This is a start. And hopefully will go off ok, and more fans allowed in July. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2517 - 28/06/2021 20:32:26 2354351 Link
This might sound ridiculous but this will be a big blow to Dublins chances if it happens tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 28/06/2021 20:40:15 2354355 Link
Replying To Viking66: "8000 in Croker will be like 200 in OMoore" Good news Viking better than nothing and at least we are moving in the right direction. Let's hope this is the start of it. updwell (Limerick) - Posts: 817 - 28/06/2021 20:45:36 2354357 Link
Replying To updwell: "Good news Viking better than nothing and at least we are moving in the right direction. Let's hope this is the start of it." It's good news Updwell for sure. A step in the right direction. Hopefully it works out well and there can be more allowed to the matches later in the summer. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 11736 - 28/06/2021 21:36:15 2354380 Link
Great news - now to get a ticket! lochgarmanabu (Wexford) - Posts: 1020 - 28/06/2021 23:19:53 2354410 Link
Replying To tiobraid: "This might sound ridiculous but this will be a big blow to Dublins chances if it happens" I'm sure beating Galway isn't Mattie Kenny's only ambition for his team. He'll want to contest and win a Leinster title at least - what better preparation than playing in Croker against one of the top teams? baire (Galway) - Posts: 1785 - 28/06/2021 23:54:08 2354420 Link
Replying To Viking66: "8000 in Croker will be like 200 in OMoore" Well, a few hundred snooker supporters made a dim in the crucible like no other! I doubt I'll be in attendance as I'm only a member of the great unwashed but if I was, I would have 18 months of anger built up to get off my chest so would roar my gut out :) StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1732 - 28/06/2021 23:55:03 2354421 Link
Great news. Delighted to see it. Greengrass (Louth) - Posts: 6031 - 29/06/2021 00:01:10 2354423 Link
Is there bad news again now with opening up of pubs and indoor dining being more than likely delayed..please god they leave supporters attend and try and get more into grounds..I hope I'm wrong.. CTGAA10 (Limerick) - Posts: 2208 - 29/06/2021 00:07:08 2354427 Link
Good job it's not the football semifinals as they wouldn't get 8000 tickets sold…. Who in their right minds would pay in to see that rubbish ForeverBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 1904 - 29/06/2021 05:56:36 2354439 Link
Good news definitely if a bit too early for me personally. I'll wait until I've been fully vaccinated. But for those who do go I hope you get to enjoy two cracking games. Maroonatic (Galway) - Posts: 1060 - 29/06/2021 09:00:58 2354457 Link
This could also be an opportunity for the Leinster Council to make some sort of gesture of thanks to front-line workers. I'm sure they could come up with a few ideas Maroonatic (Galway) - Posts: 1060 - 29/06/2021 09:43:11 2354464 Link

If Dublin beat you in the semi they will be very hard to beat in the final whoever they are playing. Then in an AISF anything can happen.

Replying To tiobraid: "This might sound ridiculous but this will be a big blow to Dublins chances if it happens" Unfortunately i agree with you. BUT.... Dublin's record against Galway since they've joined the Leinster championship is outstanding. Someone can correct me here if I'm wrong but i think its: Dublin 3 Wins Galway 3 Wins 1 Draw Not to mention 1 of those was a comprehensive Leinster final victory. And every single time we have been written off. So, although I still expect a Galway win, there is hope. There's always hope. UP THE DUBS!

You sound bitter because Cavan are in division 4. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2517 - 29/06/2021 12:26:09 2354555 Link

No not bitter … just realistic… football is pathetic ForeverBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 1904 - 29/06/2021 12:50:40 2354569 Link
Replying To ForeverBlue2: "Good job it's not the football semifinals as they wouldn't get 8000 tickets sold…. Who in their right minds would pay in to see that rubbish" I'd bet money they would sell 8000 tickets for the football semi final if that was the capacity.
