So now the gaa bosses are thinking of something along the lines of the Super Bowl for halftime entertainment, what next …. Hopefully it's either kneecap or the wolftones stoneygrey (Monaghan) - Posts: 223 - 06/03/2025 08:48:06 2594981 Link

Hopefully it's either kneecap or the wolftones" How about publicising and promoting the feckin games instead of worrying about the 15 minute break in AI Finals? Trying to book flights for London v Roscommon. All we know is the game is on Saturday the 5th April. No mention of a time or if it's afternoon, evening or whatever!!!

It's at 3 p.m. https://www.rte.ie/sport/results/gaa/2025/6413/fixtures/ link Either way, unless you just wanted to do a day trip, I'd have thought just book a flight over relatively early on Saturday morning, and back sometime on the Sunday.

It takes a while to get from airport to pitch. Delays regular in the airports too. Parents of one of the Galway players last year got one of the "in time" flights & delayed 1 hour only got there at half time. systematic (Galway) - Posts: 135 - 06/03/2025 12:24:08 2595027 Link

So the initial post re publicising the game was just an excuse for a rant. A rant that was factually incorrect. It's impossible to please some people Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 2047 - 06/03/2025 16:17:04 2595084 Link

Connacht GAA and Gaa.ie sites have no time stated. A query to London GAA got no response. Seanfanbocht (Roscommon) - Posts: 2107 - 06/03/2025 16:42:11 2595091 Link

Yes, I noticed that myself about the Connacht GAA and the main gaa.ie sites myself, when I googled "Connacht Senior Football Championship 2025". So I just scrolled a little further down the results and clicked another link as well. It wasn't difficult. I'd expect that a quick phone call to Roscommon GAA would have given you the answer too.

Other established Irish entertainers have been on stage there at half time at All Ireland finals too. Certainly has happened at hurling finals anyway.

Old trick quiz question: Q: What four brothers played midfield for an All-Ireland Final? A: The Furey Brothers. With Davey Arthur. Pikeman96 (Wexford) - Posts: 2734 - 06/03/2025 21:37:50 2595134 Link
@seanfanbocht - Roscommon County Board not sure what time their flagship county team is playing a championship match at in a little over four weeks time?????? Seems like massive disorganisation and incompetence to me, either on their behalf or the behalf of the Connacht provincial council, if they haven't actually fixed a time for the game yet. Leinster Council confirmed times more than a month ago for all first round football matches, and for all senior hurling championship matches up as far as May 10.

When Meath played Dublin in '97, they brought some supporters from both sides on to the field and had a kicking competion for charity. It was really entertaining, crowd really got involved. Something like that at the bigger games could be developed. Kingroyal (Meath) - Posts: 49 - 07/03/2025 07:10:36 2595154 Link

The match was on a Sunday. I flew over on the Saturday. Came home on the Monday. It was a great weekend. Ruislip is some set up. It was the Wee Countys only win that year.
