Replying To kentuckytucky: "My point is that because it is a division four game and shur it's only Leitrim we'll move instead of postponing it. Not good enough." Also now this means that to achieve promotion that Leitrim will only play 2 games at home and 5 away! leitrim4sam (Leitrim) - Posts: 645 - 19/02/2022 16:48:22 2401102 Link
To be fair I imagine the reason is that the opposition is London and the logistics of a rescheduled game etc. means it's preferable to get it played if at all possible. galwayman2 (Galway) - Posts: 1248 - 19/02/2022 16:52:25 2401104 Link

Replying To kentuckytucky: "My point is that because it is a division four game and shur it's only Leitrim we'll move instead of postponing it. Not good enough." They found another ground and I presume Leitrim were happy to move the game or we would have heard about an objection. This game wouldn't go ahead if Leitrim CC or the team were opposed.

Why the Connacht GAA Centre venue. Could it not be played in Leitrims own centre? Gaa_lover (USA) - Posts: 3362 - 19/02/2022 18:29:39 2401125 Link
Replying To Gaa_lover: "Why the Connacht GAA Centre venue. Could it not be played in Leitrims own centre?" Ask Leitrim GAA. They agreed to the change. Rolo2010 (Donegal) - Posts: 739 - 19/02/2022 20:02:23 2401153 Link
Replying To kentuckytucky: "Scandalous the London game has not been postponed but instead has been moved to the dome. It wouldn't happen with Galway or Mayo. A lot of lost ticket receipts from that." Mountain out of a molehill. Leitrim obviously agreed to the change. Moran has every minute planned for the team for the next few months and he would not want a postponement. He didn't want to be heading into round 4 with only 2 points on the board. eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 1688 - 19/02/2022 21:04:21 2401166 Link
Replying To GreenandRed: "Definitely not good enough. But the GAA hierarchy don't seem so interested in promoting and improving the standards of so-called weaker counties. Not when so-called stronger counties pay more bills for them. Is the Carrick weather forecast for tomorrow much worse than weather for Mayo v Donegal played in Markievicz?" There's an expensively built centre of excellence up the road from Carrick that could have held the game too as mentioned. Leitrim_12 (USA) - Posts: 207 - 19/02/2022 21:18:42 2401169 Link
Given that throw in is earlier than anticipated, can anybody advise me where I can listen online? Doubt Shannonside will cover it that early mac21 (Leitrim) - Posts: 677 - 19/02/2022 21:53:00 2401176 Link
Replying To kentuckytucky: "There's an expensively built centre of excellence up the road from Carrick that could have held the game too as mentioned." I'm sure it could but obviously our Mayo based manager has a say too. Anyhow it's hardly any big deal. We need the win and that will be all that will matter come 1pm tomorrow.

Well that's our promotion chance gone. Supporting Leitrim would drive you to drink. Square_B (Leitrim) - Posts: 848 - 20/02/2022 14:36:48 2401293 Link

Well done to London today but a disaster for us , no need to be looking forward now to sligo match it will be a dead rubber for us. London may never get a better chance to get promoted now. JimmyNail (Leitrim) - Posts: 183 - 20/02/2022 15:02:43 2401305 Link
