I hope you're right! The website is still pushing me into upper tiers of either the Hogan or Cusack right into the corners with the Davin!

Well you've nothing to lose by waiting. It won't be a sell out. If you're only getting crap tickets at the moment, you'll get them on Sunday as well. But you might get better tickets if you wait. I've always found that I got better tickets on the Saturday as opposed to the Tuesday anyway.

I got three 311s online when they went on sale on Monday

That's lower Cusack at the turn of the Davin.

Also available were 301s which is first section of Cusack, adjacent to Hill 16.

Seeing as the middle sections of the lower Cusack is reserved for season tickets I thought 311 was pretty good.

I know someone looking yesterday online and in SuperValu, which are the same thing as they come from the same source tickets.ie, and the best they were offered was 718 and 726, and high rows in both.

I'd agree with this.

Roscommon have beaten a poor Leitrim and a complacent Galway.

And from headlines like "We can't cage the chaos - McStay loving glory charge" from the RTE website tonight, one gets the feeling that everything from here on in is gravy for thses lads.

That's where Mayo have the advantage, they have won this game 6 years in a row, unless Roscommon tare into them and open a substantial lead then I cannot see it being anything else other than a Mayo win.

I agree that Roscommon have played two poor sides so far. However, Mayo have not played very well this year and struggled in nearly all their games up to now and it was their fitness that won them games for Mayo. Next game will be different since Roscommon has the fitness to go the 70 minutes. The Mayo team are not the team they were a few years ago. I do believe it will be a very close and enjoyable game, but I wouldn't be so certain about a Mayo win.

In my experience, it's always better to wait towards end of week before buying tickets online. I'm not sure if it's clubs returning unused tickets but better ones always seem to come online on the Friday or Saturday.

Probably right but didn't want to take a chance plus 706 Row D is an excellent seat, albeit in the Upper Tier it's right on the half way line plus if it is raining won't get soaked.
I just had a quick look there and if you search Upper Cusack and persist a little there are still 706 tickets available.

Since your posting this on every thread, and claiming Mayo fitness kicked 27 points against Cork and not skill, can you give us some examples where Rossies played for 70 minutes this year to back up the claim?

AA is 27 rows back, it'd guess it's covered.

Best map of Croke Park I have found so far in relation to finding out exactly where your seat is.

That's what I was going to ask.

There is nothing to show that Roscommon are fitter than Mayo.

Mayo are one of the best conditioned teams in the land and have consistently been for the last number of years.

And more importantly Mayo have one of the best benches in the country.

When you can spring experienced guys from the bench in the second half then you have a advantage.

That's what helped Mayo in these qualifiers.

How is Roscommons bench ?

Judging by the map of Croke Park it's the front row. Bring an umbrella

A is the front row. AA is 27 rows back. Nobody will have Row A-D in the lower tier for this game, they will be blocked off with mesh.

You'll still get wet in row AA anyway.

I will anyways haha. I am feeling confident about this one. I just feel Roscommon have their All Ireland played the last day and they won't reproduce that performance again

Galway is an example.I didn't see the Leitrim game so not sure about that game. No other championship games other than that. They had not great form in the league to be fair. I also said nearly all their games not all their games.

EE back is covered - DD to AA and Z to A are at the mercy of the elements.

For the last number of years they were a great team and even deserved to win the all Ireland last year. However this year, You would be foolish to believe they are still as good as they were

Galway gave up, you said that yourself. Galway were out of the game with 20 minutes left and didn't try. So in that game they definitely didn't need to play for 70.

That's true but Roscommon still scored 8 points after that. Plus they were playing against the wind. They obviously didn't take it easy in the last 20 minutes.

I think from AA all the way back you are under cover.

YOunger team should have better legs, but Galway are a young team also
