Well there you go. Well done to London. Hard to see past my native County! Should be a novel occasion.

The Hyde making a late charge for the Connacht final again? I'd like to see the Hardy Bucks' reasoning for needing a ground over 18,750 for this final..

Dublin- Meath looks like a massacre on the scale of Dublin-Kildare
So does Mayo-London
So does Donegal-Monaghan

At least the Munster final will be relatively balanced.

Its in McHale park. Mayo will be represented in both grades in the finals and will have the most supporters in attendance, we had to travel to the Hyde last year because of Sligos neutral final rule. It is only right the mighty Mayo get to celebrate their provincial dominance and first 3 inarow since 1950 in the mecca of Castlebar.

Hon Mayo

Look Sy, ye got the Final last year. Castlebar to be honest is a fitting venue for this novel final. If only the stand itself was filled for the game it should be in Castlebar.

If Cork/Kerry had met in an earlier round, the Munster Final would been the same.

Given the semi was at the Hyde because Ruslip 'wasn't suitable' for a Connacht semi-final the same should hold true for a Connacht final involving Mayo and London

The Bucks and consistency are two polar opposites, though.

Whatever about the possible Ulster,Leinster one sided finals the Connacht final will have the poorest attendance. 12-15,000?

London wont put up as bad a showing as the likes of Offaly and Wicklow did this weekend. In all probability it will be shooting practice for Mayo but sure wasn't that the case against Galway?
