Dublin v Tyrone

[realredhandfan]

Im in London shopping ffs, devastated,  Will there be pubs in London showing this game,  I can bring a crowd of about 10 people to the winning pub, and they'll drink the river dry if ye can show the game.

Floodlit tie to set new record attendance
-  from Setanta.com
.

The tie, which has been the subject of a huge media marketing campaign, may even attract a full house (82, 300) to the Jones' Road venue with a carnival atmosphere the order of the day.

I've notice this figure a couple of times isnt the capacity 82,500 what happened to the other 200?

The Artane Boys band were never counted in the initial crowd reckoning, but they still took seats.

So shouldn't the figure be higher again ? If it was 82,500 when they where't counted shouldn't it be 82,550 when you count them

[tayto]

i think they had to do some work which reduced the capacity, not 100% sure what it was tho.

[Over the Bar]

Possibly larger advertisng hoardings around the field meaning some seats have obstructed view??

Didn't they put a tunnel into the Hogan Davin corner that wasn't there originally? Something to do with Health & Safety for the U2 concert if memory serves...

[tayto]

Yea, that sound familiar, an extra fire escape or something.

[ONeill]

Tell everyone, cause the more people that go down stairs leaves more seats upstairs for us stewards

[Armagh ABÚ]

Is it not being shown on RTE?

[magpie seanie]

RTE - no, sure there's probably some junior C u-12 rugby match on somewhere.

[realredhandfan]

how many other sporting events with less that 80,000 spectators will get Television coverage that weekend?
