Shame about Devine. I liked him as a player

Best of luck to him, I'm sure he'll be immensely successful at whatever he turns his hand to. Was a joy to watch when he got going in games.

Good luck with everything Tom!

To be fair, it’s a GAA forum not an English one. While we’re at it though, it’s can’t not cant

To be fair, you don't have the greatest grasp of English either.

He is 100% right. Not worth jeopardizing a great career for insane commitment levels of hurling.

A big injury etc wouldn’t be much use to him as a doctor.

I read that he has ambitions of being a surgeon. I can't imagine an ex hurler with wrists sounding like a cement mixer managing the fine motor control necessary for surgery.

Tickets for Munster championship games wont be going on general sale. Clubs only - somebody on here - presumably on the CCC had it its 3 stand tickets & 20 terrace per club....

Certainly not a member of the CCC, just my club committee. Our club secretary informed us of the allocation. Season ticket holders will of course be receiving tickets. How many tickets Clare will be allocated I don’t know.
A possible route in would be to volunteer as a steward, but I’m unsure if non club members are accepted as stewards.

Should of mentioned in the statement if it's the case

Mayo fans didnt get a full allocation for newbridge last season but they have a different season ticket afaik

Wait and see I suppose

Paddy Joe on with Damien Tiernan this morning has confirmed all season ticket holders for both Clare and Waterford are gauranteed tickets. There is also a 50:50 split for remaining tickets.

Cool does the same apply for the Limerick game ??

A good few of us travelled up too Ennis last year (place is as equal a dump too Walsh Park) Clare have a core support that will travel anywhere

Cant wait for the Championship

Cusack Park isnt great but Walsh Park is out on it's own in 'dumpiness'. And you can fit 19,000 in Cusack Park. Walsh park is a derisory 11,000 now and an inadequate 16,000after the upgrade

No they didn't. Every mayo and Kildare season ticket holder got a ticket

Aren't season ticket numbers capped at 3,500? Only Dublin and Mayo routinely hit that number. Limerick might have this year but Waterford and Clare won't have gotten anywhere near that.

So if the balance of tickets are split 50:50 we'll be slightly outnumbered v Clare and probably very outnumbered v Limerick?

Relhcstirt

Looks possible. Especially if Clare do take their full allocation. So much for home advantage!!

Think 16,000 will be fine for the foreseeable. There was only 12,000 at the Waterford v Clare Munster semi in 2010.

Surely Waterford clubs get a greater allocation than Clare. I’d be amazed if we gave them much more than enough for the season ticket holders, maybe enough to double that but I don’t see why we should accommodate them any further than that. Would be foolish to when there will be demand for tickets in Waterford, or at least I’m hoping there will. Attendances so far wouldn’t back up my thoughts here though.

Of course it will. When the novelty value of the new format wears off crowds of 12,000 will be talked of in hushed tones. The 13,736 who were at the game last year is nearly 6% of the combined populations of the counties. When you strip out the very young the very old etc it's actually a great crowd for a non-knockout game.
