I've sort of resigned myself to the fact that fans won't be back
at grounds this season anyway but could be interesting if fans
are allowed for the final especially if either or both of the
blues and the glens get through

Just looking at the draw there. Six Championship club have
withdrawn. Is that because they can't train or that they can't
afford to do the testing?

"Championship and Premier Intermediate clubs, who have not
trained since December, will be given elite status while they
are in the competition despite not being allowed to play league
games."
Madness! They are either elite or they are not.

Was reading this on an IFA post on Facebook today. Also from
the same report, Mourneview is the standby stadium for
international matches - never knew that!!!

Given the current 'numbers' it would be an absolute farce if
spectators weren't allowed back this season, indeed as spread of
the virus outdoors is virtually non existent, there should never
have been a ban.

With the benefit of hindsight, perhaps.
But before the vaccine, when transmission rates were going
through the roof, the danger wasn't really what was happening in
the stands/race track/golf course etc
Rather it was people travelling all over the country to attend
events, often using public transport, and then congregating at
"pinch points" like turnstiles and car parks etc.
