The lads have their fingers crossed.
whats their argument this time? Is it still that they have an issue with all that extra money pouring into the area?
Remember last time it was some cantankerous fucker who led the campaign because he had a beef with the GAA about how they treated the sport of handball. Even he was shocked when they ended up cancelling all concerts, rather than scaling back to the 3 originally planned shows.
Anyway, if nothing else it'll give us a few more pages of this thread.
I just had a look into the engagement, or lack thereof. I found thisspeaking as someone who used to live in the area... (both on the ballybough, NCR, and drumcondra sides at different times. speaking from my experience
There's the handball shower who are a law unto themselves.
There is a faction of locals who make money - they would be a small but vocal minority on the yes side.
And then there is majority of residents put up with significant traffic, crowds, noise etc. on an ongoing basis, and have fairly token engagement from croke park itself while the other two groups suck most of the oxygen out of the room.
and in the middle of a housing crisis the (particularly when considering a lot of the residents are elderly, long term residents and/or from lower socioeconomic groups) the 'they knew croke park was there when they moved in' argument can fuck off frankly.
Five concerts is a bit much and should be a non-runner from the off.

Well it's being planned at 7 concerts in the year with Ginger Boringcunt as well, so more than double the previously agreed 3 per year, so some locals might not be into that right enough, especially considering they already have to put up with the GAA shit anyway.
