If any of the lads would like to support this we would be grateful. My younger brother who used to be a prominent foot.ie contributor pauro 7 is running it and has done a superb job. The site has only being set up 3 hours and we have raised 1.5k so far.
Heres the link:

Why can't the car boot sales continue?
I admire galway for that stance , it’s better to give a small number the opportunity to attend a game rather than not bother.Quote:

Once you count it all up, you're not far off 150 people when scraping bare minimum really.
Media/journalists, TV crews, photographers, medical/order of malta, players, coaching staff/various backroom team, club officials, stewards (which are still essential even without crowds), potentially ballboys/girls at some grounds.
I went through a rough count of a normal enough match night in Finn Park and got to 130 pretty quickly, and there'd be bigger backroom teams at some other clubs.
The numbers rack up quick enough alright. Then on top of the above is club volunteers, club directors etc ,sponsors who are entitled to first option on a ticket. I admire Galway for distributing their surplus tickets but its understandable why other clubs aren't in a position to.Quote:

It's 53 ST holders, but are away fans getting an allocation?
Sounds like we need 150 as we are only offering 50 season ticket holders entry. I presume no away fans will be permitted anywhere.
The social distancing rules . The way the car boot sales work is there are stalls all on top of each other and people wander around browsing at it and buying. This would have a very strong impact on our fundraising as not too many people would attend as much and not as many would be willing to set up a stall. Thats my opinion on it.Quote:

Yeah that would be the case.Quote:

I just watched some of the IFA Cup semi final, surprised they had crowd noise during the game.
Yeah its a tricky one as I asked one of the chief organisers that Q on our own whatsapp so have to take him at his word. Its strange that the Galway is open though or is it that they have more staff to regulate it I wonder?Quote:

I don't know, I just drove by, didn't actually walk through it. I'd guess hand sanitizer at each stall and traders wearing masks. Probably a one-way system in place too
Bit the bullet and signed up for WatchLOI.
"Now the drugs don't hurt..."

Oh, they added in First Division teams?
The Galway stream from Saturday was better then the WatchLOI one. Maybe they should just let the first division teams run it.
I thought the WatchLOI stream was very good. I saw some people saying they had issues with blurry stream or something, but it worked perfect for me after the initial hiccup with Derry blasting crowd sounds through the PA system and sound issues on the streams part for the first 5 or 10 minutes.Quote:

Ah it was good alright but did buffer a few times. Nothing crazy. Especially when you consider the FAI are involved.
Galway quality was a lot better but less people watching it.
Both games worked fine for me, no problems. Impressed.
Sound issues at the start but after 15 minutes it was good. Hopefully all grounds the same!
Buffering is generally a sign of issues on your end. It worked well for me without any buffering.Quote:

It was really good and great to be able to see games. Shame it took a pandemic for them to allow it.
You should run a speedtest just for the curiosity. On fibre to the door here and resetting the router resets the line and speed jumps massively, especially around the 5-7pm when people must be logging in most often. I'd no hassle with the streams myself.
Found it a great service. Hope it is something that is here beyond the current season.
Sligo v Waterford tomorrow doubtful as a player is suspected of having covid - Examiner.
With 220 cases in the last four days as well, you'd have to think there's a good chance this season just won't finish. At best, Phase 4 (allowing 500 people outdoors) has to be in doubt, which would be a blow for clubs too.
This whole thing is a right pain in the hole...
Waterford player.
Game is off apparently
This is the third time that game has been postponed this year 🙈
Definitely off now.Quote:

Cough cough
Three of the four signings started against Shels...Quote:

Its almost certainly keeping traction due to incidents like in Kilkee which is ruining it for the likes of sports fans who want to gather in a controlled and responsible manner.Quote:
