Kildare v Mayo AI Qualifier Round 3

[Rossfan]

This is, to all intents and purposes, a home game for Mayo now.
The Kildare county board deserve an almighty kick up the hole.

They brought it on themselves by relying on Croke Park as a quasi-home ground for years and leaving Newbridge to rot. Very easy decision for HQ to make when Newbridge wasn't fit for purpose.

f**k up clown, no more a shit hole that Hyde Park.

Hyde can accommodate 28,000 , restricted by Licansonhis to 18,870.
Newbridge about 12 and seemingly 6k.
Just because Syf is a gobdaw don't lose all sense of reality.
I presume KCB still in hock to HQ?

f**k up clown, no more a shit hole that Hyde Park.

The Hyde even in its current state can host 18,800, some 12,000 more than Newbridge can. We could accommodate season ticket holders very easily for this sort of game.

It's rotten you've lost home advantage but how long did you really think you could get away with such a tiny home ground for without this happening? Ye built a fancy CoE in Hawkfield in recent years so you made your own bed on this front.

[Dinny Breen]

If ever there was a time for everyone's favourite Kildare arsehole to make some noise it's now. Ewan now is your opportunity and surely Athy's Ger Gilroy and Celbridge's Joe Molloy will give him plenty of airtime.

I'd say Kildare would have nearly preferred it in Castlebar than CP.

[Rossie11]

That's shite on Kildare.
They get drawn first and end up with worst possible scenario
So what if 6k tickets would sell out in 10mins.
It would be on TV and anyone who wanted to see it could see it.
Kildare would have been better off if Mayo came out 1st as Mayo's record in Croker recently is better than in Castlebar

Get up on the roof and turn on the Ewan signal, Dinny!
Because he's the hero Kildare deserves, but not the one it needs right now, so we'll hunt him.
Because he can take it, because he's not a hero.
He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector, a Dark Knight.

Ironically, Mayo wouldn't. We've a shocking home record.

Someday you are going fall off that horse and break your neck. And nobody will be there to pick you up. Btw that just makes Hyde park a 18800 capacity shit-hole, and with the amount of shit you spew it's still not big enough.

Tommy Callaghan reporting that KCB have not agreed to moving it.

Knowing the KCB that sounds like optics.

[Bord na Mona man]

Would have thought the home team gets to nominate the alternative venue.
There is a precedent already.

There's not much of a height to fall from when you're right.

The Hyde hosted a senior provincial final eight days ago, by the way, and four of the last seven Connacht finals. When's the last one Kildare hosted? You seem irrationally angry about this as if it's a total injustice - the reality is Kildare's planning and reliance on Croke Park as a home venue for years is at the root of this decision.

If the likes of Roscommon or Cavan or Monaghan with tiny populations can have grounds capable of hosting 20k crowds what excuse does one of the richest regions in Ireland have for having a glorified club ground as its home?

Kildare basically made the bet that their money was better spent elsewhere, well this is the downside of that decision.

Perhaps but where does that leave Cavan? Was the decision made for them by CP, if so it's possible Kildare were told how it was going to be also. Won't be 30k at it and you'll probably be able to hear the players on the field.

Those capacity reductions are just ridiculous though, cutting so many venues down unnecessarily. Conveniently so on occasions like this.

[highorlow]

I don't know. I think the Kildare lads will prefer Croke Park. They did alright against the Dubs last year and were a goal miss away early in the 2 nd half to really putting pressure on them.

Hot day will suit the young Kildare team.

With our midfield gone and now a gripe to drive Kildare I think we are there for the taking.
