Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[Under Lights]

I bloody forgot about relegation/promotion playoffs LOL
Could be a lengthy lay off for some teams while championship finishes.

I'd say the solution will be change the Sunday double header to Thursday Night in Omagh 7pm and 8.30pm

Change Owen Roes and Fintona to Saturday.

Simples

Fintona have a golf function on Saturday that they're running in conjuction with the Michaela Foundation

Garvaghy could hold that game on Friday evening?

So its okay to shaft Junior clubs again by being expected to move Garvaghy? Why can't Omagh/Ardboe go there?
Obviously Garvaghy wouldn't be able to hold it due to support and the thought of it being played there is crazy but my point is, no club should be expected to play a championship game in Garvaghy. That's not what it was built for. The Derg & Derrylaughan game should never have been played there!

The CCC are obviously  trying to get it wrapped up as best possible to avoid the situation where clubs are playing promotion/relegation playoffs in november after a lengthly period of time off. Id expect D1 & D2 relegation playoffs to be played the weekend 30th Sept if both Eskra & Greencastle are beaten this weekend. Junior football also has 2 rounds of fixtures to fit in to determine home playoffs etc. And i'd expect the first one of those rounds to be played the weekend of 30th Sept. Id say due to a vast number of complaints in previous years the CCC want those play offs played before November unlike the previous few years. Therefore cant see these fixtures being changed... However it does lead to a lot more problems for the CCC in the future.

Fixtures aren't ideal but they aren't the worst either!

Not saying shaft junior clubs just trying to think of solution.

Also what happens if Omagh/Ardboe draw? this wouldn't help the fixtures and its very possible they could as they are well matched!

Instead of the winners playing Greencastle in KC on sunday the replay will be played there with the quarter final being completed the following weekend (30th Sept) in a stand alone fixture alongside Junior league fixtures and potentially some playoff ties. Leaving the winners of quarter final with a week to prepare for the semi final.

Championship Semi Finals are being played 29th Sept - 1st Oct, Finals the following weekend.

They are trying to get the championship wrapped up in time for the Ulster Club I'd say?

Those dates don't seem to accommodate a replay. Could see it extended by an extra week if there are a few draws.

[LeoMc]

Ulster Club is 28th October, so to give clubs a minimum of 2 weeks and to allow for a final replay, the finals would be scheduled for weekend of 08th October which would put the semi-finals at the 29th / 30th / 01st. That only leaves next weekend for the QF's. Any draws would be scheduled in for mid-week.
I can see the rush for Intermediate and Junior to give our representatives time to prepare but with likely Kilcoo / Slaughtneil waiting on the senior winner.....

Sure hasnt there always been a massive outcry when county champs dont get time to prepare for Ulster

[Tyrone95]

When should we expect a decision on the 'fixture gate' scandal, co.board have made a big enough fool of themselves as to give teams preparing for their biggest game of the year only a few days notice...Surely the longer it goes on it is telling us that the fixture could be remaining at the original time?

It is Tuesday morning. If it was being changed it would have been by now would it not? The circumstances surrounding this one may leave a bad taste. If it is to be swapped with another fixture then other clubs will feel aggrieved as their preparations will be upset. As the fixture has been "fixed" a change will have to be agreeable by both clubs. Errigals proposed dates will leave Carrickmore short players and indeed a member of their management team. If it was fixed for one of those dates at the time you would just get on with it but this isn't the case.

Why was all the Tyrone flags taken down before the Ladies played their All Ireland semi-final? Equality for some...

Couldn't be changed at this stage. Life is full of tough choices for people, go watch the ladies if you chose or watch the club championship.

Heard today that Dom Corrigan will leave Killyclogher

Teamtalk reporting that there will be no fixture change for Sunday.  They mustn't think the Ladies have much of a following and it wont hurt them in the pocket.  Driver, Drive On!!!!

I agree, plough on with it... However there seems to be a lot of uproar on social media following the confirmation that there will be no change.  A lot of them people outraged probably have no intention of attending either game.

That's the thing.
While I have a lot of sympathy for the small number of people this will directly affect, there are far more that just to be outraged and have a reason to give out.
