what does the gaa have do to prevent the goverment using corke park should the goverment use corke park for other sports events? build a new stadium? or should the Gaa preserve the right to refuse the goverment use croke park? unsigned question
Im glad to see that Croke Park are opening its doors to facilitate international rugby and soccer during the Lansdowne Road redevelopement. Hopefully there can be just as great an atmosphere during these games as there is in All Ireland finals.
croke park got this a while ago so i think it should be included as it is not in the group of 5 star stadiums
Added to cat ( Gnevin 16:33, 11 June 2006 (UTC))
Croker seems to fulfill all the criteria for a UEFA 5 star ranking but maybe the fact that it's not a soccer ground yet, could be the reason it doesn't have an official ranking. Afn 18:08, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Are you sure that croker has floodlights? I know there's a plan to put them in, but I don't believe they are there yet.. wmcnamara. Sept 10th 2006.
Croke park does NOT have UEFA 5 star rating. Star ratings are only applied by UEFA once a stadium has applied to host a UEFA Cup or Champions League final. Croke park never has. So the fact it may meet the criteria doesnt matter. Willy turner 18:14, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
I understand why User:Gnevin removed the table but I think that in context it has some real relevance. He talked about none of the peer stadia having fixture lists. Correct, but none of the peer stadia have allowed foreign sports to be played on their grass for the first time ever and are proposing to revert their temporary rule change that allowed this to happen.
If the GAA revert to their previous attitude, then I think a list of the 6 (or whatever) games that were played there would be appropriate for inclusion. And given that, I think its appropriate to include the list now. So I have reverted the revert. Frelke 20:54, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
I previously corrected the capacity to 82,300. This is the figure on the official Croke Park website. User Gnevin has since reverted it to 82,500, citing the fact that the wikipedia article says it once had an attendance of 82,500. That is irrelevant. Any stadium capacity figure should be taken where possible from an official club or stadium website Willy turner 18:08, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
It says 82,500 on the very link you give. 87.194.61.149 10:57, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
The article suggests that Croke park is the 5th largest stadium (in terms of capacity) in the EU, listed behind Camp Nou, Wembley, San Siro and Rome's stadio olympico.
However the link for the rome stadium suggests it has a capacity of 82000. This is smaller than Croke Park's stated capacity of 82300/82500. So that makes it the 4th largest surely. Is there some other info about the rome stadium to suggest it has a larger capacity than 82000.-- 89.100.40.221 10:25, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
If the Irish pound didn't exist between 1826 and 1928. Why is this the currency used to quote the original construction costs? Fasach Nua 19:50, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Inonsistency with Bloody Sunday (1920) page. That page regards the Auxilary involvement to be a misconception wheras the Croke Park page has the Auxilary as the cause.
To quote:
"The Croke Park Massacre on the afternoon of Bloody Sunday is usually blamed on the Auxiliaries. While the police raiding party was composed in part of Temporary Cadets from Depot Company and commanded by an Auxiliary officer, Major Mills, eyewitness reports make it clear that ordinary police did most of the shooting at Croke Park.[22]"
Inconsistency needs to be addressed.
Is anyone going to deal with this contradiction, or are we just going to ignore it indefinitely?
I propose:
During the Irish War of Independence on November 21, 1920 Croke Park was the scene of a massacre by the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC). The Police, supported by British Army Auxillaries (Black & Tans) entered the ground, shooting indiscriminately into the crowd killing or fatally wounding 12 during a Dublin-Tipperary gaelic football match. The dead included 11 spectators and Tipperary's captain, Michael Hogan. Posthumously, the Hogan stand built in 1924 was named in his honour. These shootings, on the day which became known as Bloody Sunday, were a reprisal for the assassination of 14 British Intelligence officers, known as the Cairo Gang, by Michael Collins's 'squad' earlier that day.
It's essentially an edit of the existing text, restored to match Bloody Sunday article. I removed 'massacre' as the dictionary definition is "the indiscriminate killing of a large number of human beings", I edited the dead from the shootings to 12 (2 were trampled) and changed the perpatrators to the Royal Irish Constabulary, without the detail of Mills being in command. If someone wants to know that I'm sure they'll check the full article. I think the above is more accurate, anyone disagree? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.76.189.10 ( talk) 23:20, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
Edited to restore 'massacre', seems that's the accepted phrase 'Croke Park Massacre'.
Does this mean its the largest amateur ground in Ireland, Europe, the 6 nations or the world?-- Play Brian Moore 16:42, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Is Croke Park a national stadium ? Or in other words is Croke Park the the primary or exclusive home for one or more of a country's national representative sports teams .In my opinion its only the temperory home of Soccer and Rugby and so doesn't pass this def Gnevin ( talk) 08:37, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
The article mention future work, but does anyone know what changes in capacity this would result in? Lord Cornwallis ( talk) 20:20, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
I've changed the capacity to 82,300 according to the GAA website: http://www.crokepark.ie/page/venue_information.html -- HighKing ( talk) 00:10, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
Someone has just added cy:Parc Croke. Is 'Croke' the correct spelling in Welsh? That's the Anglicised spelling, I would have thought that the name originated in Irish as Crocaigh, so a Welsh translation would surely be closer to that. -- Eamonnca1 ( talk) 17:41, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
I was at the celebration in Croke Park last night along with 80,000 other souls. Not a bad attendance for a very wintry Saturday night (especially at the top of the Hogan where the wind would cut you). Aside from the match (which was superb), the fireworks, lights, concerts and everything made Croker look last night like it has never looked before. Does anybody have photos of it that they could add to this article? That would be a fantastic addition. My photos were taken with my phone so they would be a bit crap for this article to be honest. There must be brilliant photos! 86.42.73.225 ( talk) 19:12, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
It may be worth expanding on the following sentence:
Perhaps it could be replaced with:
Needless to say it would need the relevant citation and a short list of some of those who made the allegation.

It is surely wrong to say that the Croke Park 'bloody Sunday' shootings were 'in reprisal' for anything.
'In reprisal' sounds as if the deaths were planned and the deaths premeditated.
Nothing in the Wikipedia main bloody Sunday article, or any other source, suggests that the deaths were planned or premeditated. What happened looks more like a classic balls up by frightened policemen on a day when many other people had already been killed by the IRA - deaths which were premeditated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.5.0.208 ( talk) 20:04, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
I have reverted addition of concerts that have not yet taken place, but there are several editors continuing to add the Chilli Peppers event next June. I would argue against this inclusion: this is an encyclopaedia of facts, not a listing magazine, and the frequency of concert cancellation is such that it is difficult to say more than that this is scheduled. I would maintain therefore that it should not be in the article until it occurs, or at least that, if retained, it should be in a separate table. Opinions? Kevin McE ( talk) 08:08, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
I dont think it makes any difference whether future concerts are listed on the article, but if users are continuing to add the events then maybe its better to leave them and make a seperate table like you suggested. Handsopened ( talk) 12:59, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
