We're not going to sort it out here anyway.

I would be happy with Mayo playing all 3 Super 8 games in Croke Park.

As would I
I just think it’s going to become more of an issue now !!!!

Speaking of issues
Tickets for this game will be an issue
I m also assuming they will now have to drop the price ........

franklyon

Exactly can we get back to the football please?

If Mayo were in a Super 8`s group at this stage with Dublin to find that Dublin had both their home and neutral game in Croke Park, especially if the neutral game was v Mayo I wonder would you still see it that way.

This with Kildare has been coming for a long time. Now is the time imo to sort it once and for all rather than brush it back under the carpet.

We all know that but a ground in same county as a participating team is hardly neutral now is it !!!!

Galway for example could play Games in Tuam or Salthill
Could they nominate one as a home ground and the other as neutral ?

Galway would be quote entitled to nominate either Tuam or Salthill as a home ground but in the Super 8`s would have no say in the neutral ground.

Neutral grounds have always been recognised as a ground in another county that are generally equidistant from both competing counties.

Parnell Park is Dublin`s home ground, Croke Park is a national stadium in the same county and therefore should not be termed a neutral venue.

As I said above some teams would be happy to play at Croker for a neutral game as Lucy’s May suit them etc

What I’m getting at is now county boards have taken back a little of the power from HQ and MAY now have a choice
This isn’t just about Dublin btw

I flagged it last month ahead of super 8s and likely problems for away games involving mayo and Dublin

Well past time this rubbish ended.

Was it? Im sure it was Croke Park specified.

I’m almost certain when it was voted in the structure was as I have suggested and after that the neutral venue just kind of morphed into Croke Park
Then the murmurs of discontent started when people thought about it but it was too late .........
I don’t think it will be a massive issue as the likes of Donegal may actually prefer to play that game at Croker anyway
But it was a bit presumptuous of the GAA perhaps

The main issue will be when the likes of Dublin and Mayo draw another county will a small ground (there aren’t many as small as Conleth Park though )
But how that issue has been out to bed
The home team decides
Which is right and proper
If they decide to switch then that’s their call

That is correct, Croke Park, not neutral.

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

And if it won`t then the powers that be will again us their baloney of health and safety to force counties to accept.

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

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 ?

There is absolutely nothing in the rules about playing at 'neutral' venues in the Super 8's. It specifies Croke Park, pedantic maybe but still.

I’m glad it’s Newbridge now. No excuses .
And a very important precedent set ahead of the super 8s Cos this issue was most certainly going to raise its head a few times

I wonder which neutral venue Dublin Donegal will play at ?

Probably where the first line of screening to make sure that only ticket holders make it to Newbridge.

What would the capacity be if he knocked down the stand and replaced it with a large window?

TBH I can't see headquarters budging re the double header at this stage.Tickets on general sale since Monday,priced for a double header.Arrangements made by supporters.

It would be a logistical and administrative nightmare of epic proportions to perform a u turn.
