Kildare v Mayo AI Qualifier Round 3

[Maroon Manc]

Should be in newbridge.

I agree but they've already set the tone with moving Dublin's games the last few years.

[Dinny Breen]

Dublin get treated differently to everyone else. That's also the Leinster Council.

This has nothing to do with the match next weekend.

[rosnarun]

Why would Kildare care about any of that?
They're trying to win the game.

so every one who wants to see the game can go,
Maybe generate a bit of cash so people don't have to pay to sit in an unsafe  dump, !st person in the ground will have a shit view

Dry your tears. You sound like a Dublin supporter.

Uh,  this is a round three qualifier between two sides who were dumped out of their provinces at the quarter-final stage..

Yes one in which Kildare were drawn out first. Hence home advantage.

Yes but it can't be played in a bigger stadium - that's the biggest there is.

[sid waddell]

This is the exact sort of game that should be played at a home venue, ie. Newbridge.

Playing it at a home venue by definition makes it a big event - it creates the narrative - Mayo going into the bear pit of Newbridge on a hot Saturday evening - it makes it a sell-out with a smashing atmosphere, it makes more people want tickets because they know it will be a sell-out with a smashing atmosphere, it creates a buzz in the media, it makes it a game that everybody wants to see.

Same as Wicklow v Dublin would have been had it been in Aughrim.

By moving it to Portlaoise or Tullamore, it becomes just another qualifier, it won't sell-out, and there isn't the same narrative or general interest.

Well said Sid, make the game bigger than it is, not smaller...

You don't get home advantage if your home ground isn't adequate to host the game..

Of course it's adequate. It has a limited capacity, same as Hyde Park for the Connacht final. It's not rocket science.

You really don't understand irony do you?
