Will it be a sell out?

GAA obviously don't expect so as it's general admission, find your own seat or spot on the terrace.
We can't have a Connacht Final because of turnstile issues etc and we're limited to 18,000. For the match against Laythrum all the H and S stuff was in full flow, allocated seats, separate entrances for stands and terraces etc. Attendance 8k.
Now for an AI Qtr Final it's all in and everyone for themselves.
If 18,001 turn up will the last lad be locked out?

I agree with you there Rossfan. I'm sure the Hyde would have held the crowd for the Mayo Galway game too, I know there was 19000 and something at it, but I've been to Hyde Park and there were bigger crowds. I dunno, we're not all 20 stone and 7 ft tall.

Is it really general admission? Crazy if true. 20k turned out for Tyrone v Cyyyavan last week. What do they do if the same crowd turns out on Saturday??

Can easily hold 23-25k under H&S guidelines. In fact that is what it was set for against Donegal last year. Would say 17-18k will be actual turnout.

[Rossfan]

Cavan/Tyrone official attendance was 11,258.
Anyway the Hyde can hold about 28,000 but due to turnstiles and narrow access to stand side etc has a H&S limit of around 18k.

They also have Kerry Mayo as general admission which should definitely close to sell out. However as a result of doing general admission they have to restrict the capacity down to something like 30/32,000 under health and safety. So Hyde park probably has a lower official capacity for this game than normal too. Would imagine there'll be a very big Roscommon support there?

The reason they gave in the article I saw for general admission in Killarney was because they couldn't accommodate all the season ticket holders in the stand.

Super 8 last year the attendances were pretty poor and so was atmosphere at some of the games
Hop Ros can win, but they have very poor record against Tyrone. Actually they have poor record
against all top teams. Previous teams were just too nice. These lads seem a bit tougher.

It's general admission as in you can go anywhere in the ground. But it's still all ticket.

Apologies, you are correct. Wikipedia originally said 20k.

Careful what you wish for Farr
Tyrones obviously expecting a stroll in the Hyde Saturday going by their comments here.
Maybe we should give a walkover and spare them the expense of travelling.

And spoil their day out, a bit of sledgeing, a spin in the bus and a sing song.

[Main Street]

Tyronies are tolerable until they win a game or two.
