Have to agree terriblefootwork.it's getting more evident every day how day to day supporters are being alienated by the suits in croke park..only last week another notice given that under no circumstances will cash be taken any more and gates on day of a match…this comes on the back of government announcing that atm machines are to be kept so that people can use cash..I suppose the suits are disgusted that they didn't come up with the foundation idea themselves..shame on all those who said no to the jersey??question,if the teams had played with them,what would punishment have been??

Replying To TerribleFootwork:  "Just said I'd post this here as there isn't an active Tipp thread, think its an absolute scandal that yourselves and Tipp weren't allowed to wear the jersey's with the Dillon Quirke Fountain logo on the front for the challenge game yesterday. Shows how out of touch some decision makers in Croke Park really are."
Think it was the right call to be honest.

Care to explain why? Don't think you could actually handpick a better cause to promote.

If cash is accepted as legal tender for retail/food and other items, why can't I pay cash into a match in Tullamore or other GAA grounds? Not everyone has a bank card, or is familiar with IT.
Could a person take a case against the organisation for not accepting cash?

There is no law which says businesses must accept cash but the government is planning to introduce one. You mention cash/retail but that is dependent on the business. I went to a coffee shop in Dublin which only accepted card. And then you have takeaways who only accept cash.

Hard to see too many going to Thurles for Antrim match the weekend , if you can't pay cash to get in might reduce it further . Be interesting to see Limerick team when it's announced.

I would imagine your season ticket holders alone would bring a bit of a crowd.

Why should we be surprised? When the Limerick County Board have conveniently stopped taking the cups to the schools it shows how out of touch they are.

Then again, many don't appear to be concerned about this or about no cash at turnstiles. Let them eat cake.

I have seen loads of photos of Limerick hurlers with Liam in national schools all over county Limerick. Obviously they didn't do it over COVID. But to say they have stopped it, is neither here nor there. It has never been taken to secondary schools now, if that's what you're on about!

Very comfortable in thurles today..Antrim weren't up to much but limerick can only beat what's in front of them..the only thing is it gave a lot of panel players a chance to put up big scores..Westmeath next week and that could be another big win..

It's the truth. Antrim are managed by a former gk and they had no puck out strategy and a head the ball in goals..

I should think not.

You can purchase tickets at Centra or SuperValu using cash in advance of the game

We have done well given our resources.
You know yourself.
Now, if we had your resources.................

Injuries to 7 starters, on a limited pool. We weren't expecting anything today.
Dead rubber for us.

I have to commend the Antrim Team for the Guard of Honour when the teams came on the field, its was a touch of class by them. Also fair play to the Antrim Supporters who made the long trip to Thurles on Sunday. Antrim is fair distance form all the hurling strong holds and I've been to matches in Ballycastle and it is quite the journey to Thurles from there.

Antrim have recently opened a 570K high performance centre which is regarded as the best in the Association so their resources aren't too bad at all, at least financially. Galway GAA spent more than Limerick last year and still did not improve. Dublin hurlers have the best of everything and still struggle to make an impact.
The bones of what is required for the foundation towards success costs nothing. Kids who want to play hurling, talented hurlers, parents you are willing to give their time and effort to put the structures in place locally. Primary and secondary school involvement, teachers volunteering etc.
In saying all that the resources i'm sure you are referring to are the number of talented hurlers Limerick have at their disposal compared with Antrim. Hopefully results and performances will improve as the season progresses. Hurling needs as many competitive counties as it can get.

We don't need any lectures and you have a short memory, and some amnesia at the same time.
I hope JP has a few winners at Cheltenham, he is a good man.

Apologies honestly didn't mean it to sound as a lecture. I was just giving my opinion that financial resources don't automatically equate to success and giving some examples. Isn't that the whole point of this forum i.e. discuss our hurling opinions on things. My memory is fine thanks, If you disagree with something I said why not offer a little more detail on your own point of view.
