Games for the ‘suits’

IN response to Eanna O’Neill (‘Hurling fans lose out,’ Irish Examiner, September 7), as a Mayo man married to a Cork woman, we encountered the same problem last year with both All-Ireland finals.

Games for the ‘suits’

After going to every match in both codes, I spent the hurling final Sunday watching my wife beg for tickets outside Croke Park with hundreds of other desperate fans.

Fortunately, she got a ticket - I did not - and she got to see her team win. I wrote the following week to GAA president Seán Kelly and, in fairness to him, he replied to say he would address the situation - but it still seems the same to me. Loyalty to your team seems to be losing out to corporate Ireland and the ‘suits’.
