The Dublin football team could be moved out of Croke Park for next summer’s Leinster SFC quarter-final clash against Laois or Wicklow.

Following last night’s 2016 Championship draw, Leinster GAA Advisory Committee Chairman John Horan spoke to RTÉ Sport and promised that he would investigate the possibilities of staging the game in Kilkenny’s Nowlan Park, which can hold up to 24,000 spectators.

“So that is a promise. It will be on an agenda." - John Horan

The last time that Dublin played a Championship match outside of the GAA Headquarters was back in June 2006 at Longford's Pearse Park.

The ultimate decision will be taken by the Leinster Council delegates but Horan emphasised that it is a real possibility and a situation that he would have no objections to.

“I certainly would have no problem putting it in front of the delegates that we investigate the possibility of taking Dublin out of Croke Park to play the winners of Laois and Wicklow down in Nowlan Park,” said Horan.

“So that is a promise. It will be on an agenda and it will be interesting to see what the delegates decide.

“Outside of Croke Park, Nowlan Park has the biggest seating capacity in the province, with 17,000. Both Offaly and Laois have six and seven thousand in seating capacity and just do not suit the needs of a match when you have a crowd that would follow Dublin to the game.

“So yes, there is a possibility that Dublin will come out of Croke Park and there is a possibility it will be in Nowlan Park.

“Obviously, we need to talk to Kilkenny but Nowlan Park offers that possibility of that event happening.”

Leinster will confirm dates and venues for their championships at a council meeting in Portlaoise on 11 November.
