Roy gets it.
Pairc Ui Chaoimh is technically not invisible but it does look like it tends to look for a Munster club football final between Austin Stacks and The Nire.
If only Curtis could move his lazy arse off the high stool and go to a match.

You were applauding the lack of interest in this game earlier. In all fairness, youâre not very bright.
Soccer types like @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy are only laughing at the GAA self-sabotage of their flagship competitions.
The only Wexford county teams you could watch in action online this weekend were:
Wexford FC in their 1-1 draw away to Athlone last night & Wexford FC Women in their terrific 3-2 win away to Shamrock Rovers this evening.

Register that one you cunt
The smart money was on Kerry they said.
Whereâs this sunny April weather that split season zealot @Perez2017 was saying weâd have for the Championship action this weekend?
I was lighting the fire there as I listening to Cork v Kerry in Munster Championship action.

I presume you take your summer holidays in April.
Ceili House pulled for the night on RTE Radio 1. Traditional musical enthusiasts will be up in arms about this split season.
They may love their Gaelic football in Kerry but they love their traditional music as well and even if they win here that win will be soured by that.
My match programme from that Wexford - Limerick qualifier played in mid July in 2009 is still damp.

Who could have possibly foreseen that playing interminable âChampionshipâ Round Robin games on cold, damp Saturdayâs in April wouldnât work?

Poor quality, poor attendances.
Whodathunkit.
Offaly are a bizarre one. They traveled in thousands to follow the minors and U20s and wont when theyâre senior. Random shit.
Stunned to see Antrim didnt travel in big numbers to Wexford.
weird
like i know its poor quality but they only play a few games every year
They travel because there was an expectation they would win. The seniors donât have that yet.
Kilkenny v Galway in 2018 was a game between 2 teams who won 4 of the previous 5 All-Irelands. Kilkenny v Galway in 2025 was a game between 2 teams who won 0 of the previous 7 All-Irelands. Itâs a matter of deciding whether we commission PWC or KPMG to unravel the mystery on why the attendances have fallen.

One of the reasons the Munster Premier League works in and of itself as a format (disregarding any of the negative effect it has on the rest of the championship) is that it has become an EVENT. Itâs an event because itâs COMPETITIVE. Itâs an event because the counties border each other.
Two of the counties have grounds more or less perfect for their needs, ensuring sell out crowds. But even in this format Waterford suffer a bit because theyâre sort of tucked away down there in the corner and Waterford supporters arenât particularly keen on going to Limerick or Ennis.
Two other counties have large stadiums in urban areas. They currently have the support bases needed to largely fill those grounds, Limerick because theyâre coming off the back of a period of dominance and hurling being sexy there and Cork because theyâre starved and smell success.
Tipp can at least currently rely on large travelling Cork and Limerick supports when those counties visit. Tipp at home to Waterford and Clare is the achilles heel in the format. Those games tend not to draw large crowds.
18 of these 20 possible pairings have become to these counties what a Leinster final against Meath on the last Sunday of July used to be to Dublin. Maybe 17 and a half as Clare v Waterford at Ennis can be a hit or miss pairing.
But EVENTS are supposed to be bad, right? And it may not always be an event. EVENTS can be transient. Tipp v Clare used to be an EVENT in the 1997-2001 period but that quickly waned.
Leinster has none of that because hardly any of the counties border each other. Itâs the URC of provincial championships. The hurling equivalent of Leinster, Glasgow, the Dragons, Zebre and the Sharks thrown in together. Itâs just not sexy and never will be.
