Thatâs probably the issue alright because there was no other justification for what they did. Initially they argued that the pitch couldnât cope with 3 games on one day (eg. Minor/Ring final/Senior game), but then they went ahead and scheduled the Meagher/Rackard/Ring finals for the same day from then on
It would make a such huge difference if they did that. From the lads I know who played in those games it really was a significant incentive. Unfortunately theyâre all in football dominated counties so there is little or no hope of a motion to bring it back. Would have to come from central council.
say we win the all Ireland in hurling, will we still have to play the promotion play off game v the bottom team in the munster round robin ? So in theory Kerry can win the all Ireland and lose the promotion play off game? the all Ireland winners could not be in the provincial championship the following year. !!!
Waterford chairman Paddy Joe Ryan on RTE radio there saying Walsh Park will host their Munster hurling championship matches against Tipp and Cork - unless the decision is taken out of their handsâŚ
I know it upset the 2 home 2 away games dynamic but a double header on the open day of the munster championship would be an attractive billing. double headers in munster would be appealing
also in leinster actually - will parnell pk be big enough for the dubs home games assuming they are playing them there
It will sell out for the Kilkenny match anyway. I think itâs a good idea using home grounds regardless of their size. It creates atmosphere and it will be live on tv for anyone who doesnât get a ticket.
Having said that the gaa should be ashamed of themselves for not giving Dublin the funding to build a bigger stadium. We will always be the outsiders unfortunately
say launch the munster championship with Cork v Tipp with Limerick v Waterford curtain raiser âŹ20 per ticket venue Pairc Ui Chaoimh, go all out promoting it to fill de place. ???
