He was not met with the response he was fishing for

I think the young people call it "epic fail"

I got the head taking off me for calling the rossies sheep shaggers I mean stealers but sure ya no what it's not worth it.

There was lads on here during the week saying they would be surprised if the Roscommon bus could find croke park.
If I was a Mayo supporter I'd be more concerned about the amount of times the Mayo bus came home from croke park having won nothing.but yeah Mayo are a top 3 team as ye say.

Judging by the lack of knowledge you displayed on the Roscommon thread and again just now I'd say you have enough of your own trouble finding stuff without coming on here imparting your brand of expertise.

Did anyone notice if the front rows were occupier for the games this evening?

Doubt tomorrow will be anywhere near a sell out but there could be 50-55000.

Always use that but it is an absolute nightmare to get out of. There is no defined spaces so it's a free for all getting out

Terrace tickets on sale earlier. Must have only opened it? Did the clubs get any hill tickets I wonder?

SecretsOfEarth

Hill has been opened for a few days at least.
I'm in Lower Hogan, Row D tomorrow so pray that it doesn't rain.

That would be my prediction too. It'll get past the 50k mark.

Yea think so too. There will be oodles of Galway Roscommon and Mayo... but feck all kerry.

Looks like heavy rain on the way so going to wear all the gear going in and have a handy fold up bag for it if needed and a carry bag for the sandwiches etc.

Never really cared about getting wet. Used to sit on the concrete benches in mchale for years taking no notice of the rain. Properly kitted up and a newspaper and all was well.

It was gas in Limerick last weekend, a young security person asked a lady to open her hand bag and it was deffo under A4 size. What did he think she had in it? I think her knife was under her blouse along with the bomb vest which he didn't check ffs.

At least the lad in ennis was embarrassed to ask me to open my bag, looking like a serious fanatic in my mayo get-up and the kids with me.

'Looking like' you know you are one. This bag craic is stupid. Not too bad for young lads off to.see the game but what about families? Especially on wet days, rain gear a few dozen sandwiches, and various other paraphernalia used for keeping the young ones happy? All to be put in an a4 sized plastic bag.

Lovely morning pity it's not going to last with the amount of rain forecast

Bringing a bag with me for the rain gear,it's a tad bigger than the A4 size stipulated.Keeping the fingers crossed.

Are they actually stopping some bags going into Croker? The lads in Ennis and Limerick apologised for making me open it with something along the lines of 'sure I can say I looked in every bag'

Not a notion,first trip to Croker since the rule came in but I'm taking a chance,it's quite a small bag.

Dry and overcast in the capital,quite nippy.

I'd have thought around the 50k mark too, but I'm changing my mind now. They have had all sections of croker (apart from nally stand) open for at least the last week and they don't usually open upper Davin unless they need it.

There were 60k at the leinster hurling final and the Davin upper only opened a couple of days before the match, and the Hill wasn't open at all.

With the front rows of the lower tiers now open also, they must be expecting 70k+.

wirelessdude01

Just have a good feeling about today. We will see a hint of something today that hasn't really been properly let loose so far this year.

I dont understand the whole bag thing. If they search your bag and theres nothing in it you should be able to bring it in. Is it at the stadium they search or at the 'checkpoints' with the guards and stewards on the approach roads where they make sure you have a ticket?

I have a small fella (4) and was going to take him to the match today but, he was sick so couldn't. Was going to be his first match so I said i'd take him when croke park was relatively quiet.

I know he would prob drift in and out of interest in the game. Never the less I would have packed, a change of clothes, rain gear, food, drink and probably one of his teddy's (if he got overwhelmed by the noise). Theres not a hope that would fit in a < A4 size bag, not to mention if i wanted to bring my trusty poncho as well.

Sorry to dertail the thread. I think Mayo if they are any way on the ball will win this handy

wirelessdude01

I asked on the main championship thread and they said there were mental queues going ni yesterday with the bag checks but that bags were being let in.

Ap1234

I really hope Roscommon do it today, but I think Croke park will be to overwhelming for them

naughto

If caf starts we will be in bother right from off

Why do the mayo management persist with cafferkey, anytime i have seen him he's been average at best. Is there that little alternatives to him or is he actually very good and i'm in the wrong.

Shame that your young lad is unwell. I have my young lad with me to most games. Bring ear plugs for him when he does go, the noise at any match can be a bit loud for them at that age.

Cafferkey needs protection possibly even the protection being left out........

You'd imagine at this stage that an average alternative would be an improvement and at least it would recognise the issue
