With 200 supporters only being allowed per game summerhillof69 (Meath) - Posts: 228 - 23/07/2020 14:46:26 2285014 Link 1 |
It's not 200 supporters, it's 200 in total. So 110 total supporters. Then 32 on each side for players, management, physio etc. So that brings it up to 174. The ref, 4 umpires, 2 linesman and a 4th official would bring it to 182. I presume there is somebody from the chronicle and maybe LMFM at it which would be 184 maybe 185. I presume season tickets are out the window. Not sure how clubs will administer tickets

Personally I think this 200 limit is nonsense, particularly in PT which even in its dilapidated state can hold around 15 or 16'000. It's causing awful and unnecessary headaches for both clubs and the county board and the GAA should really be pushing hard to have this derisory limit raised, I'm all for doing our bit for the fight against Covid but limiting a total crowd to 200 to watch a game of football or hurling will do little or nothing to prevent any further spikes in this god awful virus, common sense should prevail and let a reasonable crowd attend games, it's only right to think that it's good for the physical and mental health of people at the minute to be able to get out to watch a few games as they please.

I agree with the comments and it is nonsensical. You are out in open space where the risk is very low. Sometimes I wonder about the idiots making up the rules as they go along. A green list published for going abroad but advised to stay at home (a bit like putting sweets on the table and telling the children to not take any). No control on numbers inside a building when you are eating in a restaurant. Social distance for a GAA match should be no problem for 500 or 600 spectators. Now I would not expect social distancing from same households. The problem of 55 tickets for each club will be: who do you give them to- a good way of generating problems. browncows (Meath) - Posts: 2342 - 24/07/2020 18:04:56 2285166 Link 16 |
The rules are the rules so no point debating the merits, what I would like to know is whether there are plans to stream any games? From a glance it appears quite a lot of counties have picked this up and we appear to be lagging behind, though I am open to correction if anyone has heard anything? dunboynelad (Meath) - Posts: 227 - 25/07/2020 14:39:39 2285258 Link 0 |
I think only games in Pairc Tailteann will be streamed. Fairly disappointing, although I don't know the logistics involved, maybe too difficult in club grounds

Games to be streamed from navan i think.

Anyone know what happens with a Club + Season Ticket SodanAbu (Meath) - Posts: 5 - 26/07/2020 09:19:14 2285317 Link 0 |
Nearly every club now has a Facebook page, surely they should be allowed stream the match LIVE on their Facebook page which will benefit the older generation and the kids. thelutch (Meath) - Posts: 1073 - 26/07/2020 20:58:24 2285373 Link 2 |
You should have received an email from the co board on this. There are places reserved for club+ tickets so you just show the ticket at the gate. They say you should inform your club that you're going for contact tracing purposes.
