    I'd say they mean 60,000 tickets between all county boards whether they're competing or not.
    yeah spot on, my mistake.

    Does a co board season ticket give entitlement to buy ticket?

    It did in 2017 but when i asked last week the offer is not there for 2018 season ticket holders...very convenient??

    the last day was particularly bad because the cork and lmk traffic met in Portlaoise, shouldn’t be as bad next week

    Just go early. It's All Ireland Hurling Final Day - who knows when you'll experience one again so go in plenty of time.

    I live in Kildare and the bad news is that the road works are much worse now than a couple of weeks ago as the go all the way down to the Waterford M9 exit now.

    Below is the best option

    Leave the M7 at Emo/Ballybrittas/Monasterevin Exit 15
    Then its Monasterevin to Rathangan to Allen/Kilmeague to Prosperous to Rathcoffey to M4 (dont go into Maynooth its another bottleneck)

    Put Liffey Valley into your Google Maps when you leave the M7 and once you get to Rathangan it will send you this way.

    Go to Croke Park via M50/M1

    Its only about 15 minutes longer than M7/N7 pre roadworks and on match day with the road works will save you at least an hour!

    Are we quietly optimist that Limerick can do it.

    Watching Derek McGrath and Michael Duignan on RTE on Sunday night ....both of them tipped Galway. Considering Michael Duigan has got it wrong for Limerick
    all year and maybe Derek McGrath has a fear of Galway from a Waterford aspect..........could they be actually wrong?

    What do Limerick boardies think....and discuss.

    Yea feel we are in with a good chance. Galway have looked tired and really it should be Clare we playing. There is a big difference to 07 in that there is little hype. Just that we have realistic chance if things go our way. We dont want to give Galway a big lead but if we are within 3/4 points at last 10 min then we have excellent chance

    Build up has been very low key hasnt it? I mean, not just Link keeping the head down. Very little press so far, buildup hasn't seem to even really started.

    I'm a bag of nerves already mind you! Just thought it strange been so little talk in national outlets

    No interviews from players means the press don’t have much to report on. Build up will start in earnest from Wednesday onwards

    Plenty to report on. They're creative writers, surely pull a bit more together than they have!

    Very low key, people must have taken on board what Kiely and Dowling said after the Cork match...I think after 45 years I'll believe that Limerick can do it after the match is won. So many false dawns over the years but Galway are there for the taking as long as Limerik don't s*@t the bed.

    Limerick's half back line have to be much better for the final. If they win their respective battles, I think Limerick will come out on top. Cian Lynch needs to step it up a bit too as we all know what he's capable of. I'm expecting big games for Gillane, Mulcahy and Tom Morrissey. Been excellent all year and now is their time to shine on the biggest stage imaginable.

    Come on Limerick!!

    The hype train won't start until towards the weekend.

    In the general context of things, it has been a fairly condensed year for both codes.

    I totally agree re our hb line i thought they were poor in semi but funnily enough think the galway hfs will suit us more as the Galway lads though top class wont have the speed of the cork lads. Im enjoying the build up though it is low key

    The calendar has ruined the natural flow to the championship.

    Yup. It's weird.

    There was no buzz leading up to the SF last weekend. Compare that to last year? Night and day!

    Not a sniff of tickets. With the other semi gone to a replay the turn around time is very short. Also a lot of ticket holders seem to be looking to swop for football tickets.

    Have you driven through Limerick City or County over the last 10 days..?
    Do you think the green and white flags/bunting/banners etc are to welcome the pope..??;)

    P.S. im really glad that Limerick 95FM have got their house in order for a change (so far) lets hope it stays that way.!!

    Most clubs start distributing tickets tonight, so expect tickets to start 'appearing' from tomorrow onwards. Still, they will be scarce.
