Is it for section 336? those are the only ones they have on tickets.ie. Wouldn't like that section as it's right in the corner next to the hill/nally.

If you want better tickets you'll have to be like the rest of us and become a member of your local club. Otherwise just take what you get

I was a member of my local club and the tickets we used to get were terrible if you could get them at all. I gave up after that. You will have no issues getting them even on the day.

Next year you should get a season ticket. Gets you into all the league games, home and away as well as the first championship game of the season. Then it guarantees you a ticket smack bang in the middle of the lower tier in the Cusack stand for games in Croke Park. Also, each game after the first championship game is a fiver cheaper than normal.

Ladies were beaten by the Dubs in Carlow today. 3-9 to 1-6 it finished. Let's hope that's the only loss to Dublin this year :pac:

Craig Dowling

lets hope
quietly confident about next week

My heart skips a beat every time I think about the match. Can't wait

PaddyCar

any word on how training is going??

Browning2010

I got section 308 in Cusack on tickets.ie which are grand seats Imo.......

Hammer Archer

Section 304 for me. They seem to have shunted the season ticket holders to the right a bit from the Kildare game for some reason. Won't be under cover either.

rpurfield

weeks dragging in altogether ffs

I'd doubt it. They usually announce it if it's a training session open to the public. I'd say the management are trying to keep the players from any sort of hype. I notice they sent Geraghty to the launch of the final in Croker instead of a starting player. Also, it looks as if there's been a ban on the players using Twitter as the majority of them haven't tweeted since the start of the month. No interviews with the players are being done either. The interview with Mickey Burke that was published this week was supposedly carried out a couple of weeks back.

Minor team's been announced for Sunday. McEntee and Kenelly are back from injury.

Meath minor team v Dublin
1 Jack Hannigan (Donaghmore/Ashbourne)
2 Declan Smyth (Dunsany)
3 Brian Power (Ratoath)
4 Shane Gallagher (Simonstown Gaels)
5 Patrick Kennelly (Dunderry)
6 Shane McEntee (St Peters Dunboyne/Kilbride)
7 Ruairi O'Coileain ( Navan O'Mahonys)
8 Adam Flanagan (Clonard)
9 Padraic Harnan (Jenkinstown Gaels) Capt
10 Cillian O'Sullivan (Jenkinstown Gaels)
11 Jason Daly (St Peters Dunboyne/Kilbride)
12 James McEntee (St Vincents/Curraha)
13 Barry Dardis (Summerhill)
14 Stephen Coogan (Dunderry)
15 Fiachra Ward (Wolfe Tones)

I personally would have started Cian Ward and brought on Bray later. I feel Ward hasn't gotten the credit he's deserved recently. He's been roaming all over the park in the last few games and has been tracking back well. It's just a pity that he seems to have lost his range with free kicks. When he's on form with frees, he literally has a chance with any free within the 65.

meath12

yeah ive always thought cian is a very good player and he has been doing alot of work out the field but maybe its better with bray starting because i dont know if we could really risk to have cian on when he isnt scoring, and it could end up being a shoot out. i say cian will be brought on as a sub and maybe he might be better to come on with a point to prove, bray will also want to put in a good performance so that he can keep his place.

Hammer Archer

Nerves are shot. Only hours away now. Praying we don't resort to the typical Meath style of the last few seasons of one great performance followed by a disastrous one.

COME ON THE ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Who me, Never :rolleyes:


The man is a tool, I would say half of Kerry would want to kick the 5hit out of him as well, he has no respect for anyone and between him and Brolly they are a joke.

At least McStay called it as it was last night in regards to Brolly.

McStay has really gone up in my estimation in the last few weeks, although I don't know why I would have doubted that he was a decent fells and I knew his brother Paul years ago and he was a nice guy

So it's Meath v Laois in Tullamore (our second home this season) on Saturday at 3.30pm.
I'd be hoping that the last 15 minutes or so yesterday will make it easier to lift the players. I just hope they stay switched on for the full 35 minutes plus injury time of each half unlike yesterday.
We should have enough to beat Laois but then again it's relatively rare that a team wins their qualifier just 6 days after losing a provincial final.

I think the mentality has been very good for the last few matches and I would hope we have enough in the tank to take Laois. No disrespect to Leitrim, I thought that they were poor this year and they ran Laois close last Saturday. Again, Laois will be well prepared by McNulty and they will probably either try to put it up to us physically or by running at us hoping that we will tire as the game goes on. I think we can buck the trend, but we are going to have to dig deep.
Any news on Kevin Reilly, is he going to be available?

Craig Dowling

reilly has been ruled out
achilles again

meath12

the interesting thing is though that since the qualifiers were introduced we have been in 3 leinster finals, 2001,2010 and now 2012 and this is the first one we've lost and have had to play in the 4th round of the qualifiers, so we dont really know what the players will be like after losing a final but they have great heart and spirit. hopefully if any team can get rid of this 6 day turnaround curse its meath:)
il be going on saturday and i hope we have alot going to support the lads, il be nervous for this game especially with us being favourites but hopefully banty and co. will get the lads right for saturday.
