I and many others have followed Armagh when it was 1 day out a year. Its not so long ago Tyrone were in the same boat. Armagh have always had a loyal core of fans look at the McKenna Cup and League. But there are many factors here not least the ticket price. But hey I'm glad the recession and immigration hasn't hit Moortown.
Im glad this game has shown the Armagh "faithful" up for what they are. Their first championship game back in the Athletic Grounds and no buzz, no capacity, no sell-out and no soul. If truth be told, the Armagh Buckfast Brigade would prefer to go to Clones every year for the "craic". I pity the Armagh team, they deserve more respect.
The recession will be a far distant memory whenever the few true Armagh supporters, and many more Down supporters are making their way to the game, their sunshine loving compatriats will be staying on in the pub to watch their heros in Wembley. Likewise, in Slane, the Buckfast birgade will be in full voice. Unfortunately for the likes of McKeever, McDonnell and co they will feel outnumbered in their championship baptism of The Athletic Grounds. Best Supporters Ever? Dont make me f*cking laugh!
