The GAA set the number of season tickets, not the county boards. I am glad the game is in Newbridge and of course Kildare deserve a home venue since they were first out but tell me this, how can a county with over 220,000 and a walthy county at that have such a delapated county ground? Ive been in Kildare clubs and the facilities they have are top class. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11230 - 28/06/2018 19:47:32 2116514 Link

See my previous post and click on links, its not as if they didn't try, just got unlucky like everybody else when the 2008 crash hit.

Replying To PaudieSull1: "Would you give a rest about 'poor' Waterford.......every other county in Munster were able to host games as they had kept their stadiums in decent order, Waterford didn't due to the ineptitude of their own county board.......direct your ire towards those really to blame as it's getting boring at this stage........" You know absolutely nothing about Wateford's situation. However we have been know to send help and coaching to your county. Gratitude and support I guess is some thing that can't be expected.

A few things to clarify earlier this year the GAA blamed TV coverage for poor attendance at GAA matches even though Mayo Dublin and a few more had large attendances, nothing wrong with TV coverage but you can't have a 3rd party telling you to have a game at 5pm on Saturday or 2 and 4 pm on Sunday so they can show the games, the next idea will be 12.30 Sunday morning. 3.30pm on Sunday and 1 set time on Saturday either 5 or 7pm should be the fixture times and let TV coverage work around that, if 2 TV companies show different games at the same time so what, what's wrong with that. Concerts from what I hear Croke Park isn't available next weekend for round 4 of the qualifiers as there is a concert there that explains what I was saying Qualifiers Mayo like Tyrone and Cavan are playing roughly every weekend, most club matches are cancelled, co board try to fix League matches but club players are travelling to county games or are staying overnight and games are called off, qualifiers have ruined club football, we aren't half as bad as dual counties who try to play both codes both club and county level riverboys (Mayo) - Posts: 1389 - 29/06/2018 12:30:11 2116657 Link
Should be more Saturday night games like Limerick v Cork. Two places about an hour and a half apart with big support that don't need a 'good product' to get out and support. That's a dig at Clare supporters who come out in numbers once every decade.... PeggyShippen (Limerick) - Posts: 300 - 29/06/2018 15:23:37 2116713 Link
