What do you mean? Limerick hurlers have been using LIT to train all year. The LFGA entered an agreement that said "yes you can play the semi-final here, BUT should the Limerick hurlers reach the final we'll need it"

Incredibly naive of the LFGA, and disappointing that they'd take such a risk with an All Ireland semi.

Far to many fixtures issues involving LGFA and Camogie association in recent years, I'd argue it's not an equality issue, the problem is terrible administration in both associations

If it were the Cork and Galway footballers who had asked to play in Limerick, would LIT Gaelic Grounds have told them yes you can play provided the Limerick hurlers don't win the All Ireland Semi- Final? That would never happen. The Galway Ladies team accommodated the Cork dual players by agreeing to a change of date and playing the game in Limerick , sadly, they did not receive the same generosity in Limerick.

Ah will you get over yourself. This arrangement, with a proviso like that, should never have been entered into. The Limerick County Boards first duty is to their own players. If Galway GAA Board ended up in the same position the answer would have been the same. Anyway why could the game not have been transferred to Ennis or Thurles or even Killmallock.

I think you're off the mark with this one. All reports state that it was made clear to the LGFA that the Gaelic Grounds would not be available if Limerick made the hurling final. Any bit of cop on would have ensured they had a proper back-up venue in place.
You're letting the LGFA off the hook big time by focusing on the Limerick County Board. They've treated both Galway and Cork with disrespect in this instance and Galway were hampered yesterday by only having a few minutes to warm-up.
With the late switch also meaning the game didn't get televised, they shot themselves in the other foot too.

Why wasn't Portlaoise or Thurles both floodlit venues considered, heard the Galway manager on Off the Ball this morning, LGFA again don't come out looking good

A window into the LGFA mentality

Here was me thinking Katser was the only Galway poster who was utterly irrational when it came to Limerick..
The LGFA are at fault here, your attempt to somehow make out this is about the Limerick county board is a bit daft.

JPs team v Waterford you mean! Ye should lighten up, you could have loaned the pitch for 90 minutes, your hurlers wouldn't be training all day!

Ye will never get over 2018. Why pick on Limerick. Several other counties have huge financial support from huge organisations like Kerry, Wexford or Avonmore Co-Ops or Arnotts. For the first Twenty Five years odd of Sponsorship the only Limerick based firm that sponsored the team was Maddens Milk and that was briefly. We were sponsored by Shaws, which is a Protestant owned business, with headquarters in the Midlands and for another few years by the Health Board and otherwise by Limerick people who live outside the county like JP and Tommy Moran, either of whose businesses would not gain much due to their connection with Limerick GAA. The fact is JP is a genuine Limerick man who supports several causes both locally and nationally and its his own business what he does with his money. Are there not several rich Galway people and organisations, at home ad abroad who could gladly bankroll your Hurlers, if that is a problem.
As I said if the boot was on the other foot and Galway were training for an All Ireland Final they would do exactly the same thing as Limerick did.

Thanks WPW, good to see another Galway person talking a bit of sense to this lad. The fact is we do not get to too many finals and to even less when we might have a50/50 chance of winning so it totally unreasonable to expect LCB, in the middle of a Pandemic, to alter their preparations for the final. If Cork or Galway were put in the same position, I am sure they would have acted in exactly the same way.

This has nothing to do with 2018 or the Limerick hurlers. Limerick deserved that All Ireland, were the better team. There were All Irelands we should have won but that wasn't one of them.

Shambles totally the fault of the LGFA.

Re subject of thread, Limerick most likely to win but like every neutral In the country I'll be cheering for Waterford. I'll be as happy as any blaa myself if they do! Anyway it's great to have 2 teams in the final who have not had many All Irelands to celebrate.
