Tickets on sale at 10am ONLINE ONLY!!

Heard that. Why not let clubs put in batch orders and have all the underage kids enjoying the games sitting together?

Maybe 10k from Derry?

You're forgetting the bandwagon that has been hitched on.

A day out in Dublin, on Saturday, no work (for some) the following day. Only ourselves heading that direction.
Championship QF in Croke Park - was the 2007 QF the last time we had big C'ship game there?

Realistically its only another hour on down the road from Clones on better roads, without the tailbacks and hassles of Clones, Aughnacloy, Fivemiletown etc.

Could draw out more supporters, not less.

They'll be a big number travelling going on general chat around the clubs. Ticketmaster making a pretty penny today. GAA don't do themselves any favours in the PR department

I was at the Semi final v Kerry 2004.  Very poor crowd and it was a Saturday but Kerry dont travel much unless its a final, different buzz this time. Paul Galvin destroyed us that day

People also knew we hadn't a chance in hell of beating Kerry. This is different, there is no team on our side of the draw that we can't beat if we get it right on the day.

We'd a decent run of games that year, after being beat by Tyrone. The only one I didn't get to that year was the Wicklow match.
And Muldoon did give us a bit of hope at the start of the Kerry game, but it was always going to be an uphill struggle.

That game was on a Sunday. O'Sullivan ran the show for Kerry, incredible player

Ah you might be right, I was down whole weekend, O'Sullivan was good but i couldnt believe Galvins running ability that day.

Not that I been a season ticket holder recently, but having to go on ticketmaster with a free for all, instead of getting a centre block ticket would put a person of getting season tickets, it's no longer value for money anyway. Gaa could went through the clubs but always go with the cheaper/lazy option via ticketmaster who are not doing it out of their love of gaa, wonder their cut on tickets.

Galvin was man of the match iirc. I'd never heard of him before! Crowd was high 30's or very low 40's - not many Kerry. Great qualifier run that year, think I saw them all, Wicklow included (and think we'd lost to Wicklow earlier that year in the league?).
Fermanagh v mayo replay? was on the Saturday.

He was unreal that day ,From memory Frances McEldowney had the unfortunate task of trying to mark him.

Enjoy the week ahead and get the flags out. Proud day for Doire Gaels on Saturday no matter about results. We go in as Ulster Champions for the first time since 1998. A hard road back with fabulous work done behind the scenes at all levels to get Seniors and Minors to the top table again. Pride restored. Sin é, slán. Bain sult as an lá. Doire abú!
