Replying To Commodore:  "100% agree, of all the games in the next round, Cork fans would have the longest distance to travel and on that basis alone, the game should have been available on GAA+, RTE or TG4.

Sadly the needs of the loyal GAA fan who primarily fund the Association are rarely given priority."
I'd say they were under pressure to have Louth and Armagh as one of the televised games with 6500 capacity in Iniskeen and 3500 Armagh season ticket holders alone

Not according to SouthoftheGap, it seems he couldn't get a stand ticket as a season ticket holder.

Replying To SouthOfTheGap:  "Are Ticketmassacre at it again?

Or was McCumhaill Park closed for 12 months because they were knocking the Stand?

They're won't be a huge crowd anyway, especially not from Cork, so you would assume that Season Ticket holders couls be accommodated in the Stand."
Over 14,000 tickets sold in less than 4 hours apparently, its on course to be a sell out.

Replying To SouthOfTheGap:  "You're certainly not. Got Aura Terrace for Down game and East Terrace this game.

Although it seems I was wrong about the crowd size, seems to be heading for a full house."
For the Down match there wasn't the capacity in the Stand to cover all Season Ticket holders. I'm very surprised all Season Ticket holders did not get Stand Tickets for the Cork match as Clubs are getting some Stand Tickets. Surely the Season Ticket holders should come first?

That's totally unfair

Replying To naomh_conaill_4:  "Genuinely don't know why the game against Cork can't be streamed on GAA+.
We would much rather see a one camera setup with no build-up or half time analysis then not see the game at all. There is going to be a camera there anyways for the Sunday game so why not just stream it and hook into Highland radio for commentary even into a Cork radio for commentary . It's madness in my opinion.

As for MacCumhaill park does anyone know if there are any other changes to the ground or is it just the turf that been changed?"
GAA+ was a Christmas gift to my dad who cannot go to games anymore, not user friendly to the elderly , buffering issues and now not showing games involving the all Ireland champions, league champions and all Ireland finalists from last year....burns said kerry v donegal had to be on streaming platform now mo games at all, brilliant from the GAA hierarchy who always know what's best for us
