is it a double header in Croke?

No Milltown. That would have been the right way to do it. It's KK v Cork next week and Tipp v Waterford the week after. If you go to gaa.ie you can have a look in the ticket section. 45 euro - pretty steep and with the service charge it's practically 50 euro. I can't see them getting much of a crowd. The Galway minors must be on next week as they are playing Kilkenny. Looks like another very strong minor team to me.

i haven't missed an All Ireland final in nearly 15 years, before that I'd have been to one every other year. very rarely would there not be a Galway team in the final. although playing a Kilkenny team will be tough enough. did they win (kilkenny) last year?

just checked, they have missed three finals since 92!!!!

[Asal Mor]

Galway won it last year and if they win it this year ( I think they will) it will be six All-Irelands in 11 years at this level. I don't know where they are all going though. I read somewhere that Joe Canning was the only lad on the team from our double minor winners of '04 & '05. Very strange and disappointing.

John Lee captained the hurling team in 04

The attendances all year have been poor. Don't see why the GAA could not do a double-header as 82,000 would be comfortable for both games. The sight of a closed or one-third filled hill is a sure sign that the money is not floating about (event Dublin Tyrone yesterday). Perhaps even taking the games out of Croker on a one-off basis could give them a - Thurles or even Limerick for the novelty.

If tree was a double header they also need to accommodate the two minor semis.
