti social sh1t-baggery.

IvySlayer · 09-02-2014 01:59AM

These concerts will generate millions for the economy, they'll stop complaining when they get compensation.

5 is too excessive though. The pitch will suffer, nearly 500,000 people will be there, the cleaning, Gardaí will be stretched!

Buying/renting near a stadium and complain when it holds events.

FYP there for you

Also, bolded part?
Please refer back to many, many other posts for an answer to that.

I'm not accusing you of antisocial anything. What I'm accusing you of is you saying that we should have to put up with this sh1t for 5 days and nights so ye can see fat Garth...

And thanks FF for sitting on the fence for every single topic that comes along.

And for the record I never said I was better, Ill leave that sort of thing to the middle class fence sitters

Wow, first you dismiss the residents as "complainers" and then go on about the suffering of....the pitch. Hilarious.

There were a handful of seats there in 1913, even when it was improved in the 20's it held only 5000 seats and terracing below.

Big difference to 82,000 and odd dont you think?

You are so wrong about this. Garth Brooks is a good man. He put on some charity concerts to raise funds for Haiti and some wildlife concerts.

Yeah, still no answer on this one.

You remind me of a certain NFL player
