I'm assuming it's 2 separate gates then judging by the time differences

[geezer]

Money racket as usual with the county board.

I'm for a derry double header on Saturday evening
8 quid for 2 senior matches - these will likely be 8 each, maybe more for the senior match as the 1/4 final was 8

Noticed they've done the same for the hurling semis on Sunday, 1 and 5 at Dunsilly, id have went to this if was a double header 2 and 4 or something, clearly trying to get the ££££££ up make sure everyone cleared out before the 2nd game. id say even if it was £12 for a double header lot of people would have took in both games.

There no chance people will wait about from about 12.30 to possibly 6.30, used to be great going to a double header in championship

Yeah thats what im saying, they are actively discouraging people from going to both games, you'd look past the time between the games if Dif venues and trying to allow people time to get between them.

Not sure Dunsilly has the facilities or space around the ground to deal with the crowd at a Double header?

[Would ye whist]

Play one at Dunsilly and then maybe one at Whitehill or somewhere

Get more neutrals if they charged say a tenner for double header
No neutral is going to spend 16+ quid and the guts of 6 hours at dunsilly

[country bumpkin]

So not having had a fixture for weeks in u-20 league Cargin are fixed to travel to Musgrave for a 6.15 pm throw in...

Who is paying for the helicopter....?

[Jeepers Creepers]

The same boy who pays the manager, perhaps?

He hits it out of the park!!

[paddyjohn]

Plenty of good club men would sponsor it also I'm sure.

Speedy recovery to Michael Armstrong who done his ACL on Sunday past. Huge loss for Rossa

I'm sure CCC (competition control committee) looked at various options for single or double headers with logistics.

Dunsilly turning into a superb venue (lighting and scoreboard since last year) but would struggle from holding a double header for various reasons. Stewarding of a match could take up to 4 hours for St Comghalls club volunteers, throw in an extra match and this could be 7 or 8 hours!

Parking - it's a tight venue to get cars in and out and many attending first game will want to leave and this would clash with cars arriving early for those only interested in second game. That would be a nightmare!

Dressing rooms - there's only 4 small rooms, two per team. Teams can arrive an hour before and still be there an hour after games.

You only need to think things through a bit more to see things a bit more clearly.
