A solicitor for one of the Croke Park residents' groups has threatened to take High Court action against holding any Garth Brooks concerts at the venue.
Anthony Fay has said a High Court injunction will be taken on behalf of a local resident against the Croke Park authorities and Aiken Promotions unless they call off the concerts by next Monday

I'd say they aren't all of the same mind.

I take offence to that. I am a confederate yokel type, and I am not racist. While I'm here, I think the locals up there have a point. Croke Park is in the middle of the city, close enough, and is an unsuitable location for big gigs like this. There was enough hassle over in Blighty with the new owner of Mallory Park racetrack trying to reopen it while getting consensus with the residents of Kirkby Mallory on crowd management, noise levels, etc.

why is there more than one group? this is a serious question surely have one group with similar interests would make more sense

Yes you can get a full refund or a bag of turnips.

Turnips are all well-and-good if you happen to have the Family Tooth this week, but a lot of folk will want cash.

We like to laugh at Germans for making David Hasselhoff a rockstar back in the eighties but isn't Garth our nation's Hasselhoff?

If you want to associate havoc with wrecking then that's your decision.

As I said in a post above it was making a nuisance with noise, disruptions etc that I had in mind.

But carry on claiming I said things I didn't if you wish like other posters are doing.

I think you need to learn what havoc, dictionary defines it as widespread destruction

Deacon Ashy Penguin wrote: »

Block up the streets, have a big singsong until late at night, maybe have a sound system and blare out some Garth, some chants running down the residents and maybe a couple of cans for good measure.

Its not like it would ever happen but in an ideal world who knows.

Classy. Break the law because you don't agree with a lawful decision. This is throwing the toys out the pram stuff.

I never made a violent threat so I don't need to back track.

Lol, you're all about creating destruction in the Croke Park area. You are exactly the type of anti social character that the Croke Park residents don't want in their area. And if you're bashing your keyboard here about how you want to create havoc then I wonder what you might be getting up to after a feed of beer from 2pm til 11pm.

Deacon Ashy Penguin wrote: »

Why would I carry out any of your suggestions? I certainly never mentioned any property damage or violence or condoned anyone else doing it. The imagination of some people on this thread is getting out of hand.

Fantasy is all yours, we know what you wrote and it reveals a lot about how you think. You got caught with your pants down denying you ever said you wanted harm in the Croke Park community yet were called out on it.

Deacon Ashy Penguin wrote: »

You know a jackeen is getting annoyed when the culchie statements start to be thrown around

Wow, now you're descending to reinforcing stereotypes, way to go.

Was I mistaken or were you not the one shouting up telling us all you have a Phd, tryiing to show that you're smarter than the rest of us or something. I find that really difficult to believe that the taxpayer likely subsidised your PhD education to the tune of a good €50k and at the end of it all your previous statements above are the best standard of debate that you can manage and when planning law makes a find you don't agree with going then you only want to throw your toys out of the pram and wreck the Croke Park area.

Having heard your opinions on the matter it's pretty clear what your fantasy for the Croke Park area is. You want thee people to suffer, you've said as much online here. I find it amazing that you probably go around telling people you have a PhD and put Dr. in front of your name and then you spend your spare time posting what you did online here.

i'm afraid with people not even living in the area being on or leading a residents association, and a residents association that doesn't even represent any but a few vocal objectors, your never going to get a single group together.

Us jackeens have no grip with Cultchies.

Our gripe is with croker and our council .

Sure the slaggin and wind ups between both sides is all part of the all Ireland games, I'd hate Garth Brooks to make us bitter enemies ffs

realweirdo · 04-07-2014 02:47PM

The culchies deserve some release in between sheep shearing and cotton picking. I hope they have their crops saved before the concerts though.

italodisco · 04-07-2014 02:51PM

Folks the residents were right to fight back.

It's nothing bloody personal .

I can't believe none of ye never thought well it might be a risk buying a ticket for something with no planning permission lol

Sure ye may aswell throw up a few extensions onto your homes and take the risk lol

They should have put this gig on for 3 nights to begin, or even over two weekends .....

Folk down the country moan about priso ns getting built near them , about council work keeping them awake early morn etc.

Don't expect Folk in Dublin to do everything to suit yis .

Cop on , Brooks is a selfish greedy pig and just proved that . Greed .

Many of us while away the long Summer "At De Silage, Biy!" fourteen hours a day, with only a scant few hours free for Wife-Carrying, Wellington-Firing, Mugging Pints a' Stout and doing the Culchie Dance, which is much like the Biker's Dance popularised by Status Quo back in the day only instead of a leather waistcoat one wears a GAA jersey. People in Dublin mightn't necessarily appreciate the magnitude of this, the Holy Grail of Line-Dancing Himself, being made flesh and walking among us!

Flem31 · 04-07-2014 02:52PM

Be thankful for one small mercy.......this cancellation happened re GB and not for the 1D concerts. If even one 1D concert had even been threatened the moral outrage would be too much......would have to move planet

What a load of crap. And I say this as someone who grew up in the west of Ireland. What is it with you speaking for everyone? Have you got no self-awareness? You've totally embarrassed yourself in this thread.
