Disaster bringing these games into PS especially under lights. Older people will not travel as they are afraid of freezing in there. Families will not bring smaller kids due to cold and bedtimes also Neutrals will not travel as its PS
Secondly unfair on players to be playing under lights in a semi final when they aren't used to it and clubs not set up to train under similar lighting conditions
All in all a big own goal from county board to bring it in there. Semi final day in Athenry is always a massive day on the club scene and draws a huge crowd

Also the bot of business it gives to shops and restaurants in athenry is badly needed on those big hurling days. Bad call by the county board.
