4000 Armagh Fans Duped Into Buying Tickets For Nally Stand In Carrickmore

Thousands of expectant Armagh supporters were said to be beyond anger after it emerged a Carrickmore entrepreneur sold 4000 tickets to Orchard fans for the Nally Stand which now resides at the Carrickmore GAA ground.

Armagh, who hadn't appeared in Croke Park in decades, panic bought tickets at the last minute from a man in a green and yellow jersey, promising them 'deadly views of the field' and brilliant parking for the game against Meath earlier.

Armagh fanatic and Portadown native Anthony Fearon found it hard to put his anger into words:

"I just can't believe it. My satnav told me to follow this route north to Carrickmore even though I was fairly sure Croke Park wasn't that direction but we hadn't been there in years. The wife and I even ate sandwiches from the boot in Pomeroy. The penny really should have dropped."

The Nally Stand was bought by the Carrickmore club almost ten years ago but had been operating at a loss until this weekend.

Carrickmore PR Yash McCallan admitted:

"It was some coup. We had 4000 Armagh fans packed into the stand at 3:30pm generating us some £80'000 income. The majority of them hadn't been born the last time they played in Croke Park so it was a fairly expectant crowd. We sort of felt bad and put on an U16 ladies game between Greencastle and Kildress."

Meanwhile, Fearon admitted that the journey wasn't wasted as he vowed he'd be back in mid Tyrone to taste again the delicious scones provided at half time by Conor Gormley.

Armagh won.

Obviously from the pen of O'Neill

Just about the toughest draw available.Now lets see Brendan prove he is a top manager.

Spoken like a true fan

So do you want a win or a loss?

[T Fearon]

I want to see our manager do the job he is his paid to do
Deliver results

[AZOffaly]

But so far he has done what is required. But you're not happy because it's 'not convincing'. You have some sense of entitlement, and are certainly not a ''supporter'.

Guys, let Tony talk shite if he wants to. Rogers has done what has been asked thus far. In fairness he is just in the door. The squad needs new players. As many have pointed out they are hardly english premier league quality and look how well those teams have done in Europe. If Rogers makes the CL group stages and then the EL, wins the Scots Premiership and a domestic cup it will be a good year, thats being a realistic Celtic fan.

They aren't even championship quality. People need to wise up.

Think Roger's has done a great job considering the bag of sh1te he's been landed with.

Who apart from Wanyama and Forster was EPL standard in the team that beat Barcelona?.Who is EPL standard in Lincoln Red Imps team? As I said.previously Celtic have no excuse for not qualifying for Group Stages.The team is not convincing thus far.

[imtommygunn]

You have so much hate in you. Even when you are doing what should be positive in supporting your own team it's still there. 

[T Fearon]

When the team is performing and achieving commensurate with its ability I will acknowledge  this.It's not happening at the moment.Another major signing is imminent.It is time for delivery on the enormous investment made in the manager and Toure,Dembele etc.

Jesus!!! Barcelona??? Ffs... Every  team has a bad day and a minnow wins.... 99 out of a hundred the result is different...

Now get fecking real Tony

[heffo]

You have some sense of entitlement, and are certainly not a ''supporter'.

We should get Rodgers & Jamie Clarke both in at the same time to explain themselves to Tony

[naka]

Tony
Celtic are struggling
But frig we all want them in the champions league
Hopefully Sinclair in as well as a defensive midfielder

[T Fearon]

Thats the point.They shouldn't be struggling or losing to part time teams.If Celtic had achieved the results in Europe this season to date under Ronny would anyone say he's doing a good job?

[southderryman]

They are scraping through and do not inspire confidence.Also I do not know any real Celtic supporter who does not expect or indeed demand Champions League group stage qualification this season.Expectations have been raised and a huge volume of season tickets sold solely on the appointment of Brendan Rogers and the expectation he will deliver.

I keep asking you and keep avoiding answering the question..... What's a real Celtic supporter?

I know laodss of supporters who don't expect CL qualification with this current squad.
