Does anyone have contact information for the Offaly County Board? I'd like to get the 'official' view of the situation - which I'd be happy to report back on...
I'd be very pessimistic that this will get any tangible results - but that being said, just making fixture planners aware that we're not likely to just accept it might make them put a couple of games off till the following week.
However that then leaves you playing three weeks in a row - so no good there either.
rule definitely applies here. Complicating matters is that there are only so many weekends to work with. Lot's of constituencies to be pandered to. Maximizing income potential. And somewhere down the list what is actually fair to the players and to a lesser but not insubstantial degree their loyal supporters.
I can repeat what I read on kkcats.com, which no doubt you've read already - we won by 3-20 to 1-21, and Waterford had a pretty full strength team out.
How motivated/interested they were is another matter of course.
