This is turning into a bit of a mess. Dr. Hyde Park was deemed unplayable at 9am this morning for today's National League clash between Roscommon and Dublin, and thus was moved to Carrick-on-Shannon, which is 44km away from Roscommon. The only train from Dublin to Roscommon left at 8am this morning, meaning that many Dublin fans arrived in Roscommon to the news that the game had been moved at extremely short notice.
To help the situation, Roscommon GAA laid on complimentary buses to ferry the stranded fans to Leitrim:
Roscommon GAA complimentary bus transfer from Roscommon to Carrick 12-20pm from Molloys bakery, Hannons Hotel & The Square @DublinGAAnews

It appears now, however, that Dublin fans were forced to pay €10 each for the buses they believed were free. Stephen Doyle of 98FM tweeted the fact:
Dublin fans charged €10 for the 'complimentary' bus laid on by @RoscommonGAA

A number of other supporters have also taken to twitter to highlight it also:
Throw-in delayed 15 mins in Carrick. Meanwhile, someone just off the 'complimentary bus' from Ros says he was charged a tenner! #ROSvDUB

Balls.ie contacted the Roscommon county secretary and PRO, but neither were available for comment.
