None of that is relevant . Kildare got a hone draw , there is nothing in the rule book that says they canāt play st home .
Whole thing stinks .

Interesting explanation, where are you hearing this? The official explanation was that there are so many Mayo season ticket holders that Newbridge canāt hold them all.
3,700 apparently.
Its pretty tedious. The fixation with formats seems to be largely a reaction to the paranoia about Dublinās recent dominance. The last great cause before the obsession with formats was the burning need for the GAA to have a strong Dublin after they only won 1 All Ireland in 25 odd years.

If,as it seems, fixture was announced for Croke Park (or headquarters, as some refer to it) without consultation with Kildare thatās completely wrong.
Kildare should get to play it at home, even if they can only get in a tiny crowd- thatās their problem.
Bizzare that Kildare and Waterford, donāt have grounds suitable for a decent sized game.
Still find Cian O Neill very irritating m.
The reason they didnāt nominate an alternative venue themselves is because they werenāt given the chance, the GGA just unilaterally decided to move their game to Croke Park.
The reason they have a shit ground is because the GGA has been flooding money into Dublin and Croke Park, fattening up their cash cow and leaving the game in midlands to rot and die.
I cant see a huge injustice here
Youāre a fucking tool. The GGA invents rules then rips them up the second thereās a buck to be made in breaking them, even if it means fucking a county over. Itās a fucking disgrace and theyāre a shambles, shameless money grabbing cunts. On the plus side a proper rebellion against Croke Park is long overdue.
If theyāre pushing the Health and Safety line now, not the original reason they gave, they should be fucking stoned out of down, pack of frauds.

Thereās only 3,700 of them. Thereās enough to cater for them at Newbridge.
Yeah but thereās a higher possibility that they could lose in Newbridge and we couldnāt have that.

The English FA, which is a professional sport, wouldnāt be so shameless as to try this.
They sold out to sky 20 years ago mate,the gaa are playing catchup
Complete speculation on my part.
In the FA cup the small teams get their home tie. I remember vaguely once over 20 years ago Newcastle managed to get a tie moved out of a non-league ground on health and safety grounds and it was a major controversy. The health and safety grounds here are completely bogus.

hope kildare hang in there on this
w,r,t cavan tirone as Clones and Armagh are ruled out surely enniskillen or even newry are obvious venues?
do cavan want to take it out of ulster or as breffni is unavailable do the CCCCCCC then have the power to dictate a venue?
Cavam wanted it in Brewster Park in Enniskillen
And rightly so
Would you ever fuck off. Kildare County Boatd went bankrupt building an unneccesary centre of excellence in Hawkfield and firing money at Kieran McGeeney. They are solely responsible for the embarrassment that is St Conleths park.

This is true,but they are still entitled to a home game Saturday.Its also true that the duds have had a shitload of cash channelled to them in the last 10 years but thatās for another day.

Kildare not rolling over as meekly as Dublin on this one. Dublin have given up home advantage in Parnell Park for years.
