Tomsmith here from Cavan In the times of austerity would it be an idea that the Gaa in each County would identify filling Stations that are Gaa friendly. This contact could be used for travellers filling up the motor car and also get food at a reduced rate going or coming from Gaa games. In order that its not abused or that too much Hawking is not done Gaa people should be asked to produced their e Ticket . Possibly some other safegiuards could be imposed tomsmith (Cavan) - Posts: 4011 - 23/01/2023 21:14:26 2453818 Link
Tomsmith here The Spar filling Station and small eats place Drunconan Belturbet on the N3 A 509 close to the Woodford River or near Aughalane Bridge whenopen is a wonderful place for people travelling North or North people travelling South. It was cheap and not to stingy if you hadent the full money on you . tomsmith (Cavan) - Posts: 4011 - 24/01/2023 11:01:02 2453875 Link
Quality trolling as always. My first thought is always to ask if a filling station is GAA friendly abd which club they support. Rolo2010 (Donegal) - Posts: 746 - 24/01/2023 14:47:15 2453978 Link

Ill be snapped at for saying what I am going to say I suppose but , if you can afford to give 25/30/40 quid into a match week in week out, putting a drop of fuel in the car to get there is hardly an issue, most people think of the price of the tickets first and then the cost of getting there and the associated costs with such a day out, each to their own, if its down to bringing a flask and sandwiches personally Ide stay at home if you wont go in and buy a wrap or a roll or a snack and a cup of tea. Again each to their own, cheap fuel for supporters is a bit of an ask now in all fairness... Fairplayalways (Offaly) - Posts: 1037 - 25/01/2023 14:43:33 2454212 Link

Naw Naw what I was saying was that if Gaa supporter friendly eating houses and filling Stations were identified it would be to everyones advantage. Take your own County travellind to say Cork. If it was known along the route that a Gaa house was offering aDiinner or Bap rioll for travelling supporters for say E5. sure everyone going in that direction to the game would call. One could fill up the car with fuel and if it was ones week to buy the Sunday paper ( Paper swap still takes place here) you could buy the paper. So I would be very much in favour of the County Board in each County identifying Gaa friendly eating Houses and filling Stations tomsmith (Cavan) - Posts: 4011 - 25/01/2023 16:32:08 2454245 Link

Many people globally do things/use things they think are not great and need improvement as it will never improve if you stay quiet and dont look for change KillingFields (Limerick) - Posts: 3735 - 25/01/2023 17:20:00 2454259 Link

Sorry Tom, old Ireland is gone for ever. Soon you'll be served by robots who couldn't give a *** about the GAA :D realdub (Dublin)** - Posts: 8706 - 25/01/2023 20:49:54 2454313 Link
Presumably the filling stations where you can also buy match tickets are GAA friendly friedporridge (Leitrim) - Posts: 23 - 26/01/2023 08:42:54 2454333 Link

Replying To KillingFields: "These threads are embarrassing How do so many come up on this site. Joke!" KillingFields, you are correct, I have been posting here for a lot of years and mostly with great sincerity, with a bit of sarcasm a bit of statistical stuff but with respect to the forum and all inclusive, some of my posts have been by enlarge ignored by the forum and by the way that suits me for a variety of reasons, but what I cant get my head around is how some nonsensical, embarrassing posts like the post in question can capture the the imagination of some wanna be so called intelligent posters here. This embarrassing post as a previous poster referred to it as, has already clocked up 14 replies at speed. Trolling is not the problem here as some think it is rather it's embarrassing posts etc, etc. supersub15 (Carlow) - Posts: 3128 - 26/01/2023 10:19:44 2454350 Link
