Gardaí and Garth Brooks issue brilliant piece of advice to fans heading to Croke Park for last gig tonight

Garth Brooks joined two senior gardaí on Saturday to issue some advice to fans ahead of his final gig in Croke Park on Saturday night.

The US country star will play a final sold-out show at GAA HQ tonight but beforehand teamed up with gardaí to advise fans travelling to the capital.

While serious advice was also issued, gardaí posted a light-hearted piece of very country advice on Saturday morning.

Posting a picture of Supt Mooney and Supt McMenamin with the Friends In Low Places singer, gardaí advised "all those showing up in their boots today not to blame it on their roots & to arrive at Croke Park early."

In further advice to concertgoers, gardaí said gates at Croke Park will open at 5pm with the concert starting at 7.30pm.

In conjunction with the Transport Agencies attached Gardaí have developed a transport plan to assist patrons attending the Garth Brooks Concert at Croke Park Stadium.

They advise people to arrive by public transport where possible or use park and ride facilities.

They warned motorists that Clonliffe College no longer has a parking facility. They also told people to come up with meeting points outside the cordon as tickets may be required at certain points near the stadium.

"Croke Park is in a residential area. Patrons attending are requested to respect residents by behaving in an appropriate manner when going to and departing the stadium," gardaí added.

"Issues such as illegal parking, anti-social behaviour, drinking and urinating in public cause difficulties and will not be tolerated by An Garda Síochána. Patrons are asked to desist from such behaviour."

A4-sized bags only are permitted and there is no facility for leaving bags with no areas to drop and collect.

Attendees are told to follow any garda instruction at all times.
