Louth vs Armagh 14-06-26 Inniskeen

[illdecide]

As an Armagh man who goes to majority of games league & Championship I'm fully behind Louth for this, in fact it's master stroke and I'd do exactly the same. There is not much between the teams and when you factor in the little to no fans, the tighter pitch and disrupting the whole thing then fair play Louth, they've given themselves (or as they hope) a slight advantage on Armagh. I'd take any team to the corners of the Country If I thought it would help us win, the games been set on venue and time so lets just watch it on TV and suck it up...Would love to be there but not even gonna try and get a ticket, not gonna waaste my time.

It's like something out of Fr Ted:-We've got Armagh at home Ted where will we play them?
Oh Croke Park, Dougal. We beat Dublin there last time and it'll give us an extra match there which will be good going forward
But Ted would we not be better taking them to a wee small ground where there'll be little support?
Now Dougal didn't Antrim try that and look what happened there!
Oh right Ted

Louth have been using Inniskeen for their home AI championship games last few years which was OK with the CCCC.

and still would be if they had drawn Cork again, but not if they were playing Monaghan or Armagh.

It must give McGeeney some satisfaction to realise that he's so far inside Devlin's head that he made a decision like this

And is obviously OK with the 4Cs again despite playing Armagh.

Agreed. If Louth win and  sitting in the QF , that's all that will matter to them. 

A lot of the teams left are capable of beating each other , so if Louth  increase their  chances by playing in a ground Armagh are unfamiliar with , that could be  the difference. Nothing wrong with that

You're not wrong there 😂

I agree too.

I dont see how it increases louths chances of winning for the multitude of reasons already outlined (i would go so far as to say it advantages armagh). But their decision to make

[balladmaker]

Two GA Tickets sorted, bring it on!

Really don't get the noise around the venue, Louth played their NFL games in Inniskeen, their call so we role with it.  It's a field with posts at either end, if you're good enough the venue will hardly matter.

[BigGreenField]

A monster of both Louth Armagh and every other counties making.

Paid Louth management will do whatever they feel is needed to win, create a siege mindset and have the world crying at them.

Armagh/Louth fans unable to get tickets due to Armagh season ticket holders, all
Sold to fund senior county teams, quite a lot wouldn't darken the door of a club.

I abhor the money floating round the senior county game, doesn't matter if it has created a "better" game, it has made a lot of things worse.

Fans unable to get tickets due to other fans having season tickets or due to Louth management looking it in a smaller ground? Armagh season ticket holders hardly to blame now come on.

Rumours that it could be moved yet! Louth CB not happy

[maddog]

This is what i was thinking, would be typical if it got moved. Louth have every right to their home tie.

Louth CB looking it moved apparently.
