I expect a big Westmeath support in Salthill on Sunday seeing the game is sold out,The normal Galway following of 3 to 6 or 7 thousand will be greatly outnumbered.Lets hope they don't have too great an influence on the result.

Replying To Galway2001:  "Brendan Griffin from Kerry is the referee for Sunday i dont remember him doing a Galway match before whats he like?"
He has long sidelocks, a long handlebar moustache and usually wears Raybans

Kickitout how you see Sunday going and potentially after that I enjoy your views before games don't see any post this week

I'm still grappling with the format so I have a question: the loser of Galway v Westmeath are they out of it? Or some other back door?

15k of the tickets sold are Westmeath supporters apparently, Matk McHugh in fairness to him has that county believing again, if Westmeath was playing Galway last year you'd be lucky to see 2k Westmeath Supporters turning up to Salthill.

Loser is still in it. Has a game against the winners of the losers round being played this weekend.
Easiest way to think of it is, two wins you're in the quarters, two losses you're out.
