Any plans to respond to the consensus that this was a terrible decision? Ye might as well shut the whole thing down or hand it over to someone else if ye are not going to put the effort into it. Square_B (Leitrim) - Posts: 1024 - 06/11/2021 15:04:24 2388552 Link
No upcoming fixtures or recent results, despite dozens of county finals in October and November. A charade. Tacaí Liatroma (Leitrim) - Posts: 1126 - 06/11/2021 16:04:02 2388557 Link

Replying To Tacaí Liatroma: "No upcoming fixtures or recent results, despite dozens of county finals in October and November. A charade." Updated fixtures can be found here. Whatever about the decision to close the county forums, I think you and others are being harsh on hogan stand. They've obviously been hit hard by Covid 19 and had to cut back as a result but they are still continuing to publish content on a daily basis compared to the joke of a GAA website that often goes days without being updated. Cut hogan some slack ffs. gaelicgab (USA) - Posts: 878 - 06/11/2021 20:33:48 2388590 Link

It's a disgrace. Regarding being hit by Covid 19, if they lost the manpower to audit the other county forums, what would have been wrong with making an archive of them available?

Exactly, all they had to do was leave the county forums where they were (as an archive) and not allow people to post, we had threads and posts going back to 09 like every other county and now it's all gone.

Still laughable Cavan and Meath have their own forums to this day. FallenStar (Galway) - Posts: 423 - 08/02/2024 14:05:31 2525099 Link

Replying To Viking66: "Not really. Hoganstand is based there." It's located in Kells in Meath….a different county and Provence. It's where they collected stones to throw at Cavan supporter buses in 97 after AI semi final. ExiledCuCu (Cavan) - Posts: 239 - 08/02/2024 18:17:40 2525144 Link

Replying To ExiledCuCu: "It's located in Kells in Meath….a different county and Provence. It's where they collected stones to throw at Cavan supporter buses in 97 after AI semi final." Now, I can't complain too much about the demise of the Kilkenny forum, it had tumbleweed rolling through it, such was the amount of activity on it. But that aside, if the reason for Meath having its own forum is due to Hoganstand being based there, what was the reason the Cavan forum remaining when all the other counties were 'retired'?

Not a clue TBH. Perhaps the Admin lives across the divide in Mullagh in Cavan? I personally prefer the way it was to engage with contributors from counties that were in the same division. Perhaps the admin could tell us if it was Covid related and they didn't want IT virus contaminations across the 5 mile boundary over the internet ??

Tomsmith (Cavan) is the real Admin, but he is staying tight liped and giving nothing away. supersub15 (Carlow) - Posts: 3050 - 09/02/2024 09:07:58 2525190 Link
