Replying To tipp11: "Tipp down match has put everything up in the air as its the only one that cant be refixed for tomorrow" Can't see any matches in Dublin, Wicklow or Laois going ahead tomorrow. So fixtures could be moved into April. carlovia (None) - Posts: 1536 - 18/03/2018 12:22:42 2085261 Link
Replying To Gaaman1987: "Football games in Waterford and wickow off and pitch insoection for laois v carlow in hurling. Reckon must be doubts over games in wexford and offaly too" Games in OCP Tullamore fixed for tomorrow subject to weather conditions. Relegation play off Antrim v Laois goes ahead. A lot of games scheduled for tomorrow are dependant on weather improving in 24 hours. This is the third weekend where a partial or complete cancellation of games has occurred. thelongridge (Offaly) - Posts: 1879 - 18/03/2018 12:57:18 2085269 Link
Replying To carlovia: "Can't see any matches in Dublin, Wicklow or Laois going ahead tomorrow. So fixtures could be moved into April." I have no sympathy whatsoever for the GAA on this one. The fixture schedule is far too tight. In commencing the leagues in winter, it was entirely predictable that a couple of weather events could happen that would disrupt the entire schedule. If it didn't happen this year it would happen next year or the year after. That's what they get for putting the cart before the horse and not first abolishing all these pre season tournaments that are cluttering up the schedule PoolSturgeon (Galway) - Posts: 2011 - 18/03/2018 13:34:19 2085276 Link
Croke park has heating lamps and everything. It has a purpose of facilitating games regardless of stadium companies agenda. Could be used tomorrow for matches refixed for venues that wont be playable tomorrow either. I Ashrules (Dublin) - Posts: 568 - 18/03/2018 13:55:01 2085279 Link
All season ticket holders should get a free pass on this one. Very unfair on some of the counties affected by this especially with games that are being rescheduled for tomorrow keithlemon (Australia) - Posts: 920 - 18/03/2018 13:57:37 2085281 Link

They are freak weather events. thelongridge (Offaly) - Posts: 1879 - 18/03/2018 16:15:10 2085322 Link
Replying To thelongridge: "Seriously no one expected the blizzard of a fortnight ago, or it's smaller cousin this weekend. They are freak weather events." ...that are always likely to happen in a winter schedule and therefore should be taken into account when planning it.

Wex V Galway match is off tomorrow too. 19th march is off! galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2611 - 18/03/2018 20:29:28 2085526 Link
On rte radio Daryl Frehill was saying that the Down v Tipperary game couldn't be reduced for tomorrow as their is no Bank holiday up the North. They have a bank holiday for Patrick's day. Very ignorant of the gaa if this game is this is the reason it wasn't played tomorrow. shaggylegend (Monaghan) - Posts: 1948 - 18/03/2018 20:31:36 2085528 Link

Tipp gaa tweeted after the game was called off that it was off despite it being a bank holiday up there aswell so may have been reported wrong but not reason its not being played tomorrow. think work commitments are the reason tipp11 (Tipperary) - Posts: 353 - 18/03/2018 20:46:18 2085534 Link

The Gaa jumped the gun this morning in regards to rearranging games for tomorrow. Showed no regard for players who have to work Bank holidays. shaggylegend (Monaghan) - Posts: 1948 - 18/03/2018 21:51:25 2085573 Link
