Quote from: Norm-Peterson on April 10, 2024, 03:18:50 PMI think I deserve life long access to Derry v Donegal tickets. For the sole reason that I was in Clones in 2002 when Derry played Donegal during the World Cup.
It would be interesting to know if the people who call men like me "bandwagoners" where at that game? They complain yet they were probably sitting at home watching the ROI v Spain game that day.


I too was there - rarely missed a championship game with derry in 30 years.
I'm probably not going to get to the Derry v Donegal game as I'd need about 6 tickets.
Was at that game myself and countless Derry home games through the years but hold out no hope of tickets for Donegal match,as far as I hear 110 tickets for each club,where are the rest going???

Heard that, but surely it's based on membership numbers? Would Moneymore be getting the same number of tickets as 'Screen for example?
2k odd seated tickets going to the dignitaries by the looks of it

Well I heard of three clubs getting 110 tickets,so take it's the same for all,and all drawing them out as there is not enough to go around members

I remember the lad scanning my season card for attendance and had a chuckle to himself. We have come a long way

Probably most fans were at them Div 4 games will be unable to get tickets for Donegal match

In 2017, 2018 you could have walked into the athletic grounds 5 minutes before thrown in for a league game and had your pick of a seat, now they queue an hour before thrown in, success does that, well some measure of success for Armagh.  Be happy your team is doing well, don't know any real supporter not getting tickets for any Armagh game.

I would argue that the lack of success for both Armagh and Mayo has kept their fans coming back in their droves.  Funny how it works.  Tyrones fan base has fallen off significantly after winning their last all ireland

Don't think so.

Derry and Donegal not exactly queuing up to guarantee their tickets, which is rather odd as Derry has a good chance of reaching the AI final.

If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Yet there will be endless whining if Derry do reach the All Ireland.
