    I didn't make it as far as Walsh Park this afternoon (got as far Carrick on Suir when we found out and turned for home). There's a few friends I know that turned around aswell.

    It would be a proper sickener if it was marked as an attendable fixture even though it was never played. But that said, I think supporters who were already in the ground definitely deserve some token of apology.

    The way supporters from both Galway and Waterford were treated today was the height of pig-ignorance. I heard talk of the groundstaff feeling at 11:30 it would be playable even though the rain was not promised to stop for hours. Absolute joke.

    Today's game won't be marked as an attendable fixture because the match didn't go ahead. (

    But for the sake of Fairness and goodwill all season ticket holders in those counties affected should automatically be given an attendance credit for this game or for the refixed game.

    That would be the fair and sensible thing to do.. It doesn't cost the gaa anything to give the attendance. Otherwise I see this issue blowing up big time and being on the media later on in the week.

    The Galway hurling season ticket is sold out and they have a massive following. People at the match today were annoyed it was called off but they were furious that they couldn't get a credit or a ticket scanned at the venue after driving 3 hours from Galway in the treacherous rain. It was a joke.

    Anyone affected should contact the county secretary to canvass Croke park to apply the credits.

    Hard to know what they'll do. I already had an issue this season where I attended Carlow v Galway in Carlow and our 2 tickets were scanned but didn't register. I wasn't alone. They were having none of it.
    I've already been marked as 'NOT ATTENDED'. When I got to the ground I couldn't get in.

    send them an e-mail tomorrow , i imagine anyone that got scanned today will be marked as not attended due to the fact that the game did not go ahead

    It was the same below in Wexford park people were treated terrible ,people queing outside the gate to get in an hour before the match no body would open the gates to let them in to the stand.

    We will find out tomorrow.

    What should happen is that all season ticket holders in those counties who had matches called off today should be given credit for attendance.

    But then again its the gaa so nobody knows what will happen.

    I was at walsh Park today and it was chaos. I arrived at 130 and the match was cancelled and the turnstiles were closed..

    No opportunity for people to even prove they were down at the match.

    I didn't head down to our Fogged off match in McHale but myself and my brother got marked for attending.

    It will be interesting to see if the scanned attendance from last week are accurate.

    What about the people who went to the match and didn't get their tickets scanned.

    That would be me. I didn't get into the ground so no scan.

    The fixture is completely gone from the list in my account and my percentage is back up to the pre-match level. Looks like scans will also be erased.

    Is the 'bring a friend' option available for the league as well as the championship? Want to being someone along to the Kerry v Mayo game but tickets are sold out it seems..

    If the match is in Tralee start queuing early if ye want a seat. The gates opened at 5.00 pm when Dublin played them a few weeks back. The stand was almost full by 6.00 pm.

    But that doesn't answer my question? :(

    Do they not reserve a section for season ticket holders?

    No.

    Other than Croker, I've not seen any ground that reserves sections for ST holders for league games.

    And rightly so.

    I disagree. But again, it's not really what I am trying to get at - is the bring a friend option available for league games? If so how far ahead of each game is the option normally available? Thanks.

    I haven't seen it as an option yet and I checked the night before a game.

    Croke Park matches only and season ticket holders get an email about a week in advance about the bring a friend option.

    3 of us went to the Hyde. All 3 cards were scanned. Heard the beep.
    1 coming up as unattended.
    Absolute joke. Couldn’t be arsed fighting them.

    My attendance in Killarney last Sunday not updated. Surely at this stage they would have uploaded the info??

    My husband's the same when we went to Cork for a game. Last away match we were at i took a photo of card being scanned. The person he contacted about it just didn't care and basically said tough. You can't go any further than him

    Last year it happened for the 1st championship game and they said tough. But I just kept at them and eventually they caved and credited me.
    I really can’t be bothered my hoop doing it this year. I go to all the games so be well over the 60 per cent if we make the final. Wouldn’t go if Dublin weren’t in it so don’t need/want the 100 percent attendance.

    Suppose it will be allocated seating for the league finals in Croke Park ???

    Much handier if it was unreserved seats but they never do that for CP

    Will be allocated in the lower Cusack stand.

    Depending on the crowd flow in relation to the two games you may be able to change your vantage point for your beloved Deise as it's the first game.

    Cool have must sort out seating groups so

    Lots of cribing about Croke Park as the venue for the hurling as people say Thurles is a better option etc. Personally like it being Croke Park as it's a wonderful stadium and nice day out
