An unsporting attitude to fans

I’m not the only Limerick supporter annoyed by the allocation of tickets for Sunday’s Munster hurling finals in Páirc Uí Chaoímh.

Limerick, with two teams in the final, were allocated 2,000 more tickets than Cork. So, how was the stadium a sea of red? We are due an explanation from the Munster Council as to where the 10,000-plus tickets went that were allegedly not given to Cork, Limerick or Waterford.

The Munster Council should have played this year’s finals in Thurles, in Semple Stadium, which has a capacity of 50,000. The GAA seems hungry for cash from music performers such as Garth Brooks, while turning its back on the money that 10,000-plus long-serving hurling fans would have paid for a seat at the Munster final. This smacks of the Sky deal and money before people.
