GAA Response to Coronavirus

[Taylor]

Still no word on this weekends fixtures in the North.

Looks like there wont be crowds at any games for one game at least

[Farrandeelin]

The 500 crowds that was expected to be allowed for club games this Monday is now look to be getting pushed back to August 10th.

Only 200 allowed in attendance for now and that will include players, management and officials.

How are they going to enforce that? Are they really going to have a person on the gate turning people away?

At the minute supporters cannot watch a match in Crossmaglen but watch a match in Sheelagh. The GAA in the North is being left behind by a so called all Ireland organisation. I have not seen or heard any of or MLA's bemoan the fact that this injustice is happening.

So to ensure equality the Clubs in the South should have zero spectators too?

Stormont are meeting on this on Friday anyway.

Are you sure? Hope you're right but I heard that they weren't meeting again until the 20th.

Gates/turnstiles closed. Only the 100 spectators with tickets bought in advance get let in.
I believe we already have a sell out for a Ros hurling Championship match this weekend

I don't think I said that?

I doubt if the GAA or sport is top of the agenda in Stormont or Executive.

It's not top. But it'll be pretty high up.

As much as public and private Gyms are also allowed to open but not those on the GAA's premises...

Strange that the clubs in the North weren't allowed leeway on this considering the local legislation allows for it.

Go on father, go on. Lock the gates to God's house. Sure they were locked at the time of the Famine too. No priest died the time of the Famine: only poor people like us.
