Football Quarter Finals

Honestly wouldnt give a flying fcuk where the game is as long as we win.
If as expected Dublin are on the Sturday & Cork the Sunday that would leave only Galway & Armagh not guaranteed a trip to CP.
Both teams have been there enough times so IMHO the result is all that matters, not the venue

...as long as capacity is adequate at the alternative venue.

Dunno fullback, would've liked some of the younger players (e.g Toner,Vernon, SK,PK) to get a feel for Croker before a POTENTIAL semi with the Dubs. I know the Kernans have had experience with Cross but there's a big difference between that and 82,500 in the place and it rocking a la 2002.

I assume that as their is no home advantage in the all Ireland series that the hill tickets will be split evenly between the counties

The Dublin game has to be a stand alone game. are the other q/fs not the following weekend?

IF DOWN WIN and say were drawn against Armagh they'd probably fix it for clones. It would just be like an ulster championship game rather than all ireland quarter final. I'd prefer croke park, it's that long since we got a championship match there, it would be great to get 2 in it if we can beat wexford this week...having dan gordon available would be a major boost to Down and I think we can make the quarters for the first time if we have him

Deel Rover,

Likewise, us Dubs are praying for Mayo in quarters. Alot of taped post match trash talking to motivate the team and the supporters.

Fully expect you to beat you Tyrone.

Should we bother turning up?

I think Armagh's game will be in Clones no matter who they draw - even Kerry - which would be good craic.

If Galway don't get Croker then they will get a Connacht venue.
