Replying To countyman2022:  "Apparently no championship the weekend of Electric Picnic. Lads after going by the masterplan and booking something the weekend there was no hurling now may have hurling on. Some county board we have"
Oh boo hoo!
Why should electric picnic get the no matches treatment ahead of every other item that is on through out the summer

Replying To Doylerwex:  "Wexford is full of these types of legacy players, o Connors, Lamberts, floods, McGraths, recks, Jacobs. Could go on and on

The youngest Lambert lad is being talked about already and I think he's under 12"
Pity we can't get a few Rackards!

There hasnt been any hurling championship for the electric picnic weekend at any stage from my memory, always coincided with a football week unless now there's no championship matches at all which would be a joke imho.

Replying To Wexfordgaa:  "Too right let lads go for a weekend. What's the problem with that. Was talking to lads here in Dublin some came back for championship last year but weren't right or could not enjoy the weekend couldn't perform for their club young lads need to have a life too."
The problem is they gave a masterplan and lads have went by it. And now they have changed it after people have made plans around it. We must be only county in Ireland that has scheduled no matches on two different weekends in the same month for music festivals. No wonder hurling is where it is here, its very far down the priority list.

Not the case AFAIK

Is there another event that as many players go to? Very unlikely.

Since when are the Lamberts 'legacy players'? And talking about a 12 year old?

Agree with most of that lad. Sooner the Fleadh moves on to somewhere else the better. Complete rip off, especially if you have children. And organisers using soft people to do all the work for them for nothing. Traffic everywhere. It's nothing like it was 30 years ago when it was a festival of music. Now it's just another commercial event, all about the money.
EP used to be very good too, kind of grew out of the type of parties I used to go to in the 90s. Now like the Fleadh its just completely over commercialised. Unfortunately greed is a human characteristic, and where the unscrupulous see a crowd they see a profit.
