If there was a health and safety issue that stopped it in the first place what has changed since?

Waterford must already be digging their heels in for next year’s Munster Championship.

The GAA need to start copping on and arrange matches for venues which are a good fit with the crowds they will attract. That will generally mean one team has home advantage.

That’s what makes a good product and makes people want to go to games, and watch them on television.

They’ve actually done a reasonable job this year of doing this. Mayo v Galway, Roscommon v Galway, Dublin v Kilkenny, Kilkenny v Wexford, Galway v Kilkenny, Cork v Limerick, Clare v Limerick and the Ulster final were all played to full houses or near full houses.

But Waterford playing their Munster hurling championship matches in Limerick and Thurles made for paltry crowds. They made a big mistake in doing that and the games should have been played at Walsh Park even if the attendance was capped at 7,000 or 8,000. Wicklow v Dublin should have been played in Aughrim.

Round 4 football qualifiers should be played at the home venues of the teams who lose the provincial finals. Up to now they’ve been played at neutral venues and are generally very poorly attended.

Could they not allocate/ nominate x amount of stadiums fit for purpose before the championship begins … then at least every one knows where they stand.

If your names not down you’re not getting in.

3925

Why should Provincial finalists get home advantage? Leinster and Munster are cake walks.

I don’t see how they can do that. What if Leitrim pull a Kildare, refuse to turn up? They’d have to pay them off.
