I should have said walking out of Clones after the matchFair enough i do remember the Derry match again i say we had a 3:1 spilt in the crowd.... that was a big stand to take walking out .
The soccer culture thing i don't agree entirely i think its young lads having a bit of crack and i suppose the closest thing that we have to GAA / Hurling is 'soccer/rugby' and the crowds there can we very vocal . I've noticed in Armagh matches recently a big drop in the vocal support since the Noughties and it is only starting to come back now , i don't think we can be choosy how supports us as well , I've been to The McKennas league when we were in 3 and it can be a whole pile worse with the negative commentary by 'seasoned supporters ' including myself as well , which the players could definitely hear , you ask them what they would pick and im sure id know what they would choose.
Also on a lighter and less serious note, we have pretty poor chants the old 'ARMAGH ARMAGH' isn't very original , I was actually smiling when I heard the Dah dah dah dah dah dah dah Jarly Og , Jarly Og , Jarly Jarly Og . Then again I'm easily pleased .
Of course as i have said before the booing of individual players needs to be knocked on the head

True although I’d be more worried if we weren’t creating them. I think with the way we play we will create at least 3/4 big goal chances against any team. Rian, Murnin, Nugent, Duffy, Grugan and others all very dangerous when the ball is kicked in.I know it's not realistic to expect to convert every goal opportunity but in both recent games our conversion rate was poor enough. We were handed 2 gifts in the first half and very near blew both. The penalty decision could have gone against us. Another in the second half when a flick across was chosen when it wasn't really on. Just fear in tighter games failure to convert could be the difference in winning and losing.
Yep butchered 3 goal chances . You would have to think the Soup one he would score that 99/100 , the others were poor execution we need to be more clinical.True although I’d be more worried if we weren’t creating them.

Yup. There was 300 per train and went stupidly quick.WTF, tickets for the trains gone already?
Season tickets holders actually getting decent tickets for the match
Rufus, totally get your point here, everyone can appreciate the clubs can do without the extra admin and there is no question online is the way forward. However, the club member deserves more.Whilst I totally understand your sentiment, OIF, I didn't sense any concern from delegates when this was outlined at last night's County Board meeting. My sense is that - on this occasion anyway - there should be no shortage of tickets, with all supporters able to directly access tickets for their preferred area of the ground and it will save a lot of hassle for many overworked Club officials.
There is. It was implemented last year re: Covid restrictions. Club allocated the tickets to members and members downloaded them and paid for them via ticketmaster. They have chosen not to in these cases. Anyone know what they did re: Ulster Final tickets?Rufus, totally get your point here, everyone can appreciate the clubs can do without the extra admin and there is no question online is the way forward. However, the club member deserves more.
Surely there has to be a simple system that could be implemented to give club members priority access to tickets while not directly affecting the club admins.
E.g every club member is allocated a GAA membership no. which in turn is associated with GAA club. Would it not be possible for ticketmaster to offer tickets on Day 1 using this membership no to gain access? Then throw ii open to the general public on Day 2.
Listen I’m sure it’s not just an issue with Armagh but I think it’s a point needs raised at a higher level.
For the supporters who have followed Armagh everywhere through good and bad times it feels a lot like getting thrown to the ticket wolves.
