Generator was the problem apparently, bit embarrassing to be honest given the huge investment in them.

42

A good showing no doubt but as you say hard gauge anything really. I thought we looked good going forward and took some nice scores. We worked the 1st goal very well.

43

Very embarrassing, the lights and i presume generator are only a year old. All this should have been checked out a few hours before throw in.

44

These things happen unfortunately…shouldnt there be some sort of redundancy or back up system

45

You want a second genny?

46

a working one would be preferable.

47

The CEO is on it I’d say.

48

CEO has checked out.

49

Looks like block of hurling then football is gone, proposal to change football to 8 team grades which I’d imagine will get plenty of resistance, not sure on league winners getting an additional point for championship seems a bit unfair as Intercounty effects some clubs worse than others.

50

Same generator that went up in smoke vs Galway.

51

@Bandage called out those ‘Qatari style’ lights from the start to be fair.

52

@Bandage snr did tbf.

53

There’s 4 national league games due under lights in Feb so can’t fall back on Ferns for those, well the 2 hurling games for certain anyway.

54

They may get on it. Load of shite that people have to travel half an hour away for a match at the click of fingers.

55

I’d say the main reason for that was to avoid having Wicklow travel down 2 nights in a row especially players having to leave work early. Ferns was a shorter drive home for them too.

56

I agree, but still not right on supporters. Was either that or give up points I guess.

57

Absolutely, whole thing was embarrassing to be honest.

58

Surely some fella with a spare genny to hire out as a back up.

Have ye tried Chadwicks?

59

Would Intermediate switch to 16 teams then or what would be the trickle down effect? It would become a minefield in any case. From last year for instance you’d have Sarsfields, Crossabeg-Ballymurn and St James joining Fethard in the Intermediate ranks already containing St Martins.

60

How many supporters were there? A midweek O’Byrne cup game between a Division 3 and 4 team on a freezing evening wouldn’t exactly be a bit crowd attraction
