Would be an unwise move when they have the new stadium to pay for. Itâs their best chance of getting games to PUC.

43,000 got the chance to attend the Munster Final last year, 11,000 fewer will have the chance to go this time.
Clubs are going to be balls to the wall trying to sort out tickets for this. Theyâll be busier than they would be for an All Ireland final.
Oliver Mann is well within his rights to complain about the capacity issue, at the end of the day he is the County Board chairman, he has a responsibility to club members and supporters to ensure that the most of them will get to watch the game.
Kev, if the shoe was on the other foot, Cork would have got the match changed, and you fucking know it.
Apparently, at the Munster council meeting for the venue decision, there was 4 Cork men & 1 Limerick man present.

Firstly it appears you are wrong with the numbers.
And if Limerick went with a sling shot to a shoot out then itâs not Corks fault.
Cork should tell them get fucked after this.
Maybe ya. But we have a much better hurling record in Thurles against Limerick. Away seems to be a certain loss.

Who the Munster council? The examiner are the only ones reporting with a slant towards Limerick whining. Iâm not far off with the numbers if the remedial works are unsatisfactory.
Hardly democratic if it is 4 vs 1 in a vote, is it.
Limerick didnât push the issue on the venue, just ticket allocation, the Munster Council has caused the hullaballo about the venue. Oliver Mann has played a blinder, they only way this could have been better for him is if they switched it to the Gaelic GroundsâŚ
He has the examiner and hence the Langers whining about us whining.
ye are the ones that keep bringing up the story. Even though ye got the match. I think Cork are stage 6 rattled, and when we beat them sentimentally down in the Pairc, it will go stage 10. I predict 2 retirements and a strike.
[QUOTE=âElvis Brandenberg Kremmen, post: 971047, member: 1624â]In fairness, Cork have been exposed as the true liars as Simon Moroney clearly takes issue with their spreading false claims of a capacity of 40k when they knew full well it was never anywhere near that.
What is Mann supposed to say? âWeâre delighted that so many many people will miss out on going to the gameâ I know the players couldnât give a fuck where the match is played and, from a team point of view, thatâs all that matters.
The only cunt who should never again hold office is that two-faced liar Frost. Couldnât wait to get a seeded football draw to maximise revenue yet allows the hurling final go to a 32k capacity stadium when they could have a potential gate of 47-48k. Thatâs hypocrisy for you.[/QUOTE]
The fact of the matter is that Cork always get their way.
I donât blame Cork at all. I only wish we had such clout.
The issue here is with the Munster Council being such spineless cunts and bowing to them. Promote the game? Facilitate the supporters and clubs? Use the very same financial arguments as they applied to fixing a Cork-Kerry Munster football final? No chance. The same people refused to consider Waterfordâs request to play championship games at Walsh Park due to itâs capacity too.
32k capacity for the biggest game of the year in the province. Cork supporters are as badly affected by this as anyone, as theyâll find out in the next few weeks. The stadium is about to be bulldozed but is still considered capable of hosting such an important match.
Cork are due a home game. No issue with that whatsoever. Before the report from Slattery came back the Munster Council should have said âif the ground can hold 40k the Munster final will be in Pairc Ui Chaoimh. Canât be fairer than that. Anything less and weâre moving it to Thurles, tough shit.â Senior clubs getting 12 stand tickets for a Munster final ffs.
Repair works get underway in PUC today

The ticket allocation issue IS the stadium issue, they cannot be mutually exclusive. Do you think Iâm retarded? Or the whole of Cork?

You have a massive cork chip on that shoulder.
I can only go on the evidence I have in front of me⌠so at the moment it is just you.
Point out anything incorrect I have said there.
Iâve no real issue with Cork. Ye are fighting tooth and nail for home advantage, every other county would do the same.
The Munster Council clearly have no backbone and have put the interests of one member ahead of the interests of everyone else (Waterford minors, neutrals, Limerick clubs and supporters etc).
I hope it is sunny. Will be a great occasion if the sun is out.

The Munster council is overly represented with Cork cunts. hence the undemocratic nature of the decision. How many tickets will Waterford get?
Seen a figure of 1,500 mentioned. If true that is a disgrace.
You can be damn sure Frank will ensure Cork will get the lions share of the tickets too.
Fuck it, I canât wait for Sunday two weeks. Itâs a coronation for Cork, just hope we can give them a competitive gameâŚ
They just turned up to a meeting. Were they all members if the council? I thought Jerry Sullivan was the only lad on it.
@caoimhaoin, please accept that you are completely wrong on the figures for the capacity of PUC, as has been pointed out to you many times on this thread.
The capacity has been officially limited to 32,168 by the Munster Council but can rise to 35,000 in accordance with a report from the GAAâs Health and Safety Committee if certain measures are carried out. - See more at: http://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/hurling/cork-given-green-light-to-host-munster-hurling-final-at-pairc-ui-chaoimh-30382120.html#sthash.GMiKggjp.dpuf
I canât be wrong, I have not definitively said anything, but others have and the truth is nobody knows yet. However I expect it will rise
If Frank is really as powerful as ye are making out, significantly more than ye Limerick cunts will end up with.
Would you all fuck off with this shite.
