    Its not about a pay day, you really believe that? Putting the 2 games in Croke Park probably wont even make a profit on the day. Croker needs a 30k + attendance to make it viable to open for the day but i suspect im wasting my time with facts on you

    So what do you think is the point being made here by the GAA?

    I think mayo should pretend that they will turn up in Kildare. “ oh ya, we support our football brothers in arms”. Have Kildare thinking that we all go down together. And then make a sneaky U-turn and turn up at Croke Park on Saturday. Tog our, be the diligent boys where the game is fixed for. And walk away being a whisker away from the super 8s.

    I don't care as long as they split Dublin in two.

    And what happens if Mayo draw Dublin in a home tie in the Super 8s on July 22nd?
    Is Castlebar a big enough venue on "Health and Safety Grounds"?
    Would Mayo move that game to Croke Park?

    Not really. The H&S angle isn't really a credible one. They want a double header and that's that. It also casts questions over what they'll do in the Super 8's. Home advantage should be home advantage.

    But all that said, if the GAA do get their way, I won't be heartbroken for Kildare. They've been happily playing (cashing in) in Croke Park for Leinster games vs the Dubs since as long as I can remember. I think all this is mainly a Cian O'Neill solo run that others have had to fall in line with. He's under pressure and it seems like a bit of an attempt to deflect attention away from himself.

    You haven't - or you would have seen I said Mayo have to show up at one venue or the other and in doing so, will be talking sides....and then you wouldn't have had to post a point already made!

    31,000 i believe so there would be no issues

    There was no suggestion of a DH when the draw was made though.

    Mayo should go to Kildare for the game, then Kildare should shneak off and tear up the road to croke park and get a walkover!

    Travel to Croke Park and line out (with no opposition) with big fat Mayo Mick at corner forward- let him get the walkover winning score.
    Redemption.

    Would you expect them to make a suggestion when the draw was made?

    They normally make the draw early am and come back at lunch with the times / venues etc after considering things.

    You really think that they are going to kick two tier 1 counties out? Really? That is a lose lose situation for the GAA and would start the beginning of the end for the current board. I think Mayo are being complicit in the misdirection and money grabbing of the game by doing nothing.

    Since when was Kildare a tier one county?
    They are division two county at best. They failed to win a single point in division one :confused:

    It is the whole reason why the GAA are trying to move the game from Newbridge because they expect so called 'weaker counties' like Kildare to roll over.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    But they offered Cavan an alternative venue and they picked Enniskillen so there was no question of a DH until Kildare refused to nominate an alternative. You dont seem too well informed

    Then in a scenario like this one could take Parnell Park and the other could head to Jones' road....

    If it's not a pay day, then what is the reasoning behind the GAA move in your opinion? That's what I'm asking if you can keep a solid thought in your head and follow it to a conclusion.

    Couldn't be more informed. Seeing that Cavan couldn't play at home, I wouldn't say they offered them an alternative venue. They had to find an alternative venue.

    Well its hardly unusual to put on double headers in CP. Once Kildare didnt nominate an alternative venue there was a problem and with Cavan agreeing to play in CP it probably seemed like a logical solution at the time tbh.

    This 30k + attendance is the biggest load of rubbish. Surely it boils down to what they charge in on a given day and not how many attend the game???
    And I cant believe anyone thinks this is not a pay day for Croker. Charging everyone 25 euro in croker as opposed to 15 euro in Newbridge or Enniskillen is easy easy money for the GAA.
