Hurling 2024

[The Premierview Podcast]

It seems a bit silly by Clare to agree to Limerick as the venue. They should have played it in Cork. Big new stadium with no big games being played there.

Maybe they decided that rather than drive passed the Gaelic grounds and another 50 odd mile to Cork, they'd do their fans a favour and play it at the closest venue. Limerick fans would be coming in on the same road to Cork city.

Ballsy enough move but evidently Thurles not available..

Thurles was available to hold it, I don't know where you got that from

Clare CB wanted Thurles
Limerick CB wanted Cork

as per the statement issued by the Munster Council

Clare requested extra time on Monday night to consult and agreed to the Gaelic Grounds on Tuesday morning

Probably the logical choice as you'd have both sets of fans going down the n20 and Charleville and Buttevant are choked on normal days, the road to Thurles is worse again

Good ahow by Waterford.  Bit of fight in them at least.

Good to see Dessie in where he should be.  Makes a big difference.

Tipp will be happy enough.

KK should have put Wexford to the sword. Cody's team wouldn't have let them off I'd say.  Great chance to banish Wexford, one of your rivals, from the Leinster championship for a year.

This KK team is not up to the level of Cody's finest

You dont say

Codys greatest achievement was getting that team to within 2 points of Limerick in last years All Ireland Final

Thurles not available in so much as the Munster Council knew of both teams preferences as you outlined and decided on Cork, Clare asked for another 24hours to review their options and then offered to play the game in Limerick.

50/50 ticket allocation will make it a good day out for both sets of fans, the Cork County Board losing out on a payout won't go down well.

West Clare is football. East Clare is hurling.

That will be news to the likes of Ballyea then

Aye

and when you make sweeping generalisations that display your lack of actual knowledge

Expect to get pulled up on them

I like this statement of intent from Clare.

Not only is it looking after their fan base to ensure they will get as much support there as possible, while saving them time and money. It is also a really positive psychological outlook for the team, they don't care where it is played they are ready to go.

Don't get me wrong it could back fire on them but definitely have to give it to them, it is ballsy.

2006 was the last time a team played their opponents at home in a Munster final and won

The last 4/ 5 off the top of my head have all be won by the home team

Reminds me of a story a few years ago, BC1 might know more about this.

The Athletic Grounds were closed at the time and county matches and championship finals were been played in Crossmaglen. Dromintee complained at the county board meeting about Cross having home advantage for the county final. The Cross delegate stood up and said I'll tell you what we'll play it in Dromintee. Last time there was ever a discussion about venues.

Are you saying Clare went off and decided to do a deal with Limerick in holding it in the Gaelic Grounds even after telling the Munster Council they preferred Thurles and the Munster Council not having decided where it was going?

Doesn't make any sense to do that from a Clare perspective.

Munster Senior Hurling Final Venue Confirmed

Following a meeting today of the CCC of the Munster Council, it has been agreed that the Munster Senior Hurling Championship Final between Clare and Limerick will take place at the TUS Gaelic Grounds in Limerick on Sunday June 11th at 1:45 pm.

This decision follows a request from Clare to the Munster Council CCC on Monday evening of May 29th to postpone making a decision on the venue to allow Clare time to explore the possibility of playing the game at the TUS Gaelic Grounds in Limerick. Earlier, Clare had proposed Semple Stadium, while Limerick had proposed Páirc Uí Chaoimh. The Munster Council CCC agreed to postpone making their decision, and today Clare and Limerick have confirmed that they had reached agreement to play the game at the TUS Gaelic Grounds.

The 1:45 pm throw in time is to facilitate live TV and the possibility of extra time. The Leinster Final throws in at 4 pm.

Stand tickets will be distributed through participating County Boards only, while terrace tickets will be going on sale to the general public on Thursday June 1st at 12 Noon

END OF STATEMENT

No, Clare and Limerick reached an agreement, obviously needed ratified by the Munster Council, but sure it's all done and dusted now!

You do realise it's up to the Munster Council to decide when and where games within the province are to be played


It's amazing that some lad from Down knew that Thurles was unavailable

Even though Clare looked for it and it was available to host

And then knows all about the contents of "the deal" struck between Clare and Limerick,

And then knows the inner workings of the Munster Council

Remarkable

Jonny in Down will have the same view of the Munster final as you and everyone else from Tipp, from the living room sofa. Maybe your not as ignorant via the audio platform, who knows.
