Sam Maguire Group 2 - Galway, Armagh, Tyrone, Westmeath

[Harold Disgracey]

Request turned down, game goes ahead in Carrick on Shannon. Tickets will be available online only, not through clubs.

Switch rejected, CoS it is.

Yet Dublin get it every time they request it .

[Louther]

As if both teams wanted the game in Croke park for ticket needs. Galway not take too many up the road for a dead duck.

Both mgts wanted to get a run out on Croke Park, both rejected bigger capacity grounds with that in mind.

Has it sold out yet?

Good point. What was the attendance at the recent Dublin hurling game there?
In this case both counties seem to have proposed Croke Park, so it seems that some counties get things others do not.

edit Dublin -Wexford hurlers in Croke park had an attendance of approximately 9000. I'd hazard a guess that this game in Croke park would beat that.

Tickets on sale now on ticketmaster so get cracking lads and lassies

Still not sold out pairc Sean and them on sale a few hours now . I had a vision of tickets going for thousands on the black market such was the furore .

Why should people respond to an inconvenient venue by buying tickets 10 days before a game? People could have decided to go on the day if Galway and the GAA were not acting the bollix.

You'd think with all the talk about thousands of the best supporters in Ireland missing out due to the limited capacity that the game would have sold out in minutes. Now they're not buying tickets because a venue 2 hours away exactly half way between both counties is too inconvenient? It seems like Armagh wanted this match on their doorstep. I was at an u20 final in Leitrim last year and it was a lovely venue with plenty of parking.

Neutral venues will have to be addressed after the end of the season. As the crow files is uncorrelated to the road network, especially around the border. For the moment (and in the absence of the A5), the northern teams would have to be the focus.

Inconvenient?! What?? It's 7 mile closer to Armagh city than Croke Park and only takes 30mins more. You're having a laugh.

Tickets still available by the way. Maybe the Armagh wans only interested if there's a rip in the capital?
