Kernan: Segregation wrong route

Crossmaglen’s three-time All-Ireland winning manager Joe Kernan has warned that separation or segregation of supporters would spell the death knell for the GAA.

As Dr Crokes clarified they weren’t looking for ticket segregation for their All-Ireland club SFC semi-final against Rangers next month, the former Armagh boss cautioned the GAA might as well bar all supporters from matches if rival fans are sectioned in different areas of stands.

The Ulster and Munster champions face off in a repeat of the 2007 All-Ireland final, which went to a replay held in Portlaoise, the same venue as their February 18 fixture.
