There are tickets on sale now in the front rows of 304 and 305. Must be heading for a near sell out?

Did anyone notice if the front rows were occupier for the games this evening?

Doubt tomorrow will be anywhere near a sell out but there could be 50-55000.

There is a paid car park in Maynooth on Leinster Street close to The Roost and Garda Station.Just a short walk to the train station across the canal bridge.

Are they even opening the hill?
Not seen anyone mention terrace tickets

Terrace tickets on sale earlier. Must have only opened it? Did the clubs get any hill tickets I wonder?

Great night here in the capital in the Sands Portmarnock getting dogs abuse from the Dublin cousins!:D

That would be my prediction too. It'll get past the 50k mark.

At least the lad in ennis was embarrassed to ask me to open my bag, looking like a serious fanatic in my mayo get-up and the kids with me.

'Looking like' you know you are one. This bag craic is stupid. Not too bad for young lads off to.see the game but what about families? Especially on wet days, rain gear a few dozen sandwiches, and various other paraphernalia used for keeping the young ones happy? All to be put in an a4 sized plastic bag.

Yea think so too. There will be oodles of Galway Roscommon and Mayo... but feck all kerry.

Looks like heavy rain on the way so going to wear all the gear going in and have a handy fold up bag for it if needed and a carry bag for the sandwiches etc.

Never really cared about getting wet. Used to sit on the concrete benches in mchale for years taking no notice of the rain. Properly kitted up and a newspaper and all was well.

It was gas in Limerick last weekend, a young security person asked a lady to open her hand bag and it was deffo under A4 size. What did he think she had in it? I think her knife was under her blouse along with the bomb vest which he didn't check ffs.

Bringing a bag with me for the rain gear,it's a tad bigger than the A4 size stipulated.Keeping the fingers crossed.

Same on the Galway training
Hardly any Galway supporters

Lots of "up the rossies "
Never experienced that before on the train

It's a day out for them for us it's just another Sunday in July in Crocker

Are they actually stopping some bags going into Croker? The lads in Ennis and Limerick apologised for making me open it with something along the lines of 'sure I can say I looked in every bag'

Not a notion,first trip to Croker since the rule came in but I'm taking a chance,it's quite a small bag.

Right prediction time people

4/5 point win

I'd have thought around the 50k mark too, but I'm changing my mind now. They have had all sections of croker (apart from nally stand) open for at least the last week and they don't usually open upper Davin unless they need it.

There were 60k at the leinster hurling final and the Davin upper only opened a couple of days before the match, and the Hill wasn't open at all.

With the front rows of the lower tiers now open also, they must be expecting 70k+.

Could be a row yet on the train good few rossie heads got on in Westport.
By the look of them they where on the sauce late last night

I dont understand the whole bag thing. If they search your bag and theres nothing in it you should be able to bring it in. Is it at the stadium they search or at the 'checkpoints' with the guards and stewards on the approach roads where they make sure you have a ticket?

I have a small fella (4) and was going to take him to the match today but, he was sick so couldn't. Was going to be his first match so I said i'd take him when croke park was relatively quiet.

I know he would prob drift in and out of interest in the game. Never the less I would have packed, a change of clothes, rain gear, food, drink and probably one of his teddy's (if he got overwhelmed by the noise). Theres not a hope that would fit in a < A4 size bag, not to mention if i wanted to bring my trusty poncho as well.

Sorry to dertail the thread. I think Mayo if they are any way on the ball will win this handy
