Sky Sports: We will cover Kildare v Mayo in Newbridge OR Croke Park

Sky Sports have released a statement to say that it has no influence on selecting the venues of GAA matches.

The broadcaster also said it's ready to cover the Kildare V Mayo game where ever it's held.

Some Kildare fans had claimed that Sky Sports had encouraged GAA bosses to create a double header at Croke Park for TV coverage.

However Sky released a statement to JOE which said:

"Sky has absolutely no influence on the selection of venues for live televised matches. In any event, we will have crews ready and in place to film this weekend’s games regardless of where they take place."

"Sky are ready to show the match, regardless of the venue. All that needs to be settled now is the actual venue."
