Will the fans be allowed on to the field at the end of the match in Clones?

Just noticed that in all the provincial deciders so far this year the crowd have bee allowed on to the pitch after the game Even some of the first round games and semi-finals(Down fans after match in Newry and Ferm. Fans in Omagh). Will it be the same in Clones The last final played there in 2003 did not allow it and certainly not in 2002. dDd Tyrone fans go on to the pitch after the Ulster final last year?

Is it "allowed" anywhere? Its just that stewards at different grounds enforce the rule with more vigour than others at times.

I'd say if Fermanagh win there'll be difficulty keeping them off it !

Croke Park couldn't keep Tyrone off the pitch in 2003 and 2005. They couldn't keep Greencastle off in 2007.

Clones wouldn't have a hope in hell against Fermanagh.

Officially fans are not allowed on the pitch for insurance purposes. However, if there is deemed a health and safety risk by stopping a mass influx of fans onto a pitch the stewards have to decide is it safer to stop them or permit them on the pitch. As far as I know county boards get fined if their respective supporters invade the pitch en masse.
