I'd have thought the Republic would be more likely to bring in crowd restrictions than up here but maybe you're right.

Haven't heard any rumours yet, but we have to assume it has something to do with Armagh because I couldn't see McGeeneny acceding to a request from Cavan, just to play down there. Has to be a good reason for it, although we have to remember that we have often said we'd play anyone anywhere. Sure it's just a glorified challenge game. It's even referred to officially as "pre-season" competition.

Maybe they want to play in Breffni Park cause it's their best chance of winning there in year's

It’s a tad unfair. I know it’s only the McKenna cup, but one home match at least should be fixed, so fans can come along to blow off the Christmas cobwebs.

Armagh Vs Cavan is probably in Breffni Park cause of the 2 Armagh hurling games in Athletic Grounds on Wednesday 5th January & Friday 7th January

Ohhh right, that one!

Surely there’s another ground available in the county?
The least Tyrone could do is give us home advantage for that clash. Then Cavan could give them home advantage for their clash. Actually, all teams should just do a Father Jessop, where the opposite applies. A home game = an away game and an away game = a home game.

So just had a quick check to see if I could save myself a drive tomorrow evening and it seems it's £10 to watch the game online. Can still get the competition ticket for £20 and go to as many games as I would like or can get to. Factor in fuel for the Hummer and its' still about the same to attend 5 games than it would be to watch online. What has this money making racket become??............. Oh yeah, a money.............!!!

That’s mad, Ted. £10 for online is a bit steep.So just had a quick check to see if I could save myself a drive tomorrow evening and it seems it's £10 to watch the game online.

I can understand people not wanting to go to games at this time of the year, so why not offer a TV package (to cover all games) for a similar price as the £20 competition ticket?
Is it GAAGO Jim? Or Armagh TvSo just had a quick check to see if I could save myself a drive tomorrow evening and it seems it's £10 to watch the game online.

Absolutely crazy Mr M.
I know we mostly mess about these things and have the craic, but honestly it's a bit much. There are a few (numerous if we're honest) that have to tighten things with the auld Covid and that, so going to a game or paying to watch it is a bit of a luxury for some. It can also be a great release and way unwind and get away from the daily stress, if only for that hour or so.
I've no idea what Ulster are thinking with this and yes I understand things have to be paid for, but I'm gonna miss seeing this game on principle as I'm not paying that and won't get finished work in time to make it down before the game is nearly at the first water break. And no I don't want a dodgy link. I think those are awful too. Heading off now I've got that off my chest before the halo slips!
