Plenty of clubs where it is the same 20 lads who are keeping both sports going. Tell them to choose one or the other and games would have to be forfeited which is a disaster for both the club and the opposition. Yes soccer and rugby have regular games but almost nobody goes to watch them as the games are of little significance- in many cases they are just a warm up for the pub after. They also only have to arrange one sport not 2. If it's regular games with nothing riding on the result that's wanted why not just have challenge games? Iv never understood why clubs don't set up mini tournaments among themselves - they used to have these competitions between neighbouring clubs as part of local festivals 20 years ago and they were often fiercely contested.

I think the CPA are barking up the wrong tree and wonder wether it is a case of people liking to get their faces in front of the cameras. witnof (Dublin) - Posts: 1604 - 12/09/2017 08:40:59 2045128 Link 0 |
ask 10 people what they want re fixtures and you'll get 10 different answers so this problem isn't going to be fixed anytime soon. Not everybody wants matches every weekend, equally nobody wants to go weeks in the summer with no matches. Circumstances vary from county to county depending on size and interest in both codes. I'd like to see designated weeks where no county training took place and players were released back to clubs for training and match at the weekend, even 2 or 3. Of course that's not going to happen but the only measures that can work are ones that can be applied across all counties lillyboy (Kildare) - Posts: 429 - 12/09/2017 13:12:32 2045236 Link 0 |
Clubs should be setting upo more challenge matches na dhaving small tournaments among themselves. Doesn't seem like they are based on a lot of the complaints. uibhfhaili1986 (Offaly) - Posts: 1296 - 12/09/2017 14:02:48 2045251 Link 0 |
