Kildare GAA were granted a home game in round 3 of the qualifers of the All Ireland Championship against Mayo in Newbridge, Co.Kildare, however CCCC have announced the game will be played in Croke Park, Co.Dublin this coming Saturday evening. This is unfair on both the players and the supporters of Kildare and Kildare GAA are making it clear that they will not play this game in Croke Park. St Conleth’s Park is perfectly capable of hosting the tie on an all-ticket basis, Newbridge is perfectly capable of dealing with the number of supporters that will attend

The momentum is undeniable now. St Conleth’s Park belongs on home soil.

Rules are Rules. You cant change them in the middle of a competition. And as for the insinuation of "crowd trouble" this is GAA supporters we are talking about. Crowd trouble is not what we are about. That is another disgrace by the GAA.

Im from Laois and I stand by Kildare. Why should they bow down and give up their home game. Rules are Rules, only when the men that make the rules want to break then to fill their own pockets. Disgraceful treatment of the smaller counties.

It is only fair for Kildare to have the game in Newbridge. And I think a packed out Newbridge would be a better venue than a two thirds empty Croke Park!

Home means home. More to the GAA than coorporate culture. Not the organisation I joined or introduced my children to. Shame on Croke Park hierarchy.

Not enough seats isn't kildares problem. There aren't enough seats on all ireland final day but they don't relocate it to the nou camp. It's the grab all association trying to facilitate (exploit) the mayo "diehards" that were nowhere to be seen in the league. #newbridgeornowhere

This is NOT a health and safety issue at all. Let the game take place in Newbridge - all those with season tickets from Kildare and Mayo will be accommodated and the rest can buy tickets online. From a Dub.
