Our eardrums. They are strong favourites.

You'd fill the place twice over for that on it's own.

To be fair, Jedward is a step up from Brush!

Damien Dempsey for the Kerry game is a decent enough one.

Have to hand it to the Dubs on this one. This is the kind of 'outside the box' thinking that is missing at HQ and around the rest of the country.

Good to see the GAA finally putting a bit of effort into promoting the games. Its a step in the right direction. Hopefully it works out and it can be extended to more games going forward.

I hope we have Brush booked for a few home games in Navan anyway.

Don't diss the Brush Maguire!

Joking aside it is to be commended the effort that is being made. I think it will be a success and for the guys who fought to get this it deserves to be one. Other counties may follow suit in due course.

Hope they move it to the Fri or Sat night. Better atmosphere under lights, and more Mayo people likely to come up and stay the night and make a weekend of it, rather than if it was on the Sunday.
Why would they be considering the Fri night over the Sat night?
I presume a lot of people will take Friday off work anyway to make a 4-day weekend of it so it should bring a big crowd anyway, but for those who are working on Friday it will make it harder to make the journey up.
