Cavan back Croker calls
Croke Park has a current capacity of 80,000
Croke Park is one of Europe's most impressive stadiums
Cavan and Dublin have become the latest counties to back proposals to open Croke Park to other sports.

On Monday evening, both counties' annual conventions passed motions which would give the GAA's Central Council the power to make the historic change.

The Cavan motion, submitted by the Ramor United Club, and the Dublin one, from Kilmacud Crokes, will go before the National Congress next April.

Also on Monday evening, Waterford delegates rejected a similar motion.

The Waterford motion was defeated by 82 votes to 50 and the county's chairman Paddy Joe Ryan urged a firm decision to be taken at Congress and not to have this issue visited on an annual basis.
