It was 1:30pm this time last year when they confirmed the venues for the round 3 games, looks like lunch is a little longer this time?
Away for a few pints to stick on the expenses.

Three suggestions for the group stage:

1) Given that Dublin are guaranteed home advantage for the final three rounds(while every other county must play 3 away games) all 3 Dublin group games should be away games.

2) Provincial champs should win any tie break.  There needs to be some reward for winning a provincial.  Instead there appears to only be a handicap from extra games and less rest.

3) Likewise provincial finalists are equally handicapped.  Therefore they should win any tie break with #3 or #4 seeds.

Surely that means Armagh v Galway on the Saturday then going by some of the posts above where Armagh won't host on the same day they play?

Stewards/ground staff will all be at the Armagh match I assume.

Quote from: armaghniac on June 02, 2025, 04:31:29 PMYou can't keep on playing "neutral" games much closer to one team than another

Fully agree! The logical conclusion following on from that being that Breffni is significantly closer to Armagh than Galway...


There is no question about this. The venue should be Cavan Town. Both Carrick and Sligo are twice as close to the nearest point in Galway as they are to the nearest point in Armagh. I know Galway is a much bigger county but it would be very unfair to Armagh followers to take this game back in to Connacht for a third year running. 

And they're also much further from the furthest point in Galway than anywhere in Armagh

It's actually soul destroying to read these mind numbingly stupid arguments for the third year in a row

They literally put the games the same time distance from both county grounds both years. Sounds like they'll do the same again

Doubt there'll be too many from Gort or Portumna going to this game for some reason.

I remember two years ago on here some balloon was arguing that only the north east sliver of Galway county should count in deciding the venue as the rest is all hurling. I assume that was you? Was wondering when you'd show up

You should visit Connemara sometime if you're unaware of it. Beautiful part of the country

Anyway as someone said Carricks a great town. A Saturday evening game and a pissup amidst all the stags and hens after would be perfect. We can all take it handy on our respective two hour journeys home on Sunday

Edit: or Cavan. Maybe less craic but hey ho.

Mayo swinging Dr.Hyde park for the Donegal game. No that is actually an unfair advantage worth discussing

Yeah, I'd be pissed with that if I was a Donegal supporter. With the lack of decent capacity grounds in the North west it was either going to be Breffini or the Hyde.
