Down v Armagh - Newry - 20 March 2010

[T Fearon]

For what its worth I fancy an Armagh win on the basis that the two attacks are more or less equal (though Stevie's current form probably sways this slightly in Armagh's favour, and a fit Ronan would have given Armagh a decided advantage), as are the respective midfields, but Armagh's defence is vastly superior to Down's, Donaghy and Mc Keever will take care of the Clarkes, and Coulter in terms of a scoring theat is past his sell by date. Armagh to continue their dominance , now well into its second decade, by 3 points.

Hows everyone getting on with the ticket lark

Cant see Vernon playing on Saturday - I hope I'm wrong though

[Shortso79]

Wonder will there be tickets on sale on the day / night ?

Hardly going refuse hard earned cash ?

[crossfire]

Will we be able to watch it in the  Newry Shamrocks club if we dont get a ticket.?
Have they got Setanta.?

[Shortso79]

Think you will need a ticket to get into the club - as its behind the turnstiles

[Pearse og]

Is there a bigger inter-county rivalry between the fans than Armagh/Down?

Obviously not on the field as Armagh win all the the time

I was told by a reliable source that he did a run out on Newtownhamilton field last week with the county physio and was moving very well.

You can get into the club before a game without going through the turnstiles, but the club closes about 15 minutes before a game and doesnt open until the game finishes.

Just watch out on Sat night parking around the ground, our good friends in the RUC have a wee peek for tax, insurance, etc on cars parked around the ground (times have changed ...) your not in south armagh now

[T Fearon]

Maybe they should have a peek inside the ground. I saw a prominent Armagh official's car this morning and the tax on his vehicle was two months out of date, and in fact nearly three months

[downgirl]

Is there any possibility of getting tickets outside the ground??  Is it Setanta Ireland the game is being shown on??
