A double header in parc i caoimhe will be un fair to everyone inc Cork! fathermurphy (Wexford) - Posts: 314 - 10/07/2017 09:05:10 2013667 Link
A double header would be madness. Sensible option would be clare v tipp in limerick and wex v wat in cork but who knows. Unfortunately I think nowlan park would be too small for wex v wat. If that is the case that's just under 30k so I'm assuming tipp and clare would bring more than 15k anyway is Cork has 45k capacity. Just a point someone mentioned to me lately. Double headers aren't all they're cracked up to be and can kill a crowd at times as have the attendance aren't that into one of the games. 1798man (Wexford) - Posts: 164 - 10/07/2017 09:13:07 2013676 Link
I think they will be both in cork but one on Saturday and the other on Sunday if they insist on pairc ui chaoimh getting these games. Well that would be the most sensible thing to in my opinion but that doesn't mean the power that be will follow suit tearintom (Wexford) - Posts: 1325 - 10/07/2017 09:29:30 2013693 Link
i wont be there for either as working that weekend,but surely thurles for wexford waterford,and cork for tipp clare,makes sense? perfect10 (Wexford) - Posts: 3929 - 10/07/2017 10:14:20 2013763 Link
Tipperary v Clare makes sense to be in Limerick. Waterford v Wexford in Cork if ready but I'd say Thurles if not. WildPundit (Tipperary) - Posts: 1709 - 10/07/2017 10:36:05 2013792 Link
I'd be very surprised if Tipp-Clare isn't in Limerick tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 10/07/2017 11:37:33 2013857 Link
Double header in Thurles, just can't see the problem.... therealtmo (Tipperary) - Posts: 1292 - 10/07/2017 12:08:10 2013897 Link
It's just mad that yet again we don't know where these matches will be played. PuC is either ready or it's not. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 10/07/2017 13:11:13 2013974 Link
Replying To Killarney.87: "It's just mad that yet again we don't know where these matches will be played. PuC is either ready or it's not." They were waiting to see if cork were playing or not....and who will be playing...makes sence to me... fathermurphy (Wexford) - Posts: 314 - 10/07/2017 13:34:14 2014016 Link
Replying To therealtmo: "Double header in Thurles, just can't see the problem...." would you play clare in ennis so? perfect10 (Wexford) - Posts: 3929 - 10/07/2017 13:37:44 2014022 Link
Replying To therealtmo: "Double header in Thurles, just can't see the problem...." Defo agree its pretty neutral venue to me!!! It's not exactly Tipp's home pitch Clare play there more often than we do!!! WildPundit (Tipperary) - Posts: 1709 - 10/07/2017 13:39:52 2014025 Link
Replying To fathermurphy: "They were waiting to see if cork were playing or not....and who will be playing...makes sence to me..." Makes sense up to 6 pm on Sunday evening. By this morning it should be straightforward. If PuC is ready then have it there if, if not then find other venues. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 10/07/2017 14:07:29 2014067 Link
Thurles double header on the sunday would suit everyone... fathermurphy (Wexford) - Posts: 314 - 10/07/2017 14:09:12 2014071 Link
Replying To WildPundit: "Defo agree its pretty neutral venue to me!!! It's not exactly Tipp's home pitch Clare play there more often than we do!!!" Do you want the semi final and final to be played in Thurles too so Tipp don't have to travel to any match?? :) Pinkie (Wexford) - Posts: 4100 - 10/07/2017 14:26:38 2014099 Link
Any form of double header will make tickets a nightmare. Wexford and Waterford will easily bring well over 30k as we're both on a reasonable high. Make one of the minor matches as a warm up to stagger the crowds would be my suggestion. As for tipp and clate I've no idea what their support levels are like this year but you'd imagine they'd sell more 20k meaning which would bring a double header over thurles capacity. Again a minor match could be used to bolster attendance while especially if in cork neutral supports would help get a second 30k plus crowd. 1798man (Wexford) - Posts: 164 - 10/07/2017 14:38:37 2014111 Link
Replying To fathermurphy: "Thurles double header on the sunday would suit everyone..." It wont suit when the supporters from four counties start looking for tickets lochgarmanabu (Wexford) - Posts: 1020 - 10/07/2017 14:40:06 2014115 Link
tipp v clare should be in limerick - put it as double header with cork v mayo football (fixed for limerick) very unfair to get tipp and clare fans to travel to cork when limerick is closer janesboro (Limerick) - Posts: 1502 - 10/07/2017 14:53:03 2014132 Link
Replying To janesboro: "tipp v clare should be in limerick - put it as double header with cork v mayo football (fixed for limerick) very unfair to get tipp and clare fans to travel to cork when limerick is closer" I agree but have a feeling the football we be used as an excuse for not bringing the hurling there. Ie give limerick a biggish game that should get a reasonable crowd to keep them happy and play hurling elsewhere. 1798man (Wexford) - Posts: 164 - 10/07/2017 15:04:06 2014153 Link
