Armagh wil bring at least 2000 to 3000 for this one I'd say.

We barely brought that many to Cross last Sunday. Can't see 3000 heading up to Donegal, for what's still just a league game at the end of the day. I reckon Armagh have a solid base of about 1000 that head to most away games, maybe throw on another 500 because of the wee bit of extra importance for this game and you'll have your lot.

What about the recession???

Plus all those with holiday homes etc in Donegal...

with loans from anglo irish with negative equity, no proof of income for the south armagh boys. not such a good deal now?

I'd say that now paddy ,o has got his last cross fixture and the politics out of the way we'll see an end of hearty and the hitherto anonymous kernans. time to move on 

[J70]

Would Eunan's not be kicking up a bit of a fuss if it's switched? In the past two seasons, big games against Derry and Kerry have been played in Letterkenny, so unless Armagh are planning on bringing two or three thousand or more, I can't imagine it will be switched. Definitely all-ticket though!

Was Mayo not big enough for ye?

I'd totally forgotten about that (maybe I was trying to blank out the surrender of a nine point lead that cost us our Div 1 place!). And me with half-Mayo blood too!

Well with the Mayo blood in ya you should be guranteed to get to the odd final but don't expect to win any

[TacadoirArdMhacha]

Lads as far as i know patrons under Health & Safety laws are not longer allowed to stand on grass/gravel banks to watch a game when a certain crowd is expected, i know that is the main reason why our own ground was nominated for the new grant "stadia Safety" as there were grass/gravel banks all over the place. Maybe someone else may be able to clarify this but i can remember a McKenna cup match at our pitch last year and the stewarts had the banks cordoned off and directing everyone to the terracing.

If this is the case then the capacity in Letterkenny will be slashed dramtically

What about Navan though?

[ogshead]

Does nobody want hearty in goals any more?

Will some of you Cross boys please humour Lawnseed!! He's desperate to get a reaction from ye's!!

Nah, read some of his other ramblings and the incoherenc of it makes my head hurt so I'll leave him at it

[PatDaly]

and the referee will be Joe McQuillan from An Cabhan. I don't think he did Armagh any harm against Kildare in the recent game over in Cross so hopefully this is one less thing to worry about.

Getting tickets...........who do we play in nets............is AK a CHF..........will Clarke, McKeever & Vernon be fit???
And that's just for starters........it's a tough job following Armagh y'know.

[rionach 4]

I know it's Donegal's home fixture and we have no right here in Armagh to tell them where to play their matches  but it's a disappointment that it's in Letterkenny. I am relaibly told that letterkenny holds at most 5/6 thousand.My information came from a friend in letterkenny who knows the caretaker of the ground very well. It means a lot of people are not going to see the match . Had it been in Ballybofey it may well have attracted a crowd in the region of 12 to 15 thousand. Most likely it will be all ticket and armagh will probably only get about 1500. I hope I get a ticket because the upside is that letterkenny is a great town . It's worth a sat night stay over and make a real good weekend out of it.

No, Joe has been good to Armagh in the past. And the talk in the Donegal Democrat is that the game is being moved to Ballybofey, so I'll just take my hat off on that particular count and tuck in. See y'all in Mac Cumhaill Park.

Lawnseed should grow up, the grass is very slow this year.

[mountainboii]

Clarke and Dyas out for Armagh I see.

Whatever about the Donegal game, both a bit worrying in the longer term. There seems to be no concrete return date for Clarke as the Derry game edges closer. And Dyas can't seem to play two consecutive matches without picking up another niggle.

[mackers]

I think we're going to have to prepare ourselves for a year without Clarke..........he doesn't seem to do one or two month lay offs............
