Railway Cup 2014

[Rossfan]

Free weekend ticket offer for Season Ticket holders I see.
At least Tony F will be going anyway

Can't see too many going to the final if Ulster aren't involved.

Can't see too many going to the final if Ulster aren't involved.

See it is €10/£8 into semi final and €5/£4 into final. I assume paying into semifinal gets you in to final as well. At those prices, and if the weather is fair, you might get up to 2000 at a guess.

Seeing I have a free season ticket pass it would be a pity not to catch at least one of the games.

[AZOffaly]

The Dubs going on holiday instead of taking part in this, how convenient.

How did the Biffos get 4 on the panel?

Vinny Claffey

4 decent lads in fairness, but I'd say it's as much about availability as vinny claffey

According to the ad in yesterday's Irish News, it's £4/€5 for the semi. Competition ticket is €10/£8 which would technically gain you entry to all 3 games.

I assume the final is €5/£4 too then.

Weak enough squad without taking the Dubs into consideration. Only ourselves & Eastmeath are sending our top players really. Availability/interest seems to be at a low ebb, time of year doesn't help.

[muppet]

List for the Connacht panel?

We have O'Malley, Collins, Seànie Mac, C Shine, Cregg(er), 2 Murtaghs and our International panellist Ends Smith.
Didn't hear the rest.

8 Rossies should be enough to bate the rest of Ireland anyday.

[Keyboard Warrior]

Good to see a few Tyrone Hurlers making the Ulster panel. Not sure if that's happened before.

Mayo lads would be too good to be on the same pitch as any Rossie. Leroys, Turbo Tom's and Aidos appearance fee at the local lovely girls pageant would fall through the floor at the mere thought of been on the same pitch as the sheep lovers.

Mayo sending two downers who wouldn't make most county panels in Douglas and O'Shea.
O'shea wouldn't make a good club team

[Cunny Funt]

Douglas still unproven at this level, a handy way for Mayo management to find out a bit more about his worth. Conor O'shea struggled 18 months ago against Roscommon in the championship. Looked out of his debt that day, but so did Diarmuid O'Connor? Hard to see either get much of a run. 

[Rossfan]

 Cregg(er) and Ends Smith obviously dropped out.
Hope our 6 lads get home safe from them Northern badlands.
