Munster Hurling Final officially sold out 24 hours after ticklers went on general sale. All Ireland Final type demand. The GAA must be loving these attendances in the round robin hurling.The Munster Football Final should get close to 40,000 tonight as well.

Looking forward to a cracking munster final in the new pitch. It the only you see Cork supporters should up for a football game other than All Ireland final day  ;D ;D. I think Kerry could hammer Cork as there very much in transition. Bar Luke Connolly they don't seem to have many superstars. James Donoghue is flying fit and himself David Clifford and Paul Geaney are best FF line in the county. Can anyone recommend best hotel to stay in city? Going to head down with the husband on the Friday night.

What would the budget be? Will it be a sellout? I think a massive Kerry crowd will show up. Over 16,000 at Clare game today

A question on the Super 8's. Don't rugby league have copyright over the Super 8's name? Have the GAA come out and officially called it the Super 8's? It seems like the media christened it and it has just stuck.

I'd love to see a somewhat competitive Leinster Final for 40/50 minutes at least. Laois have played an excellent 3 halves of football so far in championship and scored 4-13 the other day. Then you have Carlow who play a real percentage based game with very few risks taken. I can't decide who would get closer to the Dubs. I suppose for the story it would be nice to see Carlow in it. I would give whoever wins the semi-final a great chance of making the Super 8's

Beat Sligo and they have to win 1 out of 2 games to make Super 8s which I think they would be more than able to do. Wouldnt be surprised if Roscommon do beat them though

Many counties first objective should be to make the Super 8's and all of the glamour that comes with that. Such teams that have a decent chance of making it include Roscommon, Tipp, Kildare etc. Who are some of the dark horses that you think could go on a qualifier run and make the Super 8's? Counties like a Down, Meath, Clare, Fermanagh, Laois. I think the only guarantees for it at the moment are Galway, Dublin and Kerry so still a lot to play for. I think the qualifiers are going to be followed alot more this year particularly the round 4 qualifiers with what is on the line.

RTE should get Wooly in to do a midweek show ...

not everyone likes him but he has a great knowledge of the game and all of the players even from the so called weaker counites....

If you just put a camera in front of the GAA Hour podcast each episode you would have 4 hours of fantastic coverage to put on RTÉ each week. It would cost RTÉ F all! I would love to see what Wooly and his guests could do if they were actually allowed analyze a bit of footage

Going to Chicago for the summer and was hoping for an updated list of venues to watch from if anybody knows of any. Don't think I'm going to get GAAGO

I presume a sell out in Omagh for Tyrone v Monaghan.
Wexford v Dublin should be close to 20,000.
Kilkenny Offaly 15,000.
And I'd say the two Munster Hurling Championship games won't be far off 30,000

Dublin are set to take on Wicklow in Aughrim in two weeks time. Not all of Dublin's season ticket holders will get a ticket. Will the GAA move it out of Aughrim? It would be some occasion if it goes ahead there!

Great win from Antrim today to make it 2 out of 2 but some disgraceful antics from the Carlow players. They finished with 12 and 3 Antrim players are currently in hospital. Should be lengthy bans given out! No place for it in our games.
