Surely Galway won't play both games in Pearse stadium next Saturday?

Hoping they move the football to Tuam.

I'd say there's every chance they will. Last round of the league in 2017 against Kildare was a double header in Salthill with the hurlers league Q-final against Waterford.
Throw in time for the football would have to change to accommodate that obviously.

Two games, with the crowd going across the city on a Saturday afternoon

Vice chair of Roscommon GAA just tweeted that it'll be a double header in Pearse on Saturday with the football on second at 3.30pm. 1.30pm throw in for the hurling.
I would have much preferred the football to be on first being honest.

I believe it's now confirmed.
Bolx anyway....doesn't suit at all.

The problem with playing the football first is that the ground will be every cut up and not suited for hurling. Whereas football can be played on a cut up pitch as it doesn't involved playing the ball along the ground, hurling depends very much on conditions underfoot. At least that's what I was told when I asked a few men who know more about hurling than I do.

Could be a lot later than 3:30 for the football match if that Hurling game goes to extra time. Wasn't Monday free that hurling game?

Ah yeah I get the logic at this time of year, the Cavan match was on second after the hurlers played Laois in the previous double header this year so not surprised at all, it just would have personally suited me if the throw in times were swapped!

The following points need to be considered.
* If the match was fixed for monday, you would be asking stewards to give up two days, also security staff would have to be paid for two days.
* It would be unfair to switch the football to tuam as it had been advertised for salthill
* Club matches have been fixed for monday.

With galway v wexford live on tg4 and the rugby Ireland v Wales at 2.45 it willl be hurling season ticket holders that will be in pearse stadium, so can see a mass exodus after the hurling,the rossies will have the place to themselves!!

We are true Gaels.
Wont disagree on that,don't think even if it was tuam for the football would the galway crowd travel.
