THERE will be no fans in Croke Park on Sunday but even before Covid arrived, attending matches has become a much more clinical experience compared to the days of old.
Nowadays, transport to games is by car or train, a walk to the ground with comfortable seats – no newspapers required under your backside – and an excellent view. There are even corporate boxes for those that can afford it. After the match is another trip door to door home or a stay in a hotel.
