What would you do if you were a resident in the area of Croker?

If I chose to live beside the biggest stadium in the country I'd do nothing when they put a gig on there. I mean it's an 80,000 capacity stadium, what would I be expecting to happen there.

What I wouldn't do is put out 160,000 people and cost the country, literally, millions in revenue with my moaning about people walking down my street a few days a year.

This agreement should never have been made in the first place, millions are now pandering to hundreds to be allowed put on events in Ireland premier stadium, it's insane.

What a nice person you seem to be.

So, becuase I suggested that wing mirrors are very likely to be get damaged by disgruntled concert goers, that means I am not a nice person??

For the record (not that it should be needed): I wouldn't condone anyone damaging another person's car but it's quite obvious to me when you piss off a few hundred thousand people and those people are due to walk past your house, mostly in a drunk state.. bad things are very likely to happen and for that reason, there is not a chance I would park my car in that area during those concerts were I a resident.

How have they cost the country millions?

wrong, they were canceled, different to backing horses

You can't cancel something that was never there in the first place.

Can you show where any of the residents wanted all the 5 concerts not to take place?

expectationlost · 03-07-2014 04:04PM

so with this croke park decision they get 7 concerts instead of 9 of the promised just 3-5, croke park and concert promotors won

This thread should be shut down. It is going no where and some of the comments, insults and threats of violence are a bit sickening. Some of ye need to grow up.

There was, it was an agreement signed by both sides limiting Croke Park to three concerts a year.

there wasn't, the agreement was for 3 concerts and then apply for an events licence

Reformed Character wrote: »

The greedy GAA decided to break it and allow a promoter to sell tickets to the public for concerts that not only didn't have a licence but were all but certain to be denied a licence if the residents objected.

they weren't greedy, and they didn't break anything, they were acting on a supply and demand basis, tickets are often sold before the licence is granted, its never an issue and will probably still happen, they could have got the licences dispite the residents objections if the council wanted to give them such licences.

The arrogance of the GAA in their attitude is beyond belief.

no arrogance at all

But those people won't be walking by your house drunk, because the gigs aren't happening.

maybe, just maybe the promoter shouldn't sell tickets till they have a license? Y'know like the law says they should.

but the law doesn't say anything like that, if it did then promotors would have been before the courts years ago

Except it does, you yourself have admitted it. I believe your solution was a €20 fine.

Let's try and give it another chance.

Folks, stop with the:

a) Petty bickering
b) Insulting other users
c) Insulting sections of Ireland, be they large or small
d) Accusations of corruption
e) Threatening acts of violence
and while we're at it,
f) threatening any other criminal activities

am i the only one who doesn't get this? they started building croke park in the early 1900's, so surely anyone who bought a house near there knew they were buying in an area that was going to be disrupted on match days and gig nights?

Gigs have been happening in CP since the early 1900's?

indeed.

...and let themselves get walked over every year??

A large percentage of them will, yes. If you had been following the threads over the past few months, especially in the music forum, you would know that many people where going multiple nights. Add to that that many of them will also have friends and family that would have being attending on the two nights in question and you are without question there is going to be a reaction from those fans as they leave that area. Maybe (and hopefully) it will just be jeering etc, but I doubt it.

What are you waffling about? I did no such thing as advocate vandalism. I suggested that parking in the area during the concerts wouldn't be the brightest idea and I stand by it. That's like saying if I told someone not to leave their windows open at night that I was advocating burglary.

I am doing fine with my life thanks very much.

But I do think it is pathetic that people threaten violence over a cancelled/potentially cancelled concert.
And the same people complain that said concerts were cancelled when one of the reasons given was the risk of anti social behaviour.

The Irish people will still spend the money in Ireland, plus their ticket money, people from the US and Canada will still come over. Maybe a few quid lost from people in the North but no, I don't see it making that much of a difference.

It's a ****ing joke that the bogball association and Aiken had the sheer arrogance to promote/sell tickets to these concerts without a license and pretty much ignore local residents concerns whilst doing so right up until a few weeks before the concerts were due to commence when they realized they were in legal trouble ,and its a ****ing joke that people like you blame the local residents for standing up for themselves,their homes and families instead of the greedy,incompetent twats in GAA and Aiken HQ.

And it's great to see people like yourself advocating vandalism to local residents property,as it vindicates the one of the reasons the residents didn't want 600,000+ mucksavages in the vicinity of their homes for 5 nights straight in the first place.

80,000 *5 =400,000

600,000 + mucksavages according to you..

Maths not your strongest suit. Although either is English when your whole post is incomprehensible

nice one, 5 consecutive concerts was way too much, 3 is too much in my opinion after the 1d concerts. Anyway, at least the residents were somewhat respected, fair is fair, deal with it.

5 is 2 more then 3, same amount of disruption, not much really

If it is shut down, it will be no thanks to users such as yourself, that are exaggerating user's opinions so you can get on your bloody high horse.

So you dont think there have been people in here saying to bomb the area, **** in peoples gardens, kick off wing mirrors, cause havoc in the area etc?

And that is only todays posts. Go back and you will find the residents referred to as a bunch of try c*nts.

Yup, I am exaggerating.

I’m surprised with a mooohasive amount of money being generated by the concerts that they didn’t chuck a larger amount at the residents.

Wonder if they fired a north of €1,000,000 their way would it have kept them stum?

They weren't looking for compensation
