Another case of the tail wagging the dog.
Fellas should be embracing the novelty of the occasion, sending the fans off to provincial grounds helps keep things fresh. OâMoore Park would have been another good option for this if Semple wasnât available, would have been a sell-out as well probably.
Lads, would ye come up the road and play it in OâMoore Park to be fucked.
Could the cork lads confirm if the marina market is still open?
Match day tickets for the National Hurling League Final will go on sale via ticketmaster and usual ticket outlets at noon today.
Tickets will be reserved - Each Ticket numbered.
Charge for Childrenâs ticket will apply also.
People like to give out, wherever and whenever it was fixed youâd have griping.
Thurles on a Saturday night at 7pm was the obvious one but Cork isnât exactly Belfast either. 2pm on an Easter Sunday in probably the best ground in the country outside Croke Park, with most people off work the next day. If you want to go, youâll go - if you donât, nobody is forcing you.
Itâs a cost of living crisis, a lot of families in particular will be holding their powder until the championship matches. A lot more picking and choosing than in years gone by, if you have a husband, wife and couple of kids itâs an expensive day out. Then multiply that x4 for the Munster group stage. Plus a possible Munster final. Plus a possible quarter final. Plus a possible AI semi final. Plus a possible AI final.
Poor aul Limerick, having to travel 90 minutes to play in a National Final. Boo hoo.
It is open.
I had a lovely stroll down the marina yesterday prior to the minor game.
Feile Football is refixed for the 16th. Youâll have a lot of aggrevated parents over that.
Missing Limerick in a league final for FUCKING FOOTBALL.
Edit: Scratch that. The football is the 16th.
Feile hurling group games are on Easter Saturday. Do they intend playing the semis & finals in MNP the following morning as they usually do?
Thanks. Weâll set off a bit earlier then to indulge pre game
Pretty sure they are on Easter Monday
Cork is a great choice. Well done all.
Lads would just need to be careful not to get caught speeding on the motorway.
Really enjoyed last nightâs game, hoping this one is of similar quality.
Limerick will probably need to up it a level from last week but I do think they are well capable of doing that.
Very sloppy stuff from the 20s so far.
Very poor
Whoâd have thought running this once noble competition off on damp, miserable nights in March would lead to sloppy, poor quality games.
Patrick OâDonovan is a great bit of stuff.
Ethan Hurley more prominent tonight.
