Neutral venue. Act like ye've been here before, lads.

it will be in croke park on either sat evening aug 2nd or sunday august 3rd.
mayo v armagh in minor q/final may be played same day/evening. It is possible that the GAA may schedule them on same day, which means this could could be part of a treble header.

Mayo v Armagh
Armagh v Meath
Mayo v Cork/Sligo

Jez that'd be one long day in Croker for Mayo supporters and most of us have to go back home after that!

And there's no street lighting in the bogs either.

I'm not long back from Croke Park and tbh its very difficult to assess Meath on today's game because Dublin are just frightening the pace and power they play at. Its Dublin's to lose as they have the best team and players by far, so where does that leave Meath? Armagh certainly have nothing to fear as I'd put Meath on par with ourselves and maybe our momentum can carry us through a tight game.

I'd say bookies will have both teams at 1/1

May be only way GAA can get croke park one third full that weekend, either that or garff B decides to show up and do a set between the games.

Sorry to hijack thread, but it does seem logical from a mayo and armagh angle, but then again logic and the GAA..............

We usually stick it behind the stand on match-days but we set it up at the stand entrance so ye could get a good look at it. Plus the players could see it from the field. Probably distracted them with all that gleaming chrome.

Has to be a triple header in Croker (3 is the magic number these days) as was the case in 2011 with Armagh minors unlucky to lose to Roscommon, followed by Roscommon snrs unlucky to lose to Tyrone and the final game being the memorable Donegal V Kildare clash which was settled by Cassidy's mammoth point at the end of extra time.

I hope this is the case, if it is

mayo v armagh
armagh v meath
mayo v cork/sligo

Then Mayo V Cork/Sligo would have to be moved from sunday, should not be such a big deal.

We have been here once before, but it was 11 years ago, so something of a distant memory.

I'm sick of Croke Park.

We fully intend to ensure you dont have to go to often this summer.
