Would say it's highly unlikely. A look at the fixtures shows that of the Div. 1 hurling counties, five more are in the same boat as ourselves, with their hurlers at one venue that day and their footballers at another - Clare, Cork, Antrim, Tipperary, Waterford. Of the mainly football counties, there's at least five more - Monaghan, Meath, Louth, Fermanagh, and Cavan. I just couldn't see so many fixtures being changed to avoid clashes, particularly since playing on St. Patrick's Day doesn't seem to be an option in many places, and there's no great appetite for playing on the Bank Holiday Monday either.

I took the question to mean "clash" as in "impossible to attend both". But yeah, at least we've a few hours of a gap between throw-in times, so at least you could attend one and listen to the other one on the radio in comfort somewhere. Some other counties have the exact same throw-in times at two different venues, or throw-ins just half an hour apart. Pikeman96 (Wexford) - Posts: 2509 - 06/03/2024 12:05:31 2530063 Link 0 |
No-one will get to both matches unless they have a helicopter. If anyone has one, keep me a seat, I'll sing and tell yarns in exchange for a berth

Would it really matter when or where, the games were played ?? I've seen double-headers, league and championship, at various venues, and it was surprising to see how many "supporters" only turned up for their favoured code. Yellaman (Wexford) - Posts: 126 - 06/03/2024 19:29:12 2530123 Link 0 |

Fair play to Wexford Co board for getting the game moved to Wexford.

Yeah not a good look. Trying to make out that somehow it's all good because we will operate home and away from now on is hardly going to appease the players or anyone who follows football in the County.

The move is an odd one all right. You'd think Tipperary could have found a suitable pitch somewhere in the county, if they'd really wanted to. Pikeman96 (Wexford) - Posts: 2509 - 15/03/2024 12:22:17 2531242 Link 0 |
