Croke Park has purchased over 400 scales in a bid to curb heavier supporters taking up too much room at All-Ireland semi-finals and finals. They have also asked Ticketmaster to add a tab to their app, which will make buyers declare their weight before purchasing a ticket, in stones and pounds.

Early trials suggest that people with a BMI of over 30 will be charged £10 more than the asking price and will be told to stand in Hill 16.

This morning, we travelled around the county and asked for views on the subject:

“That’s me on the diet now. I’ve a good feeling we’ll do well next year and I don’t have the legs for standing on Hill 16” RONAN MCSHELVY (COALISLAND)

“It’s a disgrace. Sure half them people that run the GAA are a quare size themselves.” PETER MORAN (TRILLICK)

“I’m furious. Not at Croke Park. The people. Fat bastards are ruining everything for everyone.” TOM DAVIDSON (BROCAGH)

“I’m a big girl myself and don’t mind standing on the Hill.” ELIZE MADONNA KELLEGHER (CASTLEDERG)

Meanwhile, Croke Park has also announced it will be limiting burger quotas to just one burger per family until the above issue has settled.
