Qualifiers round 3

[Tankie]

hopefully the crowds will turn up but i really think they should have played these on a home team basis!

why do you say that tankie? is it not good for teams to get run on croker, good for the fans and everyone concerned

i really dont care where the games are played but if i was a fan or a player i think would rather play in front of a large crowd in a smaller ground rather that in a 80% empty Croke Park for a round 3 qualifier!

I think you might have miscalculated a small bit  .   3 of the best supported teams will be there on Saturday (Tyrone, Mayo, and Down) along with 2 more that will be keen to watch their county win some silverware (Antrim and Wicklow). The only question mark is whether the Wexford people will travel to watch their footballers.   One thing is certain though, Croke Park will definitely NOT be 80% empty on Saturday.  I think you will find that most fans are happy to attend

Some people want it used only for concerts and soccer/rugby.

80% full at any one time is what i meant. there were only 8K at the tyrone game last week!

Hope the Ulster support will support each other this weekend in Croke Park.  I'd say the Fermanagh and Monaghan fans probably will, hope the Down and Tyrone fans do the same,  I know I would definitely like to see all four ulster teams progress this weekend!

As a Down fan, i'd be perfectly happy for Tyrone to go out! We've already played them and beat them so dont want to meet them again at any point!

Regardless of this i'd like to see them get beat because of their style of football and the amount of diving they do!

I'll support Fermangh and Monaghan though!

Fermanagh won't be supporting Tyrone, never the less I'll be supporting them.

Cant understand why we cant support the other Ulster teams over the weekend, I`ll be in early to cheer on Antrim and I`ll  stay on to watch Tyrone. I would like to think the the majority of Tyrone people could leave Quinns early to cheer us on for the second half.

Its a day for the yellow checked golf trousers, (Antrim) the red and white Tyrone tennants 2 in a row 95/96 T shirt and a Down paper cap from 94.  I suspect "one big slam bam Ulster can,"  with multiple success to take back to our wee province.     

[Down Gael]

Yes, I mean support. I have no trouble supporting Tyrone.
