What's the chances of pitches being playable Sunday
minors played on it sunday in the last 16 of the national cup.
pitch took a fair hammering and this"balmy weather" we are having,will not help matters.
if that's a disgraceful (one L) carry-on then so be it.
fairview were actually looking forward to the match in fact,and it actually would be preferable to have the suspensions served,before the tuohy cup final.
there have been numerous matches played on both pitches,with so many underage teams to cater for.
just said i would reply,to keep the neutral(and level headed) people in the know
apologies...under 17's played on it

correct if im wrong and i well maybe but the touhy cup is not normally played until 16th of march ,and seen as we are in cork and wexford the next 2 weeks then i would imagine view would have a lawson cup game in between to clear any suspensions,agree with you about pitches taking a battering and also on the subject of having so many underage teams to cater for,[ we have 2 teams in dublin and dundalk this weekend in national cups,] but you said view were looking forward to the game ,so does this mean ye have resigned yerselves to the fact the game will not be going ahead or did you in fact mean the view are looking forward to the game.And if you were so looking forward to it why did you go to ldmc looking for it off
[QUOTE=hotdog;1659034]because the pitch would be destroyed...simple as.
as regards suspensions,the A team went almost 7 weeks without a match,up until the semi against the Boro.the pitches have been taking a hammering,because the 16,17,and minor teams are all still involved in national cups,and were all fortunate to get almost all the matches at home.
so matches went on the pitches,even when most other matches were called off
so with the weather showing no signs of improving,it could happen again.
remember there have been at least two blanket call offs in the not too distant past. and the week before paddys day is the 10th(about six weeks away)
best not to look for"strokes being pulled",just because it is pike and view.
it is to save the pitch
I see your back stirring things again hotdog,is that all you bother doing on these forums,all you ever do is come on here and talk crap about other teams,you are involved with one of the best clubs in Ireland so do yourself and your club a favor and stop talking tripe.
[QUOTE=prawnsandwich2;1659037]Why don't Fairview play this game in UL then like Geraldine's did last week,if ye haven't played in 7 or so weeks then I'd say the young lads would only be too happy to play,I believe UL are making their pitches available and if I'm not mistaken Care Park are availing of them Saturday night,Pike and Carew playing big FAI games the following week,could do with a game the week before,
tbf thats one thing you could never accuse pike of....pulling strokes.......and of course the pitch at crossagalla is the envy of all,even if thats unplayable you have the second pitch,and if thats unplayable they always have kilmallock.
[QUOTE=faceoff;1659074]dines done it because it was a cup match,and did not want to concede home advantage...that's why.
it looks like the match will go ahead at this stage,unless the ref. calls it.
but the pitch will get destroyed in the process.
it has nothing got to do with young lads wanting matches or not.
last comment on the matter
And you have a cheek of throwing digs at hotdog,everyone knows you have no time for Pike,but if you think that bothers them you have another thing coming,Hopefully the game will go ahead on Sunday,didn't hear you questioning why Hibs are giving up home advantage to come in to UL,wonder who's paying for it??Why would a team put an additional cost on themselves for no reason,ie petrol and renting of field,???
From what I hear hibs can't get lads on a Sunday morning only had 7 for wembley last week so obviously it makes sence to play it Saturday before lads go out
Quick question about league games taking place in ul? Are the away side entitled to refuse the option of playing the game if the home side are pushing for the game to take place on the surface?
I agree its a top facility,but in my opinion league games should take place at the home's side natural venue.I think 1 of the charms of the premier league is goin to take teams on,on their home turf.Some mornings games are a battle due to tight pitches in poor condition or whatever,it can level the playing field if you like and adds a bit of character to the league.
Shannon hibs 1 Carew park 9
Giving up home advantage is ridiculous in my opinion,we might as well run the league out in ul now altogether and have done with it.
Look at the pikey lovers going mad.. Lads Carew offered to pay for ul and asked hibs to do them a favour as they are playing on Astro next week. Fair play to hibs they know they are going down but to help another team progress in fai they helped them out. And they would do the exact same for pike. So keep your stupid opinions to yourselves
And who are you dirt free to claim my opinions are stupid??Is the premier now an astro turf league?And what's this pikey lovers comment about.......jog on like a good man
Thanks for the game last night hibs, as for carew winning the league handy,don't think so,we will probably have to win every game from here on in to be sure of it,pike are going to come strong and they are the only team IMO who can win all there remaining league games,i see the other fella is at it again,, think he should be on Jeremy Kyle.!!!!!!!!!!!
i thought it was when aisling play all their home games on astro !!! dont hear ye all complaining about that. in fairness lads hibs have not won a game all season and do you really thing home advantage against the league leaders would have made any difference :confused::confused:
Lads your opinions are what they are biased as usual. At the end of the day Carew would beat hibs on any pitch. So stop trying to make excuses why Ye are second in the league. It's typical of you lads to come on here giving out when you know the league is out of your hands. It's lads like you 2 that turn people against pike . It's a pity you let your club down
were they belong they finished 2nd in a tough division 1a last year so entitled to go up to premier and take there chances unfortunatly they did not strengthen team in summer so it was always going to be a battle to stay up plenty of other teams have came up from 1a and struggled big time in premier it is a big step up but what are teams supposed to do refuse to go up ? show some respect to clubs it's not all about the big city teams plenty of good clubs out there doing there best to produce teams good/ facalities etc
ye are second in the league?im involved with wembley dirt free.... here is a suggestion get your facts right before posting,do you think carew will take the home fixture against pike out to UL? no chance! last season we drew with jamesborro at home, a result which cost them the league, if that game was on in UL they would have hammered us...trust me its a dangerous trend leage games taking place in UL in my opinion. and for your information i think its superb for the league that carew are putting it up to pike.... good luck to them
No clean sweep for us pal,we are just happy the way things are going at the moment,we are not good enough to do a clean sweep,don't have a strong enough squad,would be happy with a trophy if not it still has been a great season so far.to be mentioned as Pikes main rivals for the league is enough for me
And if Carew win every game is that not in carews hands. You can dress it up whatever way you want . It's still advantage Carew
