No club will have the right to refuse to play there. The decision was not unanimous, but we have said that the ground is suitable.
Dublin – you know there’s unlikely to be any hiding place, writes Philip Reid. And Louth captain Paddy Keenan knows his team need to up the ante on their late Houdini act against Westmeath. “We’ve a lot of work to do. We have to go at them and be... Full Article at Irish Times

They’ve won big games here in Croke Park before, they have some excellent footballers and Harry Murphy has gelled them into a very effective team, so we can have no complaints. The better team won on the day.
His marker that day? One Johnny Dooley, who had another few years ahead of him in the grade. "I was 15. I’d only been drafted in for the Leinster final, played against Kilkenny — my first game in Croke Park — and then we beat Antrim in Dundalk in the... Full Article at Irish Examiner

Kerry play a fantastic style of football. Dublin are more workmanlike, regimental even. One would have thought that once the score is achieved, then that would be enough. For the Dubs, it certainly was. It would have been hard to find one dissenting... Full Article at Irish Examiner

As soon as he was picked in the side I knew he'd be sweet ... He killed it in the trials … so I knew he'd fit right in like he did on Saturday. If he keeps putting up performances like that though, he's going to be keeping people on their toes in the first-grade side.
For years we’ve campaigned for equity of access to college ... This perk is the absolute opposite and the very type of thing that the Croke Park Agreement should be abolishing.
The (Croke Park) review will be held amid a clamour from a generally hostile media led by William Martin Murphy's former charges in Independent News & Media
Peter has turned things round for us. He wields a very big influence and has helped to bring Fermanagh into the national spotlight again. There is not much he does not know about winning at Croke Park
Ultimately, though, we have to make our own luck. Tyrone are unbeaten, they will take great confidence from their playing record to date and they will certainly relish playing in Croke Park
Two All-Ireland Vocational schools titles — 1988 and ’89, a National League at Croke Park in 2003, a Railway Cup and two All-Irelands. You never tire of the place. You always have an air of anticipation and the prospect of going to Croke Park fills you with it. There’s an aura about it. It’s nerve-tingl...

At the start of every year, one of your main aims is to get to Croke Park by the middle of the year. It is one more game to help us get used to the pitch, and hopefully it will stand us in good stead coming back in the next couple of months
I missed out on the league and championship last year and it’s great to be involved again. To be going to Croke Park is something special
And obviously it will all be done in the context of Croke Park.
Their efforts impressed the judges in Croke Park last Wednesday and their second place in the national junior category is a fantastic achievement for the school
Of course, it adds to anyone’s confidence if you put on a performance like that when you need to, especially in Croke Park. If you look at last year’s league performances we conceded 10 goals and fell behind in every game so we are happy with how we have changed that. We have a good idea where we are an...
Getting a good performance in Croke Park was important
I welcome the pressure. I have seen it before in Gaelic games, and have played for Armagh at Croke Park. I took time to consider the move. I was told that when Linfield come knocking at the door they generally only knock once, and that I should not let the chance pass me by.
We know that Wicklow will be a much more difficult proposition and test for us in Croke Park
Obviously it would be a big disappointment to miss out on this game as it will be played in Croke Park
It's not that they don't trust Kildare, but they want to send out a clear message that if a county runs into financial trouble, it's not just a question of phoning Croke Park. Having an outsider looking over your shoulder is embarrassing for any county, but Kildare have to put up with it. They caused th...
Etihad Airways' support of our new Skyline facility is a further acknowledgement of their commitment to Gaelic games and in this instance to Croke Park in particular and we look forward to many more years in fruitful partnership with this leading international brand
We kept going for the full 70 minutes of normal time and again in extra-time, which was very encouraging. Every time you come to Croke Park and win, it's a good day
Well no ... We’re back next Saturday anyway, so a replay wouldn’t have been a problem. We’d factored that into the plans as well. We’ll get a good hard spell of training in Portugal this week, work a little on the team dynamic, and it’s brilliant to have another game in Croke Park next month.
But we kept going, and eventually got there, with some luck, maybe, to get the two goals in the end. But then we were unlucky not to get another penalty along the way. Every time you come to Croke Park and win games it builds confidence.
Croke Park is part and parcel of the deal, the teachers know where they are. They were iffy about it [at the beginning], now it has become the Holy Grail and it can't be touched. So who owns consistency?
I think other things like managing the pitch invasion situation at Croke Park has been important also ... It creates a good scene around health and safety which is so important for our players and patrons. I suppose keeping our attendances up for the last three years is very important also and we recogn...

Croke Park and Ireland: And when the carpenter turned actor followed his county as a fan for its appearance at Croker in an All-Ireland semi-final in 1994, he described the joy and despair of the defeat to Dublin in a poem.'
Croke Park and Australia: Australia 55 Ireland 52 (Croke Park)(Australia won 102-92 on aggregate)Last series in Australia (2008): Ireland 45 Australia 44 (Perth);
Croke Park and Canada: Former Garrycastle player Padraig Rattigan (30) jetted all the way from his new home in Canada last weekend to see his former team-mates performing in Croke Park.
Croke Park and Ulster: Greater tests lie ahead obviously, but Mickey Harte hasn't lost too many Croke Park finals (just the 2005 Ulster final replay from five appearances before yesterday) in his 10 seasons of Tyrone management, so the magnitude of what Kildare achieved shouldn't be diminished in any way, not least by themselves.
