Armagh Vs Dorty Dubs

[holylandsniper]

Did i read correctly in yesterdays paper that the GAA are going to punish county boards who cannot host a game to poor ground & facilities, in the wake of the recent cancellation of number of national league games

Maybe this will push Armagh and another few county boards who have no proper county ground into sorting out their problems
Also what punishment is there for a referee who turns up to wrong pitch, and also the one who costs teams valuable points/wins

[fcuksake]

Say Armagh have 7000 tickets for the Game, and the dubs 2000, wot happens if more members than tickets are looking to attend now that they're FREE..

What procedure will clubs follow to ensure all full members get tickets...

for example say the Harps get 150tickets and they have 400 football members, and 200 turn up looking tickets, what happens next?

Ebay might have 1 day postings i suspect with no postage - pick up only

It'll have to be first come first served I'd say, nothing much else that can be done.

Probably done in the same manner as All-Irelands etc, names from a hat, I doubt demand will be that extreme.

If it does happen to sell out, many who paid in and are not associated with clubs, will miss out.

One thing for certain I noticed as I sat in the stand for an hour awaiting my drive home, Dublin brought some amazing looking women!

[Throw ball]

The problems I can see with free tickets for the next day are:-

1. Many children will miss out.
2. Many who paid in the last day may also miss out.
3. There will be those who take up the ticket because it is free but wake up on the Sunday morning with a hangover or see a spot of rain and decide not to bother thus depriving others of a ticket.
4. We may get more of the 'buckfast bricade' who think it will be a good day out!

Although laudable to offer free tickets it may have made more sense to have a nominal charge of say a fiver to try ensure genuine supporters get a ticket. Alternatively they could have transfered the match to Clones: afterall Armagh wanted that last year v Donegal so that more supporters could see the game! (I know this was never an option)

Yeah, but the difference is that this is a home game, so from that point of view, they'd be in a better position to move it to Clones.  But they're not going to move it, as they'll actually lose money by doing this as it'd be a free gate and they'd have to pay some of the last day's takings over to Monaghan County Board for the use of Clones.

I think this refixed game could cause all sorts of problems with large numbers turning up just because it's free. Maybe it should be moved to a ground with a larger capacity on safety grounds. What about Navan or Newry if you don't fancy Clones.

It is all ticket.

Crossmaglen Rangers had a meeting last night and the prices for the day are as follows :


Admission to Social Club : £ 5 or € 10

Please note that no statisticians or video analysis people will be allowed near the sidelines - a temporary sin bin will be in place for the day and all sinning Dub fans can attend confession before, during and after the game. A plenary indulgence for all the lost Sam Maguires of the past few years can be obtained by attending confession on this day. Cost of confession is minimum € 10

Is that a flat fee? What if some of us have sinned more than others?
