A REQUEST TO move the All-Ireland Group stages clash between Armagh and Galway to Croke Park has been denied, the Orchard County has announced.
The final round of games of the group stages is set for neutral venues, but the decision to take the Armagh v Galway tie on June 18 to Páirc Seán Mac Diarmada was proving unpopular with both counties, due to its capacity of just over 9,000.However, a request to stage the tie at GAA Headquarters has been rejected.
⁰We understand that many of our loyal supporters will be disappointed by this as our request for a change of venue to Croke Park was denied.Armagh is one of the better-supported football counties and have already attended several games this season in impressive numbers, while the resurgence and run to the All-Ireland final last year has swollen the Galway travelling faithful.
Demand for tickets also completely outstripped supply for the Ulster final. For games against Antrim, Down and Cavan, Armagh fans were able to buy tickets online, but for the provincial final, tickets were distributed through clubs only. Other venues that could come into consideration include Mullingar, Enniskillen or Pearse Park in Longford town.
