Them that know in the GAA are obviously expecting a big crowd at Pearse Park in Longford next Saturday for the All-Ireland minor football replay as they’ve just announced that the match will be an all-ticket affair (full details here). They’re probably right because Tyrone are sure to bring a big, happy mob down for the game, we’ll have a large following there too and it’s also a match that could suck in a fair few neutrals as well, given the high quality of yesterday’s drawn encounter. A full house at Pearse Park should make for a great atmosphere for the replay and it’s vital that we’re there in numbers – I’d go to it twice if I could!
I don’t know if your aware of this yet W.J. but RTE are showing the game live next week as per a sport bulletin on 5-7 Live. Which is great to know as I am stuck in Galway at a wedding.
Saw that, thanks – haven’t had time today to post anything but will do so a bit later.
