Do GAA clubhouses tend to have Sky Sports (or someone with the skills streaming it onto a big screen). If so then going there could be an alternative.

As far as I'm aware gaa clubs got a discount compared to a regular pub.. Would still assume it's very expensive.

Sky fee is way above what any club can afford unless bar is open 7 days a week and is busy.

At work all weekend.

What did I miss?

Did Leeroy get another black card/score a pivotal goal....and is either one Dermo's fault?

Did Kieran Donaghy act the you know what and get away with it, coz he is Kieran Donaghy and did the Kerry panelists on TSG, completely ignore it, or dismiss it as nothing?

Did Dublin Joe get the blame for some heinous act of favourtism?

On a scale of 1-10, how much sucking up to Colm Cooper, did Brolly do?

The Sky fee is based on turnover.

EDIT:
It's based on licence value.

Are GAA clubs registered as charities or businesses?

Always had the idea they were registered as charities or am I wrong.

Dorset St ticket office opens:

Tue 10-7
Wed 10-5
Thur 10-5
Fri 10-5
Sat & Sun: closed for PP holders.

Got that from my official DCB letter that came with my PP renewal in May.

The office may be open as regular GAA ticket outlet, on match days, but there'll be no one from the DCB there at weekends for PP ticket collections.

Ah grand PD thanks a million, I thought with the game being Saturday they might have closed off the PP tickets on the Thurs. Ta

Yeah crazy quiet driving all through Ros and Mayo - was interested to see houses displaying both Ros & Mayo flags contrary to debate elsewhere here. Listened to KOTF on the radio on the way down, didn't seem like much of a game with Galway getting stuck in the headlights.

Yeah, I was at a wedding in Roscommon when the Kerry/Mayo replay was on in Limerick in 2014. One half of the wedding party was from Cork/Kerry and the other half were Mayo/Roscommon. Some craic I tells ya !

In other news, my tickets are in 306R for Saturday. Under the roof-ish.

T seems to be the roof... so we'll get the drips. Glorious. [Well I'll be in Cork, but my oul lad and bro will!]

306 R is lower tier and not under any roof.

Do you mean 706 or do you have tickets in 306 row RR?

Lower tier. 306.

Roof starts around Row T. Ish. Mine are on the cusp and therefore subject to drips. That's what I was really getting at or perhaps some potential safety from a prevailing south-easterly. I've been all over the Cusack and unless I get double-letters I'm always gonna be p!ssed off!

Yer biggest enemy is the breeze, I've seen the whole lower deck scatter for cover on the worst of days .. yer right on the rule of thumb on the drip zone tho

Some bad news. People as far back as HH get wet in the lower tier.

I was in 306 AA on Sunday and we were drowned.

R is extremely exposed to the elements.
Nice spot to watch the match though, especially in section 306.

Edit: And that was with the wind blowing towards the Hogan. Still bring an auld poncho and a black sack with you and you'll be grand.

Oh I know. I'm just appreciative really that the tix aren't down in Row B as they have been for every sold out game the last few years. 2015 AISF one and two were a disaster.

It's not bad news. I know well where I'll be. In an ideal world I'd always be in MM.

The roof in the Hogan must extend out further so as I was in 332 Row W and it was perfect last Sunday, even a good few rows in-front of us were staying dry.

It does.

The Hogan was changed to incorporate a longer roof and glazing to help sunshine hit the grass.

It's criminal that the Cusack roof was ever allowed to be that short. But then again in 1992 I'm sure they were just delighted to get it built.

Monaghan will be Dublins toughest test in a long time on Saturday.  Perhaps their defence is not as solid as it used to be but their forwards can cause alot of damage.  McManus and McCarron

It is as much to do with the alignment of the stadium as anything else.The Hogan is on the west side facingt virtually east while the Cussack is facing in the opposite direction. Rain and wind in this county comes from the west or south west 99% of the time, The natural action of the wind will dive the rain into the CusacK stand and over the Hogan away from where patrons are sitting. What thsi means that while the roofs could be virtually similar while only a few row of the Hogan will be effected by rain half the saets in the Cussack will get driving rain into patrons face and onto there chest and legs. Any Hogan patrons effected will be protected by there seats and only there head and upper body will be hit by rain

Oh just had my car keyed in a public car park here - flying the Dublin flag maybe just a coincidence...

Anyways the security people have footage but I have to go to the local gendarmerie to formalise the whole thing .. it'll be nice to make this ****ers acquaintance..
