Pressure to resume to allow soccer at Croke park
06/12/2003 - 08:00:00The GAA is to come under intense pressure to surrender the use of Croke park for Irish soccer internationals, following yesterday's draw for the 2006 World Cup qualifiers.
According to reports today, the Government will join in negotiations between the FAI and the GAA for high profile soccer internationals to be played in Croke park.
Estimates suggest that the traditional GAA ground could be easily filled to capacity, for a qualifying game like Ireland v France.
