I have a season ticket to Richmond Park and Parnell Park.
I've also been to mad places around the country that the GAA force Dublin to go to when they are in the qualifier series. I have travelled to all-ireland minor and U-21 games, to which Dublin also bring the biggest crowds. The 1970s resurgence of the GAA was built on the people that stopped watching teams like Berties "Drums" (sold to Home Farm in 1971 or so) and so is definitely League of Ireland and former League of Ireland people (and their money)
I agree with Derek that the GAA are happy to take Dubs money then treat them shabbily. (Similar to the way Irish Rail treat the regular user)
