With the demand for tickets in Armagh there needs to be a loyalty system. No question.

Looking across the water to English soccer clubs -they have it as season ticket holders first, members second. A couple of years ago for a big final (for the club I follow) it was the case were some season ticket holders did not get tickets. Believe it or not this was correct because preference went to those who were season tickets holders for the most seasons.

Definitley a model to work off even if it is the Garrison game.

If the GAA were happy enough to take yellow and red cards (and more recently penalty shootouts) from the Garrison game, then surely adopting a ticket allocation model is (comparatively) no big deal.

Ridiculous!!! Irrespective of whether it's or Donegal supporters (I hope it's us) there will be no accommodation to be had. Madness that the GAA don't look at other events in the area before fixing matches. Even if it meant having to switch matches around & not follow the Home, Away, Neutral format.

I despair at the fixing of these matches. GAA at provincial or national level don’t give a fudge about the supporter. Whether is putting 3 northern teams in CP on the same day, fixing a game on the day of a charity tractor pull or having a game when there are multiple concerts in the same town. No consideration at all

Time to stop the whining about tickets - perennial problem which never has a real solution as we don't have the stadia with enough facilities to satisfy everyone.
Every sold out event has similar issues.

I wish it was 3pm Sunday. Just spent 3HRS travelling from Monaghan l.
Parked up in some field hoping the tractor will pull me out in Monday
Ticket in hand and walking/running up to the diamond to walk/push/cajole down the hill and up again into the grounds
The noise, colour and smell are unmistakable
It's wall to wall orange
The teams are out
The band is ready

Are you ready?

Fair enough but what if for talks sake you and I both pay our £100 club membership, I go to every Armagh game all year but I’m not involved in the club, you are heavily involved with the club fundraising/underage coaching etc but you don’t go to an Armagh game outside an Ulster final.

Who does the club give the last ticket to?

I’d like to think you’d both be equally entitled to a ticket. But it’s at each individual club’s discretion how they distribute tickets. My club has drawn names from a hat in the past.

We could a late announcement where #12 comes for #20.

Probably a change somewhere but there or there abouts. Strong bench

I'd say they didn't mean to name McCabe, I'd say he is meant to start but wasn't to be named to start, bench is strong and that could be the winning of it, not exactly the team I'd go with but management are consistent enough with team this year

I’d rather he was named now than dropping a forward for him on the day as such.

When i seen i thought it was strange to name a number 20 in a starting 15.

But probably done for bit of speculation around will he or wont he start.

Barring the injury McCabe would have been a nailed on starter anyway. So would be no great shock if he is starting.

Might be completely wrong but I have a feeling Rafferty will start in nets.

It would be very unfair on Blaine if he does.

Would be massively unfair and a call I wouldn't make. Blaine has been excellent for us.

You don't change a man out the field doing well - you definitely don't change a GK doing well. And Blaine has been doing exactly that.

Is he going well or has he not been tested yet

No one has really went after our kickout, not many high balls on him, not even very many shots at him

10 games in (in both league and championship) I'm happy with how things have gone for Blaine.

Good under a high ball, good shot stopper and a good trajectory on his kickout. Evidence of all of these in his games played to date.

Personally I would start Ethan for the win. He can score from long range. Donegal are going to park the bus. It’s not like odhran lynch whete the Derry full backs woudlnt go to nets. The last two years armagh actually worked it very well with McKay/ another just dropping in.

If he doesn’t start I think personally he will come on
