So far this year I've been to five rural grounds - Portlaoise, Newry, Tullamore, Ennis and Killarney. Newry and Tullamore had very respectable toilet facilities, so no complaints there.Ennis, Killarney and Portlaise did not. No toilet roll, no running tap water, in some cases no lighting, in all three cases it looked as if the toilets hadn't been cleaned for some time. Visitors from Dublin like myself expect better as we're used to high standards. Why do patrons in these counties settle for this kind of squalor? Truly revolting.

That's the kind of attitude to personal hygiene that sums of why the toilets at these grounds are in the state they're in. I hope I never have to shake hands with you.

staycalm, what's worrying is that you appear to glory in your ambivalent attitude towards personal hygiene. This kind of attitude literally stinks. If I'm ever in Cusack Park again (and I won't be unless Dublin are playing there, thankfully), you'll have no need to be worrying about standing near me in the toilets. I'd far rather retain the contents of my bladder rather than venture into those "facilities" again.

What's even more worrying is a man complaining about toilet facilities at a GAA ground. Suppose if you were reared to be a softie, it never leaves you!!

I don't think it is too much to expect a clean toilet for a paying customer. Tipsy has a point, some toilets are a disgrace. The smell alone can be bad enough but no running water is again shabby treatment.

P!ss against the wall at the back of a stand or terrace. No problem with any smell then

Personal hygiene is very much an optional extra down in the sticks.

People go to grounds to watch matches, not to groom themselves in the toilets.
Stupid topic.

Going to the bathroom is hardly grooming yourself. It's hardly something you can control having to do.
