Sad to see Tipp worried about playing Offaly at any level; a pitch is pitch whether Nenagh, Birr, Tulllamore or Portlaois - if you're good enough, it won't matter a shite where it is played, and this is offaly for heaven's sake

There will be a huge amount of families travelling with kids for this game. As you cant even buy a u16 ticket you will potentially have a problem as the stands fill up if the GAA are planning to sell tickets up to or near the capacity of each stand. I have a ticket for one of the stands but i will also be bringing in two kids, so thats 3 seats being used for 1 ticket.
Its not like the GAA aren't aware of whats going to happen. There was a tsunami of kids at the game in Portlaois that probably bumped the official attendance from 12k to somewhere between 18 to 20k in reality.
Id be far happier paying a couple of euro a ticket with guaranteed access to a seat for my kids

Genuine question....would there be more than 5 or 6000 from Tipp travelling would ye think?

Plenty of stewards and people having the manners to not "hold" seats for phantom friends in the jacks.

Speaking of jacks, you'd better bring a bottle as the jacks in Nowlan park are more liable to flooding than OMP, and you could miss a good chunk of the game. Lads pissing at the walls just inside the gates the last time I was there and not near full either.

I was surprised at the arrangement. By all means allow children free, but make them need a ticket to give some sense that they are of monitoring what is being sold for each stand.

At the Leinster final, there was over 1,000 children who came on specially organised CB buses and it seems were just ushered in a big open gate. And probably plenty more in other big groups.
These type of walk ins weren't counted on the official attendance.
