I take your point to a certain extent but i don't think I am asking for Galway to be "given" anything. Participation should be on a level playing field. They are entitled to the same T's & C's as everyone else. Now if the financial controllers in Croke Park said we don't trust the Galway County Board so we are not giving you your cut, but we are putting it in an escrow account for you, that would be fine while there is uncertainty over financial arrangements. But that is not what is happening. Mayonman (Galway) - Posts: 1824 - 04/01/2019 13:48:40 2155649 Link 2 |
What ever happened to just being FAIR? Am I asking for too much? Whether tariffs between countries or amounts different teams get, etc can't you just make it even and as FAIR as possible? What a concept! Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2100 - 04/01/2019 19:56:28 2155694 Link 1 |
Essentially the Leinster counties and Leinster Council are looking after themselves . Until Galway were admitted the Leinster hurling championship was as dead as the Leinster football championship is now . Galway played all their Leinster U21 hurling championship matches in Leinster last year and as far as I know they are not allowed to play in the Greengrass (Louth) - Posts: 6029 - 05/01/2019 04:43:47 2155718 Link 4 |
What is fair is up for Interpretation. That's why there's debate. If Galway were to want a better deal it's up to them to argue for it. It does sound like they are getting a bit of a raw deal but as someone else has mentioned already they could do with getting there house in order before looking for better arrangements elsewhere.

I have no problem with Galway hurling in the Leinster Hurling Championship and it is up to them to negotiate their own deal. However what I really find repugnant is the way the Leinster Council treat the lesser lights of Leinster hurling. Like for example they "forgot" to include Meath in the 2017 U21 championship. But worse still they do their very best to frustrate any of the lesser hurling lights that make a little bit of progress eg banning Westmeath, Meath and Kildare from the Walsh Cup this year while permitting Laois and Offaly participate, McDonagh Cup teams exactly the same as Westmeath. If the argument is advanced that Offaly were McCarthy Cup last year them Meath can claim McDonagh Cup status for last year also. MillerX (Meath) - Posts: 1058 - 05/01/2019 16:12:55 2155748 Link 1 |
It's not about negotiating a better deal. Just give Galway the same T's&C's as everyone else. You shouldn't have to argue/ negotiate. All counties should be treated equally.

I'd have no problem with Galway getting equal treatment. I always welcomed them in Leinster. StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1726 - 08/01/2019 13:57:32 2156101 Link 0 |
