Replying To Aibrean: "I'll try again, for the last time. Here is what I asked you: "But the decision to play in Tullamore was made to suit the bulk of the supporters who will attend the game". Can you support this statement? A little bit of evidence, maybe ? I'll spell it out. It's the DECISION I'm talking about. How do you know how or why the DECISION was made? I'm not interested in your opinion or even your speculation; can you tell us - with some supporting evidence - how or why the DECISION was made by the CCCC? Unless you are on the CCCC, or you have some contact in the CCCC, I can't see how you would know what the logic behind the decision was." A decision was made to suit the majority of people who want to attend the game. That is glaringly obvious to most people. It's very simple logic but beyond the ken of some it seems. A good decision well made. If the decision isn't to facilitate the majority of people then why was it made? A shadowy conspiracy against the poor, unfortunate people of Kerry?!!! ;) MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13817 - 13/06/2025 12:02:09 2617167 Link

I have no doubt that indeed is NOT the case.Did the gaa do a survey to find out who is going or not going? I have no doubt Meath will outnumber Kerry because of the distance.If the game was played in Thurles imsure Kerry would equal or outnumber Meath supporters. I suspect Thurles was nt chosen as the gaa thought the crowd would nt be big enough for it like most Crike park games at mo. I think you are off the mark in this one Mesamis.

Makes no difference to anyone where it's played as both teams are safely through to the Championship proper… it's of no interest or value to anyone ForeverBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 4065 - 13/06/2025 14:16:44 2617195 Link
Replying To ForeverBlue2: "Makes no difference to anyone where it's played as both teams are safely through to the Championship proper… it's of no interest or value to anyone" Not true. The loser will have three games in consecutive weekends and both already have injuries and will want to avoid that. Drax_the_destroyer (UK) - Posts: 494 - 13/06/2025 14:50:15 2617208 Link

Replying To ForeverBlue2: "Makes no difference to anyone where it's played as both teams are safely through to the Championship proper… it's of no interest or value to anyone" Are you still on about this one? Any thoughts at all on my observation that according to your so-called logic, if Cavan made it to an Ulster Football Final, it'd be a meaningless and nothing match since both they and whoever they were playing would already be through to "the Championship proper" anyway?

Only 30k showed up for the entire Munster Championship. All of it! Kerry don't get a support outside of the Final or the odd semi final. No need for a survey to see that! Like you said, Thurles far too big and further way from the people who have an intention to go to the game. Tullamore a good shout instead. I can't believe some people would prefer to make it more difficult for the supporters to go to a match! That's madness. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13817 - 13/06/2025 18:23:50 2617262 Link

A provincial Final is a totally different game altogether than a meaningless group game and if you can't see the obvious difference then you can't be helped….

Replying To ForeverBlue2: "A provincial Final is a totally different game altogether than a meaningless group game and if you can't see the obvious difference then you can't be helped…." It takes people of a certain intelligence to see that every game has a certain importance in the group stages. Even the Armagh game is important and they are guaranteed number 1 spot. There are no meaningless games. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2333 - 14/06/2025 14:54:15 2617356 Link

Replying To ForeverBlue2: "A provincial Final is a totally different game altogether than a meaningless group game and if you can't see the obvious difference then you can't be helped…." Now you're contradicting yourself. By your so-called logic, Kerry v Meath was meaningless as both were already through to the next stage. By the same token, a provincial final would be meaningless, as both teams would also already be through to the next stage. You really are quite the ticket. :) Pikeman96 (Wexford) - Posts: 2948 - 14/06/2025 18:10:29 2617403 Link

Hope you made to Tullamore in the end and had safe travels both ways. Wondered about your concerns and can see why. Meath could have won by another 5-10 points.
