Replying To wexcore: "You do realise your forgetting kilkenny in all this. I mean why the hell would they let wexford footballers play in nowlan park. And as it is being suggested bring more wexford fans for what more then likely will be a decider to see who hurls galway in leinster final? Not to mention the fact the cutting up of a pitch before a hurling match. There was never any feasible chance of a double header in kilkenny." i asked that above too,and whether wexford venue could be not in wexford! i would say most grounds are able to cope with 2 matches perfect10 (Wexford) - Posts: 3929 - 31/05/2018 21:25:45 2106106 Link
Lads the game should be played in New Ross. You'd get more support for a football match in Ross than in Wexford Park, fact. Both because it's closer for the Waterford people and because Ross is football territory. Can't see why not. Playing it in Kilkenny is a stupid idea. Nothing more demoralising for a team than seeing their "support" turn up with ten mins left in the game just in time for hurlers. icehonesty (Wexford) - Posts: 2553 - 01/06/2018 00:36:49 2106140 Link

And it would be closer to kilkenny for anyone wanting to support both teams. yelowbelly (Wexford) - Posts: 409 - 01/06/2018 08:41:03 2106157 Link

People wouldn't go. And if they did, for the vast majority the only reason someone might go to Kilkenny early to be there for the football is so they can get a good seat for the hurling on after. The Waterford people from west Waterford would come to Ross, more than they would to Walsh Park. And more Wexford people would turn up to Ross than Wexford Park. Especially if it's played at 2pm and gives people plenty of time to head to Kilkenny after. I really can't believe people are suggesting to play our senior football home championship match in Kilkenny. Unreal. icehonesty (Wexford) - Posts: 2553 - 01/06/2018 10:57:12 2106211 Link
The football is fixed so there's no point talking about where it should or shouldn't be played! Any updates on the injury situation? Any challenge games or word on how training's going? P&G (Wexford) - Posts: 14 - 03/06/2018 13:23:15 2106738 Link
icehonesty,the only reasons i said it was because i wanted some level of support,i do not think the lack of interest in football is due to anything other than the low level the team is at at present. the best way to raise that is to get support.wexford park will not be a fortress with 200 supporters. but it is what it is. perfect10 (Wexford) - Posts: 3929 - 03/06/2018 20:22:43 2107025 Link
Should be another exciting game on Saturday. Two teams who will fancy beating each other. Really looking for to the South East Derby hurlorhurley (Wexford) - Posts: 1660 - 06/06/2018 11:51:55 2108003 Link
After a great result on Monday hopefully keep the flow and come out on the right side of this game. Waterford have had nearly as much as a turn around in players from last year as us. With losing jim and daithi we are losing two key figures for us. I expect naomhin to go back Full back and Nolan to centre back and the big lad ( cant for the life of me recall his name) into midfield. And Tiernan (although would perfer pepper ) for Curtis. It will be a tough battle but if tubritt plays like he did against laois we should squeeze through wexcore (Wexford) - Posts: 740 - 06/06/2018 12:44:18 2108030 Link
shouldnt be surprised,but it is crazy to think we never played each other in championship! would it be pushing it to expect a 5-6 point win? perfect10 (Wexford) - Posts: 3929 - 06/06/2018 22:56:02 2108246 Link

Hopefully the U20s who are still eligible dont play a part and get to enjoy the occasion of big game against the Dubs at home. Daithi is certainly a massive loss but as you say if Tubritt plays like that again we should win. Unfortunately he has been frustratingly inconsistent so far, in recent years have seen him tear teams apart at club level on his day and also been easily man marked other days. I think if he becomes more consistent he will take over from what looks like Lyngs retirement. Wexford by 5 is my prediction followed by a sprint to Nowlan park.

This Waterford game is the best draw we could have gotten, by my reckoning Waterford are probably ranked number 32 in the country right now, especially after losing Paul White. It brings it's own pressures though. A loss to Waterford would probably be the worst result and worst year of football for Wexford maybe ever. Having said that I expect us (and hope!) to win by 7 points today. icehonesty (Wexford) - Posts: 2553 - 09/06/2018 09:45:43 2108876 Link

A disaster. Well beaten from start to finish. Yes, we have new players. But we should still be a lot better than this. This has been a terrible year bar the one Laois game where we put up a fight. It will be very interesting to see who takes over the footballers now. It needs someone good asap. icehonesty (Wexford) - Posts: 2553 - 09/06/2018 14:57:39 2108942 Link

Shambles. Waterford last won a championship game in 2011 against London. Bringing on two under 20s when the game was lost was terrible too. They can't play now with under 20 team 890202 (Wexford) - Posts: 1278 - 09/06/2018 15:23:13 2108948 Link

Tough to take but Waterfords intensity blew us open in the first half ... I have said mcloughlin should get another year but after that when time and time again we were exposed straight down the middle it makes you wonder. One positive I will say before it gets all doom and gloom eoin Porter was outstanding wexcore (Wexford) - Posts: 740 - 09/06/2018 15:37:22 2108952 Link

A second year will set us back further. Agree, Eoin Porter is a talent. icehonesty (Wexford) - Posts: 2553 - 09/06/2018 16:20:10 2108963 Link
