Tír Eoghain vs Áth Cliath - Páirc Uí hÉilí, An Ómaigh - 11/04/2010

[Aaron Boone]

Two weeks is a long time in a Div 1 relegation struggle. Who know what Dublin team will come to Omagh on Apr 10?

So many relegation scenarios out there it's crazy.

[ONeill]

Well, I'm sure Mickey'll be looking at it that it's win or bust. It's more than likely that Kerry will defeat Monaghan at home, sending Tyrone down - they could even finish last in that scenario if Derry win in Galway.

Another aspect to this game is that it's the last game before they run out against Antrim in May. If McGinley, O'Neill, Dooher etc are raring to go in 55 days time, who has worked their way into a starting berth reckoning? Have we seen enough of McCarron, Cassidy, Colm etc - will be hard to predict.

I'd like another look at Peter Harte, Coney and McCarron against the Jacks.

I was reading in Saturday night's programme that bring in division one means an awful lot in terms of the revenue you get from the NFL shareout.


Does anyone know what the difference would be from a division 1 team to division 2 ??

Even after that, playing the likes of the Kingdom, Cork, Mayo etc is great preparation for the season. Better than Tipp or Armagh.

I hope the referee isn't reading this and that it is not part of his "brief" !!


Dublin presence would boost League final coffers

Dublin may yet see the Cork jersey again if they were to qualify for the final

The GAA could lose up to €600,000 if Dublin fail to clinch a place in the Allianz NFL Division 1 decider at Croke Park on 25 April.
That's the estimated difference between gate receipts for a top flight final featuring Dublin and Cork as opposed to Mayo and Cork, which is the only other possible pairing.

Defeats by Cork and Galway have left the Metropolitans needing to beat Tyrone in Omagh on Sunday week to have any chance of reaching the decider for the first time since 1999.

If Dublin win and Mayo lose to Cork it will be a Dublin-Cork final. If Dublin win and Mayo win or draw, it will be a Cork-Mayo final.

It's unlikely that Mayo v Cork (Div 1) and Down v Armagh or Donegal (Div 2) finals would attract much more than 30,000 to Croke Park but it could soar to at least 70,000 if Dublin were involved.

Dublin have been involved in some massive League encounters in recent years, including last year's clash with Tyrone, which attracted 79,161 to Croke Park on the opening night of the competition.

It returned gate receipts of €993,556 which, remarkably, was more than the rest of the subsequent Division 1 games, including the final, put together. Those 28 games returned €805,137.
