Sam Maguire Qualifiers 2022

Entertainment wise Galway v Armagh will be the one everyone wants to see.

The problem both teams face is that they then come up against Derry who will smother both of them.

It's more difficult to do what Derry do in Croke Park

How much smaller is the pitch at Clones to Croke?

Someone said that Ballybofey was bigger than clones. I was listening to a podcast during the week with Aaron Kernan on it. Kernan said that Clones plays bigger than Ballybofey. Maybe Croke park is the same?

That would be a great day out, surely looking 60k+ in attendance?

Was that the pre-meeting when envelopes were exchanged? lol

I'd like to see each of these matches played in a jammed pack provincial ground rather than a 30% capacity at Croke.

If it was a triple header including minor games you'd possibly get closer to 60k no? Armagh will take literally the whole county.

What, even the unionists?

Those times would be very unusual for a Saturday and I expect gaps between games to be slightly bigger than 2 hours to account for ET. So I think someone may have been pulling your leg. But we'll find out shortly!

Maybe, but they're usually fairly clued in. Armagh ladies would be upset as they play on the Saturday as well.

Hopefully the mens and ladies games are on different days then.

Hurling QFs seem to be similar time this Saturday. I would have thought the standard times Saturday were later on
