A season ticket for the Hill wears on a man. Thirty-odd years following Dublin and I've picked up a few habits along the way: a pint before throw-in, a scone after Mass, and a healthy suspicion of anyone who calls it 'soccer' at Dalyer. This is where I actually go, not where the tourist board wants you to go. No frills, no fuss, like a good corner-back.

Places I'd bring a blow-in — 3 items
Name	Address	City	My take
1Croke Park	Jones Road, Dublin 3, D03 P6K7	Dublin	Home ground, emphasis on home. Thirty years of Hill 16 and my knees still haven't forgiven me.
2GAA Museum	Croke Park, St Joseph's Avenue, Dublin 3, D03 P6K7	Dublin	Bring the nephews here on a wet Tuesday and you'll lose them for two hours. Educational, and it gets them out of my hair.
3Parnell Park	Collins Avenue, Donnycarney, Dublin 5	Dublin	Where you actually learn the Dublin team before Croker ever hears their names. Smaller crowd, bigger shouting per capita.
