GAA outlines plans for fans' return

The Government approved plans to allow fans attend a number of of test events in June across various sports, including Gaelic games, last week.

A statement from headquarters on the return of fans in the South, read: "From June 7th, competitive and challenge games at all levels of club and inter county are permitted to take place. However, it is essential that we continue to proceed with caution and that the Return to Play Protocols linked here continue to be followed.

"It is likely that from July 5th, up to 200 spectators may be permitted to attend games, and up to 500 may be permitted in grounds with a minimum capacity of 5,000. However this will depend on progress in broader society – if these increases are to be permitted, we will advise in advance of July 5th.

"All grounds should have appropriate dispersion measures in place at all entrances and exits and parents/guardians should be advised that congregation in large groups on or outside club grounds is not permitted."

The numbers make no sense, thousands will be congregating on Dublin streets this weekend but Croke Park can only hold 200 people.

Great news, strange though that 1200 can attend a Leinster rugby match and only 100 attend GAA ones. Evidence of anti GAA attitudes in both Govt and Media? I hope more can attend GAA in the Summer.
