Ulster Senior football championship 2024

There is unfortunately a big lout element that follows Armagh, Lurgan is the biggest town in the county so proportionally has more louts. It is also geographically further for fans to travel to any other county ground in Ireland so the buckfast brigade get at least an extra half hour drinking time on the bus than anyone else. Thats not to say there are louts from every corner of the county, I've seen my fair share of hallions make fools of themselves and they're weren't Lurgan people.

Plenty of them from every county. I've seen loads of Donegal lads pished in Clones an hour before a game was due to start, and I'm sure people could tell stories about Donegal wans who were headwrecks to be beside. I've been at loads of games with Armagh people - never had a single bit of bother. On the contrary they were always a bit of craic and everyone wished each other the best afterwards no matter what the result.

Time to start turning a few of them away at the turnstiles.

Ah look I can say the same about people from any county- plenty of arseholes who (drunk or sober) will do nothing but shout abuse at players/officials and usually know as much about football as I do about brain surgery. Been at games with ones from other counties- yes even Tyrone who I've had the craic with and wished well for the next round.

Ulster final has become more important now after today's group stage draw. Winner could reach the All Ireland semi final while it will be a real struggle for the loser to reach All Ireland quarter final.

Yeah said it before the draw, this final is the biggest game we've had in years. Will define this team and the McGeeney era. Win and we've finally beat a good team in a big game and won something and have a path to a semi final and beyond. Lose and we've bottled (as much as I hate using that word) another chance at silverware lost what I'd imagine will be another tight game and left ourselves a tough task at getting to a quarter final.

Ticket sales to clubs only. Will they open to everyone next week?

Guess it depends if they fill the venue via the clubs outlet, if not then they'll go onto Ticketmaster you'd think.  Can't remember what way it worked last year.  At last a game where it feels like the season ticket has some value.

My club at home is sold out and taking no more orders.

Don't t think it will be 5:1 Armagh like in the 2022 qualifier.

Or the 2010 qualifier!

Does anyone know when tickets will go on sale on ticketmaster? Do they have to wait until they know how many the clubs used?

Yeah. Depending on clubs there could be general sale maybe midweek as far as I know.

I think a lot of you need to think more carefully about calling these so called people "Fans". I'm from Lurgan and it pisses me off a bit when people come on here and just post up "Lurgan people are scumbags". These people you are talking about come from everywhere and don't care what the attraction is, they're there for the party and couldn't name you 3 players. The real fans are there for majority of the games home and away through thick and thin and thousands come from Lurgan to support Armagh.
I see drunken fans at every game from every County so no crap about being far away to travel/size of town nonsense or whatever else was posted, the fact is the further in the Championship you go the more idiots you get unfortunately. The All Ireland final will sort that out as tickets are so hard to get and there'll be no Lurgan ones drunk at that either.

Yesterday morning on the Met.ie website the forecast for Sunday had rain the later part of the day. Yesterday evening the forecast for rain was gone, and it predicted dry and sunny, Today the rain is back but a bit earlier and likely to be a problem. The BBC website predicts light showers. Weather forecasting in Ireland is not yet able to predict this far in advance.

Two types of meteorologist in the world. Those who don't know what the weather will be like and those who don't know that they don't know what the weather will be like.

The Irish weather is like supporting Armagh, things seem that they will be good or bad, but you never know what will happen on the day.
