Supporters complained that there was restricted movement in the stadium on Sunday.
THE GAA SAY they will review the seating arrangements at Tailteann Cup games following congestion complaints from fans who attended the semi-finals in Croke Park.
In a statement issued to The 42, the association points out that logistics of these fixtures will be considered “in light of the growing popularity of the Tailteann Cup.” Down and Meath prevailed after a double-header at GAA Headquarters yesterday, where the attendance was believed to be 17,500. Croke Park has a capacity of over 80,000. However, there were complaints from supporters regarding crowd congestion and restricted movement in the stadium, as well as issues with access to toilet facilities.
“Gardaí, stewards and Customer Care took a proactive approach to address congested areas and we would like to acknowledge the cooperation and patience of supporters in the Lower Hogan Stand. Thankfully there was no report of any medical incidents on the day.“The unreserved seating model is commonly used for fixtures such as yesterday’s. In light of the growing popularity of the Tailteann Cup arrangements for future fixtures in the competition will be reviewed.
