Replying To CillTormoir:  "Some waffle on here. Playing clubs most important game of the year under lights is hands down the most shocking decision I've seen in a long time in Galway GAA. And I've seen a right bit."
As shocking as spending €2.8m on a piece of land, doing nothing with it and selling it at a massive loss over 10 years later, the whole deal costing Galway over €3m with interest payments included?
If you think playing a game in floodlights in 2025 is shocking, god help you when you read about an actual scandal.
Plenty counties play big games under lights. The quality of the lights in Pearse Stadium is very good.
We beat Clare in the league earlier this year under the same lights and the players managed absolutely fine.

An old league game with fringe players is a million miles away in terms of importance from a county semi-final.

Replying To TanCanRan:  "A better solution is if you're so concerned about sitting down and having a toilet beside you, the best solution would be to stream the games."
Will be 'streaming' at the games now too, based on current weather projections. 10mils in 20mph winds for the big Loughrea Turlough clash. Thunder and lightening not mentioned.

Dreadful weather promised Saturday night.
Hurling under lights in the pouring rain
What a way to promote hurling.
Are we mad?

The split season, which Galway has so adamantly supported was supposed, to increase the chances of playing games in better conditions.
Nothing has improved
