I see online capacity is 21,000 - I wonder is it still 21,000 or since reduced ?

As regards the location, it could have been worse. Wexford came to Tullamore when last they met in the grade so could have played hardball to host it in Wexford to show off their shiny new floodlights.

Carlow is 47 miles from Wexford town and 53 miles from Birr, whereas Portlaoise is 71 miles from Wexford.

Terraces don't suit everyone as Joe Bloggs pointed out on the previous page and it's likely there were very few stand tickets on general sale. That said, terrace tickets are on sale for €10, whereas tomorrow's Minor final is €15 with 'access all areas'.

Another thing. Offaly didn't announce their team publicly until after 5pm yesterday, yet details of that team were being revealed on Reservoir Dubs at lunchtime. Offaly can do without that attempted sabotage and hopefully the leak cops himself on and everybody keeps their mouths shut in advance of the Leinster final.

I believe it's 11,000 now.
The stand is comfortable enough with decent views but there can't be more than 3,000 - 3,500 seats max.
By the way the terrace the far side of the ground doesn't have a particularly good vantage point as it isn't particularly steep.
Anyways we'll get a full critique of the facilities there this Saturday at the senior match. I might count the seats in the stand if I get in early enough :lol:

11,000 is very low for a game like this.

Of course and the soccer pitch too, combine them all and there’s ample seating.

The official capacity of Cullen Park now stands at 12,000 for the poster who asked. This will be close to a capacity crowd and the Leinster know it, hence the reason there is a €2 charge on kids tickets. Once all the tickets are gone, that will be it. No free in for U16’s so anyone in 2 minds should buy now.

They at least learned their lesson from last years minor final in Nolan Park when they were letting in kids for free and the main stand was way over capacity. By selling the kids tickets they can now count exactly how many go in next Wednesday night.

Yep, the official advice is to set off before Sunday night and you should get a parking spot.
