Quarter finals have been on in thurles since 2011 so they are Not going to be changed but it would be interesting to see a breakdown of the ticket allocation

What happened was the tickets went on sale last week before Wexford knew they would be playing and a lot of them got snapped up.

It could be close enough I'd imagine. Can't underestimate how many the terraces can hold at capacity though!

Referee for Sunday is going to suit Dublin's style of play a lot. Brian Gavin repsonsible for awful decisions against Tipp over the years. Will count for a few scores. Hard to know where Dublin will be at. Still lacking some reliable goal scorers. Callanan vs. Peter Kelly is going to be some tussel.

Christ. We always end up with this lad. A dreadful referee

Bonner v Liam Rushe will be great - yeah I got my tickets two weeks ago - Wexford lads would want to have more faith in their team.....

God, Galvin is useless...can't keep up with the play...our style doesn't suit him....

First they said the pitch was too small, now it's ticket allocation..
The truth is that they just haven't played well in Thurles for a good while.. Not a good enough excuse to change location...
Sayin that, it would be interesting to see the ticket allocation. If they're really gettin screwed with tickets then they might have a legitamite excuse for wanting to move.

By the way, is there a way to find out how many tickets have been allocated to each county?

This problem with the tickets has arisen because Croke park put tickets on sale when only 3 of the 4 participating teams were known, a pretty stupid thing to do for an organisation thats arranging matches for 130 years or so.
That said, Wexford need to get over it, if their supporters have a problem standing in the terraces then tough (as long as they stay out of the Kilinan end and leave room for us Tipp supporters, I don't mind.

O’Shea revealed Conor O’Mahony is again a major doubt for the weekend fixture.

Defender O’Mahony, 29, continues to struggle with a back problem that ruled him out of the qualifier wins over Galway and Offaly.

O’Shea confirmed: “Conor will be 50-50 in terms of whether he will be involved. He played a bit on Sunday in a bit of a match but he’s going from session to session. His back is an ongoing problem there.

“Niall O’Meara is definitely out and Liam McGrath is not available.”

evolving tipperary

O’Shea hinted six-time All Star Eoin Kelly, captain of the 2010 All-Ireland winning team, will feature again after scoring a point when he came off the bench against Offaly.

He said: “Eoin is a huge leader, Paul Curran the same. All the guys are pushing and understand what it takes to win at this level. It was great to see Eoin come in and everybody was delighted for him, because of how much he’s valued in the squad. Eoin will have a role to play, hopefully, on Sunday, as well as whoever else is asked to play. I think that leadership is huge.”

Having not tasted a championship win in charge until that dramatic come-from-behind victory over Galway, O’Shea admitted belief has come flooding back on the back of two successive wins. “In terms of when you win a game, it makes it easier to go back and believe what you’re doing is right. That’s important for the players. The difference between winning and losing is very slight. Once you get the bounce one way, it gives you the momentum to move on.

“When we won that game against Galway, it made it easier to win the next one. But that will only take you so far.”

And O’Shea stressed: “If you look at the performance against Galway and then Offaly, that (level of) performance will have to go up a notch to get us over the line. We weren’t happy with elements of the performance against Offaly, we were inconsistent. We let our performance drop and if that happens against Dublin, we’ll be in trouble. When we met them in the league, they went 0-9 to 0-3 ahead and if we allow that to happen Sunday, we’ll be in trouble.”

Think i read someplace that each county was giving 2,000 stand tickets each And the rest went on general sale.I stand to be corrected on that though.

Apparently Wexford are being given more stand tickets from Dublin today. As regards the terraces only the killinan end was open until yesterday I think so I'd say the terraces will be very mixed.

Brian Gavin again, Oh Great!

Town end tickets are also on sale.

chocaholic04

Ya sorry I was meaning the Killinanan end was the only terrace open up until start of this week then they opened the town end.

anyone hear the rumour Curran is on the team? Sounds a bit far fetched - we'll know soon

Curran is supposed to be flying it in training, i can't see him starting myself

I think Wexford might be in danger of burning off the goodwill that had built up around them after the last couple of games. Looking to have the game switched to Croke park at this stage is a bit stupid.

Its just the head suit mouthing off with a cheap PR stunt to make himself look great. There was never any danger of this fixture being changed at this late stage. The reason it is in Thurles first and foremost is due to the ill fated Garth Brooks gigs that never went ahead and there was that bit of flexibility with Dublin also probably due to the fact we have played them in the capital in probably every championship meeting since time began.

By the time it emerged that hurling fever had gripped Wexford and that the Garth gigs was dead in water the GAA was never going to do a u-turn.

I think the gaa have said or its widely known that they want to make thurles the home of the quarter finals so I don't think they would have changed it anyway

Mantis Toboggan

For all the talk from wexford I'd still say they will be well outnumbered by the tipp and Limerick supporters and I would be very surprised if it was a full house.

Interesting thing about Dublin is they actually looked keen and up for that Leinster final. Their gameplan was just simply dreadful.
