Inter-Provincial Finals: under lights in Croker Sat 27th Oct

[Tubberman]

The GAA is to try and entice fans to attend the upcoming interprovincial finals at Croke Park by slashing admission prices.

The finals will take place under lights on Saturday, October 27th when, it is hoped, a lot of people who may not be overly familiar with Gaelic games will go along to see the football (5.15pm) and hurling stars (7pm) in action.

"We're bringing them to Croke Park because we feel that first of all the attractiveness of playing them under lights should be a help," said GAA President Nickey Brennan.

"We're nearly getting to the stage where it's nearly make our mind up time on the inter-provincials.

"I'd like to think that this might give them a new lease of life."

Could be a good evening's entertainment. Think I'll head along anyway.
Anybody know who the Connacht football manager is this year? I know JOM was doing it before he took the reins again in Mayo.

Dubs perhaps

To be serious, it should be like €10 for adults, €5 for students and free for children. There's no reason not to.

Seems like a great idea - in fact let them all in for nothing !

Thats an 8pm start for the hurling so, as the football will be delayed if the Jackeens are involved, but maybe Celtic might be live on TV so that will deflect from their core support
