Connacht chiefs defend no-refund policy after FBD League postponement

Connacht GAA Council chiefs have defended their decision not to issue cash refunds to supporters after yesterday’s FBD League game in Castlebar, between Mayo and Galway, was postponed due to a frozen pitch.

The 2,000 fans at MacHale Park yesterday were given tickets to allow them to attend any 2018 FBD League fixture, shortly after referee, Paddy Neilan, called the game off at 2pm, for ‘player welfare’ reasons.

Many irate Mayo and Galway fans took to social media to vent their anger about the timing of the announcement to postpone the game, and also that no cash refunds were available.
