Time To Stand Up To GAA

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


People can give out all they like but the GAA wont listen. The only language they understand is €€€€€.

I dont expect anybody not to go and and support their county as a result of what has happened this week.

However would it be possible to get a campaign going this weekend NOT TO BUY ANY MATCH PROGRAMME OR ANY FOOD OR DRINK FROM THE GAA. I know it would be short notice but if they were told in advance it was going to happen they simply wouldnt buy in as much supplies or print as many programmes so short notice would hurt more.

Food or drink can be bought anywhere else and team sheets can be printed off or got online.

A lot of people did vote with their feet by not going to Croke Park last weekend. Clare and Wexford people also voted with their feet by not going to Cork. The GAA understand €€€ very much.

Why should we hit the funding of our facilities up and down the country???? What are we 'standing' up to?? Any chance someone might pose the question to the multi million FAI organisation as to why it is such as shambles to not even have a 15000 capacity stadium in the country's second city.........

GAA scored 3 own goals this season so far,
1 The farce with Kildare over Newbridge venue
2 The charity soccer match to be played at a 7000 capacity in Cork while Pair Ui Caoimh lies empty, the debate over national council having to pass this is rubbish, it was Government funding that built it and is belong to every irish citizen and is up to us to allow a charity match to be played not the old farts in Croker calling the shots
3 25 euro for a double header knockout quarter finals in Croke Park with the old system, this new media driven plan costs supporters over 75 euro for the 3 games which are pointless matches, go back to the old knockout quarter finals. Grab All Association GAA is a perfectly named organization, why didn't they give the option of buying a ticket which covers all 3 games for 30 euro, at least that way you get some value, but then again all the GAA care about is MONEY!!!
Money Money Money must be funny in a rich mans world. The Croke Park mafia are at it again, flashy cars, designer suits and hats, cigars, plenty of booze, entourage, etc

100% it's time to stand up to them, I heard that tickets for Tyrone v Dublin are €20 and tickets for the other 3 games are €25 , is this true? And if so why?

Surprised that someone from Northern Ireland would regard Cork as the country's second city.

Otherwise, that was a really cheap shot. Grow up, and tell your unionist pals to do the same.

Where am I wrong? The GAA made a mess over the Kildare v Mayo story, they denied Kildare a home match and it was the Kildare team and co board that stood up for themselves.
The other thing are you happy paying 75 euro for 3 matches when without the super 8s like last year it's 1 game 25 euro and then you're in the semi final, Tyrone and Kildare supporters will feel the pinch, they had to go through a number of qualifier matches to get to this stage.
I wouldn't even mention what some counties supporters are saying seeing that the last time their county got out of their provinces and got to this stage Noah was building his Ark

I am GAA through and through but there is nothing wrong in his post , decisions are about bottom line and nothing else in the GAA. Grass routes fend for themselves and the club player sits on his hands as games are cancelled to suit the intercounty game . the money is papering over alot of cracks in the GAA in my view.
