[inthrough]

The great one speaks

Dear god, that logic is just bizarre. How many ticketless people do they expect to turn up to the turnstiles without tickets to get into a round 3 qualifier match, 6,000?

Trying to justify the decision on health and safety grounds is bulls**t. Will there be a crush at the turnstiles or crowd riots outside as the angry masses flock to Newbridge.

The argument that they want to allow as many people see the game as possible is also a fallacy since it is being shown live on Sky which prevents thousands from seeing the match on tv anyway. They have badly misjudged the public's mood on this and all of these bureaucrats coming out and doubling down on the original decision just shows how much they are out of touch.

Where does he get thi notion that thousands are going to riot in Newbridge or even turn up for that matter. Thousands are disappointed each year when they can't get All Ireland final tickets & there are no problems at the ground on the day.

As a mark of support can we all start flying Kildare flags at games from now on. It would be far more relevant that some of the flags that are flying.  I would love to see some fella being arrested for carrying one

Joxer goes to Newbridge.

So thus far we've had McGill, Quinn and Prenty making the situation progressively worse.
Where the hell is Tom Ryan?
If he's trying to act as an honest broker behind the scenes, fair enough, but the media response in general has been embarrassing.

Carry On Crisis Managing

It's interesting how Cavan, and by extension Tyrone, have reacted quite happily to their game being moved to Croke Park.
I don't think people outside Leinster understand that plenty of us are sick of the sight of it and all it has come to represent in recent years.

You are being paraphrased on Twitter Jinxy. You've made it boy, you've made it, proud day for the parish.

No surrender

Being from Meath I would say you would have to drop the intellectual part if you went to court!

Perhaps the GAA's line about potential hooliganism in Newbridge came from a simple misunderstanding when somebody made a throwaway comment about Mayo being a shower of bottlers?

[Jinxy]

While we're on the subject of Twitter, somebody made an interesting point on it earlier, although we may be getting into conspiracy-theory territory a bit.
Cavan can't play at home because of the pitch upgrade and they're drawn at home.
Kildare can play at home (in the CCCs eyes) unless they are drawn against a team with a big travelling support and they are drawn at home against Mayo.
Now, we suddenly have a double-header in Croke Park, which would otherwise be empty this weekend.
Coincidence?

I for one am going to burn Newbridge to the ground if I'm ever forced to set foot in it

There'll be rivers of blood that'll make the battle of Kilcullen look like a tea party

Does Jim Corr have any thoughts on who we should play midfield? 🤔

Something was said, not good...

[Solo_run]

BS excuse by the CCCC. It is simple - 8,000 are allowed in and the rest are not.

It is quite simple really, you don't have a ticket then you do not get in.

Unfortunately it would seem that if Kildare continue with this course of action we will not be seeing them in action again next season. I would be nice to see Mayo back up the little man and call out the GAA on their constant bullshit. It isn't just about attending games but everything else that goes on with it - but that isn't going to happen.
