All-Ireland Club Football Final - Crossmaglen v Garrycastle

[BennyCake]

A question about season tickets? Can you cancel your ticket when the league is over, or will you be charged for any championship game your county is in?

You can cancel but you've already paid for the first championship game.

will the game be televised

[Dougal Maguire]

The All Ireland Colleges B Final involving St Paul's Bessbrook is the curtain raiser. Hopefully the Cross supporters will get in early and give plenty of support to the St Paul's lads

will the game be televised

Yes on TG4 from 16.30.

Martyimus, Maximux Cuntyius Duffyum is the ref for the replay.  Expect many cartaí buí agus dearg

[Applesisapples]

Maybe not given the whole furore over the original fixture and referees in subsequent matches I wouldn't be surprised if Marty is told to let it go unless it's really obvious.

Could some of the Cavan posters suggest somewhere to park in Town Centre within walking distance of Breffni.

My wife wants to do some shopping prior to the game.

[Denn Forever]

There is a Multi story carpark in the middle of town.  A walk up to Breffni park from there (a 10 minutes stroll) as long as you don't slip into a pub on the way.

Good stuff.
One comment ... comments on here and elsewhere in advance of the draw regarding Garrycastles midfield were along the lines of 'best midfield seen at this level in years'. They were wiped in the drawn game and while the talking-up of them before the draw was overdone, I can't see them being wiped again. The very wide open spaces of Croker along with it being a very 'fast' pitch did not suit them and I would be surprised if they did not have more of an influence in the replay.

Perhaps although I think the wide open space helped their high line as well as Cross had more work to do to get the ball upfield. I know Croker is the maximum dimensions, or close to it, any idea how much smaller Breffni Park is? Having gone to quite a few games this year the variance in pitch size around the county grounds really is something.

[Oraisteach]

OK, I know this question may irritate Shane's nose like a wire toilet brush, but any of you lads/lassies know what radio station is carrying the match?  Thanks.

Croke Park dimensions 144m x 86m
Breffni Park 143m x 86m.

Pitch size is not going to be an issue and they are a similar surface so if it is "faster" or "slower" I don't know but I don't see the oitch being the winning and losing of the midfield battle.  I would suggest that the level of work rate around the lose ball will be the winning and losing of the midfield.
