Replying To MalsBalls:  "must've been too late to the party - none available - tried multiple times"
On the season tickets they were available from 10am in Thursday 7th May and ringfenced in a seperate allocation until Monday 11th May at 10am before they were release.

On club allocations my club in Armagh got around 260 tickets, 180 of which were standing. Expressions of interest for 600 tickets so there is going to be many unhappy members.

Seen on Facebook Scotdown breakdown of the tickets. They didnt say how many tickets were hill just that remaining tickets were hill so i presume that took the number to the same as my club in Armagh.

Dont know what the right answer is. It should be done better.
1) season ticket holders, 2) a limited number to each club as a reward and then 3) a tiered loyalty scheme based on tickets bought for previous championship games via ticketmaster. Still wouldnt keep everyone happy but perhaps a little more fair.

Looking forward to the game Sunday, all the best folks. Hopefully rain stays away and its a cracker!

Good luck to Monaghan this weekend, I hope you win it. New winners of the provinsial's give hope and excitement to the championship.

Although Kieran McGeaney getting his second trophy in 13 years managing Armagh will be a win for the underdog also ;-)

I hope both teams do themselves justice.

Team has been announced (as far as that means anything).
For the match day panel:
Louis Kelly is injured and out,
Mohan and Wylie back in, as is Max Maguire.

Interesting team named, most notably the strength of our bench. max maguire been added to the panel is justified. Shame for kelly and carolan, however to have mohan and wylie back on the bench for experience will be huge.

Roll on Sunday.

Credit to all club volunteers across the county who has been sorting tickets this last week/10 days.

A thankless job but someone has to do it. Between taking orders from members, dealing with a smaller allocation from county board, dealing with unhappy club members and then the tedious job of sitting putting each members tickets into envelopes. Maybe 150-200 envelopes to be filled and labeled.
And not to forget sitting now to collect the money for each order when they are being collected.

Might sound like a small job but I would say this last week has been tough on these people so massive thank you to whoever does it for your club.

BRING ON SUNDAY
