There's a storm coming but has anyone told the GAA? Red and orange warnings throughout the country tomorrow and yet 7 games are down to go ahead. Wouldn't it just make sense to carry these games over to Sunday or are we burying our heads in the sand for another weekend? mayotyroneman (Tyrone) - Posts: 1821 - 28/02/2020 21:22:26 2270749 Link
Tyrone U 14 and minors has been called off. Was chatting to a Tyrone lad I know and says the plan at the moment is for the game to go ahead in Healy. I suspect there will be a pitch inspection and that given snow is forecast in Omagh. Anyhow strong team just named by the Dubs, so looks like we're planning away for the game to be played!

Right so, sure we'll just all hold off until then. catch22 (USA) - Posts: 2148 - 28/02/2020 22:15:15 2270761 Link

If the Dubs are planning for it, it'll go ahead. They'd be the first to know if it were called off. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5016 - 29/02/2020 00:01:49 2270775 Link

Actually you know what it will be...believe it or not we do have modern weather forecasting in Ireland..the storm will have blown over by then and no risk to anyone travelling on Sunday. mayotyroneman (Tyrone) - Posts: 1821 - 29/02/2020 00:16:39 2270776 Link

Oh really, I didn't know our modern weather forecast could foretell pitch conditions the day after a storm. catch22 (USA) - Posts: 2148 - 29/02/2020 09:43:44 2270795 Link

Wish us luck as we'll have to drive through 2 of these red warning counties during the red warning but sure its all part of the adventure, Gotta love the ould gaa.

Replying To catch22: "Oh really, I didn't know our modern weather forecast could foretell pitch conditions the day after a storm." The issue i raised is not put pitch conditions .it is supporters having to travel to a game and safety at that game...at least sense has been seen in castlebar and the game is postponed till tomorrow. If the pitch us not playable tomorrow at least supporters safety has not been compromised. mayotyroneman (Tyrone) - Posts: 1821 - 29/02/2020 10:44:35 2270806 Link
I was wondering ...... what happened to Storms Aoife and Brendan this year ? Why did we start with Ciara ? lionofludesch (Down) - Posts: 475 - 29/02/2020 11:26:18 2270810 Link
Can't believe Healy Park could absorb all the rainfall but this maybe the last game at Omagh for a while. Byanthon (Tyrone) - Posts: 1780 - 29/02/2020 11:48:54 2270814 Link

Replying To Byanthon: "Can't believe Healy Park could absorb all the rainfall but this maybe the last game at Omagh for a while." Could ye take them to Edendork? I can't remember if there were floodlights there or not. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 29/02/2020 13:26:24 2270833 Link
Replying To lionofludesch: "I was wondering ...... what happened to Storms Aoife and Brendan this year ? Why did we start with Ciara ?" They give them names when they appear like forming. Brendan became a storm, Aoife didn't...or if it did it blew over before reaching land PoolSturgeon (Galway) - Posts: 1904 - 29/02/2020 14:23:01 2270845 Link

Healy Park is consistently the most water-logged pitch in the county. Whoever did that surface ought to be sued. Far better surfaces at other clubs in the county, although they doing have the stands. essmac (Tyrone) - Posts: 1141 - 29/02/2020 19:09:20 2270908 Link
