Out of curosity what will be the main route taken by the Tyronies (no smart answers Ziggy)

Depends on what part of the county u coming from...heading from omagh I'd always go fintona to fivemiletown and cross country over the mountains into clones, I presume a lot from the east head down via Monaghan town or newtonbutler?

Fuzzman if you want to go to Dublin after game. Then consider coming by Ballybay, in Newbliss take the right turn on the main street after the Clones one, this is a decent road that ends up on the Ballyhaise - Clones road (R212). Turn right on this and you end up on McCurtain street in Clones, (or parked out on the road). When leaving then just head for Ballyhaise and then Cavan and on to Dublin. There can be significant queue of traffic in Ballybay if you go back that way.

Armagh's Stevie McDonnell says that the start of the season is the best time to take on Tyrone.  Here is the video to his interview.

 rumour has it p duffy, p kernan and t kernan have made the cut, no shannon, finnian in the half back line, rest of team as surmised by most posters
at club meeting tonite we are a senior club and only received 3 family tickets all AA. so much for 10,000 family tickets

[Tyrone Dreamer]

Although I think the prices are ok the gaa should be doing more for families, family tickets should be available to all and not just a select few in each club. Whats the interest been like in clubs for the game? Will Armaghs traditionally large support fall with all the negative talk about the team going around?

[ONeill]

Yes, I was thinking about McCullagh a while ago. There's nothing really to suggest he won't start him given his importance to the side last year but for some reason he's not making most punters' starting 15.

Couldn't see the numbers attending drop to be honest.

Jeepers Rois that seems a way out of your way altogether.

I'd expect the Monaghan to Clones road to be busy then eh?
I'm bound for Dublin afterwards so wanna park on either the Ballybay or Coothill road for quick getaway.

Do any of the Armagh lads know how busy that Newtonhamilton to Ballybay road gets on match days?

When Tyrone and Armagh play I almost always go the motorway then Lisnaskea and Newtownbutler(best way to save time by avoiding traffic even though it's an extra few miles). If I was going on to Dublin I would have thought Newtownbutler Cavan would be the best roads and guaraunteed to be quiet traffic wise.

For some reason I cant see him starting. I think Penrose's display down in Mayo may have even put him ahead of McCullagh in the pecking order. If O'Neill is fit cant see Penrose starting either. Thought McCullagh had a very quiet league campaign and has had injury problems in recent weeks. Looking forward to seeing the team named on Thursday night, going to be interesting.

I think Penrose will start regardless of Mc Cullagh or O'Neill. MH won't take a chance on his NFL form deserting him for the Championship by his being left on the bench at this stage, methinks.

Are you heading to the Glenavon TD? Anyone else going? It'll be an interesting eve.
