Powerhouse wrote: » In fairness the whole "solidarity" thing is fine in theory but at the end of the day county boards are part of the GAA. They have as much and more allegiance to Croke Park as they have to the Kildare county board. They also have their own perspective - for example, Waterford might wonder what the fuss is about when they couldn't play any home game in the Munster championship because their ground wasn't deemed up to scratch. It would be a bit rich for them to express solidarity with a county refusing to play at all.

They may love hobnobbing with the glitterati in headquarters, but the glitterati have no say in them becoming or retaining their positions as members of their county boards. Any of them that goes against the wishes of their own club members would be well advised to remember that.

charlie14 wrote: » My understanding of the Super 8`s format is that it was sold to delegates as two groups of four where each would have a home game, an away game and a game at a neutral venue. So how come Dublin will have two of their group games in Croke Park ?
km79 wrote: » When the super 8s were announced It was one neutral One home One away It has been taken as a given by the GAA that Croke Park will be accepted by all Maybe it will maybe it won’t Kildare wanted Newbridge Cos the pitch is tighter so it gives them a better shot at mayo . Maybe next time they have the option of players by Dublin at home they won’t take the money and will give their players the best chance possible as Cian O Neill said Principles .......
