Dublin Hurling

Lads this is just hype generation and demand management. Make people think they are scarce and then flood the market and they get snapped up.
Its clever by HQ!
Dublin will still struggle to bring 25k whereas Cork will bring 45k which still is not a full house.
I got my tickets the minute they went on sale but I would not panic.

Replying To slayer:  "Some great posts here on the Dublin hurling forum. Have to say in my opinion it was the best any side has played against us in the John Kiely era. We have had defeats, but not with a man extra and ferocious aggression that Dublin brought. The defending was truly heroic and the Manager was brave in decision making.

We have had a run of great success and it has been amazing. But (and nothing against them) it wouldn't be great for hurling to see the game revert back to the big three. Three great hurling counties but it is healthy to see success spread around. It is always good to see Clare, Wexford, Galway and other counties step forward and in the last ten seasons of hurling, Liam has gone outside the traditional big three on seven occasions.

For that reason I hope Dublin keep the feet on the ground and just focus on Cork. Should be a cracker.

But for now, well done on a massive performance. Fully deserved and good luck from here."
I have to say Slayer, the Limerick fans at the game and online have been so gracious in defeat. Great to see them all wish us well, and a lot of them genuinely happy for us. Top class, Limerick fans. Top class.

Thanks for compliments on support..I'd love to see the dubs go on and win now and give the hurling dubs what we have enjoyed in last few years..

I agree - and I also think the Cork hurling fans will greatly outnumber the Dublin hurling fans.
Possibly 2:1

The Hill will be colourful to say the least.

Hopefully we put in another good and spirited performance.

Will Crummey go all the way to the DRA? Nothing to lose, has he?

Seems to be par for the course. Distraction if you ask me. Need to move on and focus on Saturday 5.

Most GAA people are in my opinion. You get a few from each county/club that aren't, but most are good folk.

Gone for a good few years. Even before Covid. Used to be a good day and way of spotting new chaps on horizon. Great cure after the New Years !

Sounds like both counties having similar issues with uncertainty over club allocations. Seem to be making it as difficult as possible for club members to apply never mind get them.

I reckon too that one issue is that if you are given a code through club that TM sometimes refuses to accept if you already have your own account, or just use regularly.
