Those plans are already in place. It was big enough for Tyrone, it is big enough for your crowd. And what do ya mean "if" we win the fight?? We already are.

That's not a rule anyway so it doesn't matter. The referee in that game was wrong to throw the ball up with only 1 teak present. All the referee needed to do was award the game to Dublin.

Honestly - the gaa would throw both teams out for failing to fulfill the fixture and finew both county boards - this is interesting as both sides have been too vocal in my opinion and have half backed themselves into a corner and to yield now would show serious weakness. The hub of the matter is the gaa are wrong in not stipulating in advance that the home advantage will have to be forfeited if drawn against certain opposition. If Kildale are thrown out and bring a legal case they WILL win . The only solution is Croker throwing a wad of cash to Kildare to enable them to finance grounds development on return for playing on Croker. Either way the CCCC are a disgrace and county boards should row on behind - put it this way they wouldn't do it to Cork with Frank Murphy on place

dont see why Mayo haven't come out and said they have full backing of the game being held in Newbridge, sure it's the closest they'll get to silverware this year ! NaomhNaille (Donegal) - Posts: 124 - 26/06/2018 23:39:25 2115674 Link 0 |

Many are describing Kildare are showing great courage by digging their heels in over the venue for Saturday's Qualifier against Mayo but I see it differently. I think that the Lilywhites by refusing to travel to Croke Park shows a lack of respect for the GAA bosses at HQ. The decision reached to have the Kildare v Mayo at the larger Croke Park capacity venue provides more opportunity for both sets of fans to gain entry rather than at the inadequate provision of the Kildare stadium. In addition, Croke Park facilitates better the GAA major contributor, Sky Sports for their screening of both games on that evening. TurnipHead.

No,no,no, Kildare and Mayo insist on replay in Croke Park, and Mr Bubbles from Canada has to cancel his gig......

So much for democracy in the GAA ! The whole country (minus John Maughan) can see that Kildare have right and justice on its side.... Stick to your guns, Liliwhites ! michael (Cork) - Posts: 381 - 27/06/2018 00:10:19 2115682 Link 0 |

Rumours now that the game could be played in Tullamore or Portlaoise, Mayo should then object to both those venues, either Newbridge or Croke Park that's it. Tullamore or Portlaoise? may as well play the game in Killarney or Wexford, both those venues are useless for Mayo fans to get to and from the game, driving on dirt tracks riverboys (Mayo) - Posts: 1389 - 27/06/2018 00:39:57 2115684 Link 0 |

You are missed informed. Round 3 is not subjected to CCC. Only from the 4th round onwards. We are entitled to home venue. The GAa have broken their own rules. We in Kildare are standing up not only for ourselves but for the whole GAA community.We are greatly encouraged by the support throughout the country. The rumbling of discontent against the Ivory tower s in Croke Park has been going on for several years now. The GAA should work from the bottom up not the dictatorship from the top down. The stance that Kildare have taken is the catalyst for change is for all of us . The issue now is to take back our great games from the suits in Croke Park who would and have preferred concerts in CP instead of our games. The revolution has started. Our games belong to us. If push comes to shove we can survive without Cp but they can't surive without US lilywhite1 (Kildare) - Posts: 2990 - 27/06/2018 01:22:19 2115688 Link 1 |

There are more than likely behind closed doors discussions going on as we speak and there'll probably be an Irish solution to an Irish problem. Kildare will probably end up agreeing to play in Croke Park with the promise of substantial Central funds for ground upgrades. Croke Park have messed up big time here and Joe Brolly is right when he says many Gaels have simply had enough. Though I do wonder if it had been Tyrone instead of Kildare would many have been as sympathetic and understanding?? Ulsterman (Antrim) - Posts: 9703 - 27/06/2018 01:30:40 2115689 Link 0 |

We all look a like to be fair! I hope your right and Newbridge has got a lick of paint since i was in it last 2014, former eastern block Russia was suing it for copyright infringement. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 27/06/2018 01:46:08 2115690 Link 0 |

Funny i was chatting to a few lads out in North Kildare club today, would have a few Leixlip, Kilcock, Maynooth lads on it, they were saying Croker was handier for them but would back the county obvs. But funny point, im not sure if Croke Park is closer to some parts of Kildare then Newbridge. I know its the county ground etc. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 27/06/2018 01:49:26 2115691 Link 1 |

I hope Kildare do stand their ground. It would be a great show of solidarity if Mayo showed up at St Conleths too but that might be asking too much!! seanie_boy (Tyrone) - Posts: 4235 - 27/06/2018 06:22:19 2115700 Link 0 |

Yep I would not disagree but I suppose if you looked at it rationally then surely Mayo seem to play best when they reach Croke Park, so I thought if not Newbridge (Where it should be played) then you would be better in Tullamore or Portlaoise maybe. As regards Sky, personally I have refused to install it at home so although i have a huge interest in all things GAA and especially now this game, I will not get to see it live (unless its in Croke Park!!) but I refuse to buy into this Sky hype as I believe it is wrong for our games. I hope Kildare get their way on this but I doubt whether they will. Anyway Cill Dara Abu ROYALOPTIMIST (Meath) - Posts: 179 - 27/06/2018 06:27:36 2115701 Link 0 |

Who actually owns grounds like Pairc Tailteann and St Conleths? Do Croke park have any rights over them? The GAA needs total reform and surely this situation is the start. If not a breakaway organisation is on the cards, its obvious people have had enough of the greed and elitism. TrimJim (Meath) - Posts: 24 - 27/06/2018 08:22:24 2115709 Link 0 |

Once this sorry mess is finally sorted the way forward should be neutral venues for all qualifiers. This nonsense about one team losing an advantage would and should be a mute point. Why should any county be given an advantage ? ponga (Mayo) - Posts: 649 - 27/06/2018 08:22:43 2115710 Link 0 |
