Replying To westmeathfan25:  "Confused as to how the pitch last night not being playable in return means "County Players are treated so badly in this county"
You said it yourself - coaching, nutrition, analysis, travel expenses - would you prefer if they did not spend that 1.2M on those things and instead put it towards the cost of building a COE? Or is your expectation that Westmeath should continue spending millions on the "badly treated players" and find another couple million somewhere to build a COE, because let's be honest, the previous fundraising that was meant to raise €1M didn't happen, so what happens next? And it can't be a continuous blame on the County Board - they can put in all the effort to get fundraising events up and running, but if people aren't willing to contribute then what happens - will you continue to solely blame them?"

Replying To OverTheHill85:  "There is such nonsense behind the scenes, and the players and management teams aren't been treated well or fairly at all. This forum probably wouldn't post the list of things we could all spill about whats going on."

Replying To iarmhiabu:  "It is absolutely shocking what is going on, no surprise St Loman's grass pitch was playable for a League game last night!!"

Replying To Temple56:  "I agree, hopefully the blindfolds come off and people start to see what's really going on.

I'm not blaming St Loman's or Kinnegad, because I know my own club is in the same boat. But right now, there's a complete breakdown in trust between the clubs and the county board. It feels like the county board's default response is to shift the blame onto the clubs.

It's hard to believe that a pitch deemed unplayable on Wednesday night for a major U20 championship match was suddenly considered playable just 24 hours later for a Division 1 ACFL game. If that got picked up by the national media, we'd be a laughing stock.

At this stage, I think an EGM is needed as soon as possible. The county board is in a very poor position, and it's difficult to see how relationships with clubs can be repaired under the current circumstances.

I've no doubt that everyone involved with Westmeath GAA is doing their best, but the "my way or the highway" attitude from some individuals has really damaged how the board is viewed. Hopefully, a few step aside and we see new leadership come in."

Replying To GCCABU:  "Will you take on a position yourself then"

Replying To Fighting-Cocks69:  "Any more details on this? I noticed we were the only U20 games canceled on Wednesday."
