Ya itās seems to be online for many games. Itās some joke.
Spotted it this morning only
Online for all games in Cork. Iād say the clubs will be broke and the Co board rolling in it
I would be amazed if somebody at the gate didnāt sort it out for him at club matches. Or you/somebody could print out the ticket for him in advance.

Kilmallock club help people who arenāt online to buy them. They advertise it when they send out the link. Which is grand except youāre not online. Iād say ask the club for help
Another two fingers to the people on the ground
Surely wouldnt stop people at the gate but definetely stopping older people attending games.
What way is the Junior A set up once the group stages are finished?
I was at a game last weekend with a big crowd at it and they were taking cash just inside the gate. Fella with a bag sorting people out, Iād say it was the host club just being practical and sorting lads out rather than any change in policy. All online sales Iād say for ever more now.
Iād say if your father wants to go to a game and turns up thereāll be a fair chance heāll be let in if he says thereās my tenner, I donāt have a smart phone. Common sense dictates we should be encouraging people like that to go to matches. But itās a risky approach, could travel miles to a game and a jumped up little prick on the gate could turn him away - āonline sales only.ā I saw such a scenario unfold a few weeks back. Awful for the elderly chap in question. I think for a finish a kind passing soul offered to buy it for him there and then so he got sorted thankfully.
Itās really at the mercy of the person on the gate, though. Technically they shouldnāt accept cash but most folk are decent and will probably turn a blind eye to it. Go on in thereā¦

I have paid cash at the gate for three club games this year. Never an issue. Although the auld lad last night told me āIām not supposed to do thisā as he grabbed the tenner off me. No one else has had any issue with it
Anyone at that kind of shite at a gate blocking an elderly person from getting into a club game should be excommunicated from the GAA. Fuck sake. Incredible behaviour, get your priorities right.

He probably pocketed your tenner
This started with the sky sports deal
Probably, be dead fucking right
Heād only get in trouble with his superiors for breaking protocol and he kept you happy.
Win, win and win.
No it didnāt. Thereās always been jumped up arseholes at gates. I posted a while back Joe Duffy had a whole program not too long back about treatment of disabled people at aemple stadium, had an experience of it myself. Itās nothing to do with the rules, itās just people being arseholes. There is always a way around the rules.
There is a certain Limerick official who has been doing the gate for a long, long time who is, honestly, a bit of a prick and has been making it as difficult as possible to get into matches for umpteen years. Long before I was born up until the modern day.

Some people are just small and bitter arseholes and will find some way to express it.
Thereās a lot more than one!
Most of them are sensible enough though. I was talking to a few of them before a few games the first weekend and all were agreed that the ticketing thing was a nonsense for elderly people. Theyāve been taking cash at the gate for most games from what Iāve seen. I wasnāt at any games this weekend as I was away at a wedding.

BTW a tenner is fucking ridiculous for a JA hurling group stage match.
It was a cracking evening last night, but it could easily have been pissing rain. If you are charging me a tenner I want at least a stand. TBF they had a scoreboard
Mick Neville had no stand or scoreboard the last day.
Neither game had linesmen
