Clare GAA discussion thread

eroo

Thought I'd start this thread as haven't found one of the same.

So, 2010.. new decade... new beginnings? With the aim of the League being to get back into Division 1, could Clare also achieve success in Munster this year?

The fixtures for 2010:

31.01.2010 Waterford v Clare(Waterford Crystal Cup SF)

21.02.2010 Clare v Down (NHL)
28.02.2010 Laois v Clare (NHL)
14.03.2010 Clare v Wexford (NHL)
21.03.2010 Antrim v Clare (NHL)
28.03.2010 Carlow v Clare (NHL)
04.04.2010 Clare v Westmeath (NHL)
18.04.2010 Kildare v Clare (NHL)

07.06.2010 Waterford v Clare (MHC)

As well as a proposed friendly versus Cork, Ger O'Loughlin has a good load of matches to blood players from U-21's into the senior game. With the opponents in the League not posing a major threat some would argue Clare wont get as much preparation as Div 1 teams, but maybe it will give them an opportunity to focus on their strength and conditioning?

So, Clare face Waterford on Sunday at 2pm in Ballyduff Upper.. I think they should win against this weakened Waterford side, but I think it will be close tbh. But could Waterford topple us in the pre season tournament?

Don't forget the All Ireland tickets that were forgotten about in a drawer in 2013

thats the Clare county board.
multiples of that are gone through cork clubs as I understand it.
the first line tried by the board was that because only 300 were sold through clubs for the semi final they only looked for 1400. This doesn't wash at all. I bought my tickets in the bring a friend option with the season ticket that's not available this time so I had to go through my club this time for example. people could buy tickets on the day down there for the semi final.

Since then there seems to have been some waffle about a type leaving out a 0
the munster council is being blamed by the board but no one should accept that.
I mean the idea that no one would have clarified that figure is just not credible.

Are you serious that only 1400 tickets were requested? Was this for the Stand only?

They're sold out online but does anyone know if any of the Centras around ennis have them?

Looking forward to our game with ye. Ennis has been a happy ground for Mayo in the recent past. I think the game will be close enough. If Mayo play like we did against Derry Clare could well beat us.

Looking online it appears Ennis is fully booked for Sat night already.

Lads, I'll have my Dad who is in his 70's with me on Saturday, If I come in the old Gort road, in towards the hospital, do you think I can get parking which is close enough there? He isn't great on the pins so want to keep walking distance low. Assume for the 5pm game would need to be there for 3 to get parking close?

ring clare county board and ask their advice

Thanks for that. Will it be a nightmare to get out of Tesco carpark then?

Traffic will clear fairly quickly, half an hour and it'll be mostly gone I'd imagine, you could head into the Sherwood for something to eat to let the traffic go if you wanted, other options would be to part in the Clare Council offices, they usually open up for matches.

By the way, coming into town, take the Tulla exit off the motorway rather than the Gort Road

Tell me how

Probably will be difficult but half an hour will clear most traffic.

Alternatively, you could park at Auburn Lodge and get taxi in and out.
Would add cost and getting taxi after might be difficult but it's an option.

Cork won the minor tonight too, making it a Cork v Clare double match on Sunday. Reportedly 8,142 turned out to see it. Make no mistake, that county is coming to Thurles pumped up. Clare need to just concentrate on their own game and focus on where they can win, because they can.

Pairc ui Rinn was ecstatic tonight. That result is gonna add another ~5000 to the Cork crowd.
