Official -Final is in the Hyde.

That should end a most of the nonsense talk now.

Ros may well get a Hydeing in the Hyde.
Afterwards Syf may well Hyde.

Connacht final attendance capped at 18,000 according to the pdf, some of the reasons are a joke, but could Sligo get a home Connacht final now after this

I expect attendance will be up to 25k once the main negotiator for Ross and John Prenty finish up....... but having it at 18 will hype up the early ticket sales

Think sligomhave bigger issues than capacity to overcome  before needing to have this discussion....

That's the current capacity of the Hyde. With an electronic ticketing system that bounces up to 23k. We're supposed to be getting the use of a mobile system from Tullamore.

Ticketing system can't increase capacity surely.

18870 current capacity  according to CC

And you're not a teeny weeny bit embarrassed about being helped out by a county from a neighbouring province!

Reading between the lines. For now that current capacity is fine for a Galway v Roscommon final but in the years ahead if Mayo reach a final the capacity of about 25k will be required if Hyde park is to host it

But for this year, will Roscommon be able to host their home Super 8 game in the Hyde?

Imagine so if they reach the Super 8. As Connacht champions their home game would be v Leinster runners up or round 4 winner and if Connacht runners up their home game would be v Ulster winner or round 4 winner the crowd at that would be no higher than this Connacht final v Galway unless of course the round 4 winner happens to be Mayo?

Agreement says we're not getting any more Connacht Finals until the issues of new wall/entrance, permanent digi turnstiles and dressing rooms are sorted out.
Hyde can fit in at least about 28k.

We might not make many Connacht finals in the years ahead.

Yes and it seems those things needs to be done in order to increase the capacity and right now the powers to be feel the set capacity is fine for a Galway v Roscommon final.

We might not make many Connacht finals in the years ahead.

Hard to know where Mayo will be in the years ahead. Its currently the Longest period for Mayo to not reach a Connacht since the 70s i believe and who would have predicted that after 5 in a row in 2015?

Any of the Galway posters want to put up a decent match report?
