There is, actually. The CCCC has the final say on fixtures and venues. Kildare may have been screwed but theyâve been screwed legally.
I disagree. Cavan and Kildare would have huge support if they got to the Super 8. Cavan is a mad football county and Kildare people really get behind their team if they throw a few shapes at all. The idea that Croke Park are trying to fix the teams that reach the super 8 to make a few extra quid is not credible

as were KK against Tipp in 2013 maybe
the gah are in circles here
- health and safety is only an issue if you do pay at gate, make it an 8k capacity and all ticket
- the irish derby in the curragh now been cited as an excuse,
they need to man up and come out and say it that it is purely for financial grounds

did they fold or are they playing hardball also?
The GPA have issued a statement supporting Kildare.
Kildare are not entitled to a home game. The home venues are subject to approval by the CCC. Thee CCC have not approved Newbridge. Simples

The Kildare crowd are some shower of whingers.
If they hadnât squandered the lavish handouts given them by the GGA they might have been able to host this game.
Sky sports ratings are abysmal for this and you canât blame them for wanting to cut down on expenses by having a double header in Croke Park.

I was listening to the radio this morning,âthe first team out will be at home unless itâs leitrim or armaghâ.Kildare were first out.Simple.

Nonsense.
Accommodating numbers and accommodating televising I believe, but to suggest itâs money reasons or to stack odds in favour of Mayo is nonsense.
There was 11000 watching Mayo in Thurles on Saturday. There was 410000 watching Dublin in Croke Park on Sunday.

One was a Leinster final the other was a qualifier against a hurling county.
Fuck accommodating numbers and tv,if Iâm kildare I want to give my team the best chance of winning and thatâs by playing on my home pitch no matter how big a dump it is.

That would be Fergal McGill, GAA Director of Games Administration. Somewhat inevitable Iâd have thought.
