GAA Response to Coronavirus

Any word on what the story will be after this weekend in the 26?

A level system 1 to 5 to be put in place by Tuesday. Counties with level 1 (low infection rate) will have little or no restrictions in place the opposite for level 5 counties.

Seems like some counties will be allowed crowds at matches others will not. Hard to see GAA HQ giving the go ahead to the championship starting next month with so much disruptions ahead but we'll see.

Back to a couple of hundred at some point soon.

Lets hope the GAA enforce it this time.

Any evidence of the GAA not enforcing it?

Ignore him. He believes we would be all be in a better place if volunteer marshals aggressively manhandled non-complying men, women and children around and out of vast open spaces. He has a detachment from reality.

I'm guessing he hasn't been involved in a club since he was a cub.

Level five counties (Dublin currently) won't be allowed to leave their county. It worth remembering many county teams have players living/working in Dublin.

[Rossfan]

If Dublin can't play it will be cancelled.
If anyone else can't it will be tough luck yer'e out.

GAA, FAI and IRFU met today to organise a united approach to Government on getting spectators back.

There it is. The GAA are different and the rules don't apply.

https://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/2020/0911/1164691-gaa-waiting-on-government-funds-to-confirm-all-irelands/RTÉ Sport understands that Croke Park has advised that a number of directives should be followed as part of the resumption of the inter-county season.

Only three collective sessions can be held per week. This includes two training sessions plus one game.

No overnight camps will be allowed during the 2020 championship.

Only 32 players can train with each county panel with 26 being allowed into the match-day environment. Players should travel to training individually unless they are members of the same household.

Eleven backroom members will be permitted to link with the squad. In addition, the county chairperson and secretary will also be allowed to be in the match-day environment.

Squads can only meet three hours before games and players will be advised to travel alone if possible.

Dressing-rooms will be used for the autumn and winter months, but time inside should be kept to a minimum. Takeaway food cartons should be provided for players' nutrition after training and games.  

The use of ice baths and swimming pools is not permitted in the lead up to or after games or sessions and, where feasible, players should shower at home.

Teams will not be allowed to stay overnight at venues unless it is 130 miles away from their native county. In such cases, single rooms should be provided.

Rapid testing procedures will be in place if a squad member tests positive and on match days there will be no team huddles or team photographs allowed.

London was holding out hope that they would be allowed to take part though it seems the two week quarantine wasn't going to be lifted by the end of October.

Some supporters might be allowed to attend matches but imagine the hassle in trying to get your hands on tickets?

The championship is a cash cow usually but this year the Government is covering costs. It is going to be very strange.in the light of autumn and winter.
