Did they charge an entry fee Janesboro? Curious, as I don't know how they'd go about stopping people walking! m_the_d (None) - Posts: 1099 - 06/03/2017 13:10:44 1964530 Link 0 |
Pretty sure Gaelic Park in NY has a synthetic surface these days, used to be a grass surface though. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9136 - 06/03/2017 13:38:55 1964567 Link 0 |
Yes, Gaelic Park is not a grass surface, so artificial surface first used in the 'old new world' since NY included in Connacht Championship I'd say. noelnyc (Kerry) - Posts: 82 - 06/03/2017 13:46:00 1964573 Link 0 |

I'd say they didn't as it was a late switch, It was suppose to be a double header in the Gaelic grounds but was moved. However the hurling ( also a meaningless league match ) went ahead in the Gaelic grounds. Shows watch Limerick GAA think of football when they put a league match on an artificial pitch. It's the same story with the Tipp footballers...surprised that wasn't moved to a carpark somewhere.... county man (Limerick) - Posts: 1102 - 06/03/2017 23:11:13 1964870 Link 0 |

Maybe but I don't think so Janesboro. They knew the Gaelic Grounds was definitely playable for 1 match anyways. There was never any danger of the hurling being called off. The football was moved on Friday, they could have played the football on Saturday in the Gaelic Grounds if they wanted to make sure London didn't have to stay overnight and moved the hurling to Sunday if needed. In fairness the facilities in UL are decent but only for training. It is not good enough to play a Senior inter county league match. county man (Limerick) - Posts: 1102 - 07/03/2017 23:11:52 1965301 Link 0 |
