Super 8s

[Jayop]

Hyde for us.
Anyway as the Qtr Finals are a 3 games series you won't have as big a travelling support as for knock out games.
I wouldn't see us v Donegal going much over 12k.
I too suspect not making the Phase 2 and 3 fixtures is to leave room for venue manoeuvres.
If results follow popular expectations Dublin will have qualified and we'll be gone by the time our trip to play them comes around.
20k in Croker with a Dublin B selection playing a disinterested Ros won't be much of a spectacle.

Yeah I don't see any way Tyrone or Ross will give up home advantage. No I'm not sure of the accuracy of it but Wiki has Omagh at 26.5k and the Hyde at 25k. Not sure what the actual capacity of either is but there was just under 19k at the Connacht final there. It may have been resticted to that but wasn't there still showing plenty of room behind the goals for more people??

Hyde can comfortably hold well over 25k but it's only licensed for 18,870 until a load of work is done.

[Jayop]

Thought that alright.

Reaching the AISFs by winning a match at the Hyde would be even sweeter than doing it in Croke Park..

With Tyrone's record at Healy park so abysmal, I can see Harte asking the county board to move it to clones. A venue dublin wouldn't have any history with and it has a good surface compared to the burnt bog that is Healy park

sure Syf didn't plenty of Ros teams do that in the past when there was no super 8?

1977, 1980, 1990, 1991.

Dubs beat Derry in a backdoor championship game in Clones in 2003. Was thousands of Dublin supporters there and a great atmosphere.

Just wondering how do people in the 17 Football Counties that haven't made the last 8 feel about it now?

Inferior to Roscommon.

8 + 17 = 25. Maths not your strong point. As a gaa fan from one of the crap 24s I'm a bit ambivalent about the super 8s. Just patiently waiting for the real action to start in the AI semifinals.

He did mention footballing counties.

Any sign of Super 8 fixtures for next 3 wks??? Why the delay?
CCCC get the finger out

I'd imagine they're going to see which teams win this weekend from the qualifiers playing each other and decide where to stick TV cameras next week. That will decide the day/time of the games. They certainly won't show all 4 games again next weekend.
