Gaels to get compensated for sitting on wet paint in the stands

[theticklemister]

The Galway County Board has apologised and committed to reimburse spectators who were affected by wet paint at last weekend's Galway football semi-finals at Tuam Stadium.

The Connacht Tribune reported that at least 25 spectators sat on wooden seats in the stand that had been freshly painted. However the paint had not yet dried, and the fans were left with red paint on their clothes and much unhappiness when the issue came to light.

The oil-based paint had failed to dry in the expected time-frame leaving Galway County Board red faced.

The county board had remained tight-lipped on the issue until this weekend; however, sources have revealed the board have now confirmed they will issue compensation.

A bottle of Paint thinners each.

I'd say it really took the gloss off the day for those affected.

Definitely a sticky situation.

Lads, in the scheme of tins, it doesn't really matt-er.

I'd say emulsions were running high when the jeans got ruined. Won't brush that one under the carpet.

Just roll with it.

An attempt at a cover up?

This paints the Galway CB in a very bad picture,  not one they can sit on...

[AZOffaly]

Why is the paint red by the way? Galway are maroon. Could they not afford a nice shade of maroon for the seats?

[orangeman]

The decorators could get a real flaking for this.

But I suppose the patrons will have to take the rough with the smooth.

Any enquiry will be a whitewash

No doubt - it will be all thinned and watered down.

Could they not have primed the patrons before letting them sit down ?.
