All Ireland Championship 2025.

[Armagh18]

Surely they have to cater to all the die hard Armagh season ticket holders, no?!

Missed that about Sligo, although possibly ringing a very faint bell. In that case I'll say if Armagh-Galway is in Breffni or the Hyde, the Donegal-Mayo game will end up in the other one.

How many does Carrick hold?

Should really be in Ulster given its been in Connacht the last 2 years, I'm sure if had been a game to top the group it would have been in Croker.

What province it's in shouldn't matter as long as it's a fair trip to a decent, appropriate stadium for both teams.

Galway City to Cavan is twice the trip it is from Armagh. Carrick is more or less bang in the middle if 10k is sufficient. Moving it to Breffni because it was in Sligo last year would be mad

[Ciarrai_thuaidh]

Ennis probably a better shout for Ros-Cork  alright. Gaelic Grounds will be way too big for it.

I'm hoping they might put a Cork v Rossies and Kerry v Meath double header on in Limerick. Better pitch and venue than than Portlaoise.

[AustinPowers]

Should play a prediction game. Here's my effort:

Kerry-Meath in Portlaoise
Roscommon-Cork in Limerick

Donegal-Mayo in Sligo
Tyrone-Cavan in Enniskillen

Down-Monaghan in Armagh
Louth-Clare in Portlaoise

Armagh-Galway in Cavan/Roscommon
Dublin-Derry in Clones

This sounds more  exciting than predicting the scores 

I'll have  a go later....

[tyroneStatto]

won't happen but would like to see Tyrone v Cavan at Athletic Grounds.

I'd like them to spread them around a good bit. Not a single dead rubber so show off the game around the country a bit. If that means smaller venues for each game, great!

They can't do that. Both of those games need to be played at the same time.

[Blowitupref]

My guess

Mayo v Donegal - Breffni Park or Hyde Park
Cavan v Tyrone - Clones or Brewster Park
Kerry v Meath - Portlaoise or Thurles
Roscommon v Cork- Portlaoise or Ennis
Monaghan v Down - Armagh or Omagh
Louth v Clare - Tullamore or Mullingar
Galway v Armagh - Carrick on Shannon or Breffni Park
Dublin v Derry - Clones or Breffni Park

Some parts of the traditional footballing stronghold of north galway is only 45 minutes from Carrick and 2 hours from Armagh.

Hard to get it right to suit everyone.

Down and Monaghan probably a certainty for Armagh. Cavan Tyrone Clones?

[Truthsayer]

Tyrone v Cavan is already marked for Brewster Park. Keep up folks!

[armaghniac]

Monaghan v Down will likely be there.

So you do not agree that there should be some balance in these things? I expect it was in Sligo last year because Carrick was not big enough and if a bigger venue is needed this year then Cavan is symmetrical with Sligo last year. One wonders how many 3 ticket packages were purchased for instance, apparently Armagh was the only county where these sold out (which puts into context some other people complaining about cost) and Armagh season ticket holders who might want to go, or perhaps they could just not count this game either when qualifying for AI tickets?

Never thought of that!

My guess

Mayo v Donegal - Breffni Park or Hyde Park
Cavan v Tyrone - Clones or Brewster Park
Kerry v Meath - Portlaoise or Thurles
Roscommon v Cork- Portlaoise or Ennis
Monaghan v Down - Armagh or Omagh
Louth v Clare - Tullamore or Mullingar
Galway v Armagh - Carrick on Shannon or Breffni Park
Dublin v Derry - Clones or Breffni Park

Those are not guesses - they're options!

[JoG2]

I'd prefer Derry v Dublin in Clones, but it'll be in Newry

I just can't get enough of that delicious half flat room temperature beer served in a plastic glass that Creightons do.. No one does it better
