What a nonsense. This either means the minors aren't part of the bill or else Kerry and Mayo Supporters have a game in between. So the teams that have to travel the furthest are facing another late night Sunday spin with work in Monday. God forbid if the senior match goes to extra time and penalties some of the lads from South Kerry will be lucky to make work the following morning!

Armagh v Galway at 1.45 , unlikely the minors will play before them.

Armagh v Galway at 1.45 , unlikely the minors will play before them. GAA do not accommodate minor/senior double headers at this stage of the competition - remember this happening on a number of occasions over the years.

Indeed, I was posting for those who believed that common sense would be applied and a triple header planned.

Looking forward to the day out and Armagh/Galway will be worth watching too.
Hope we're too strong for Mayo. All on the day.

The GAA site is showing the minor game as being on the Saturday but there's no location or time yet.

Well have to beat Mayo or Dublin to get to an All Ireland final, nothing soft about that!!

In the last 10 years (since 2012) in the quarter final / super 8 stage of the championship Dublin have played on the late Saturday evening slot for each match possible. With the only exception being the 2015 QF v Fermanagh was played at 4PM on A A Sunday.
In that time they have played 12 QF stage games. They played away from Croke Park for 2 (Super 8s as they had to) And played one on a Sunday. So Dublin have received prime slot in 90% of the possible QF games they played.
Given the fact that they have the least distance to travel it seems a bit nonsensical to have Kerry and Mayo travelling late on Sunday evening when the next day is a working day.

Why not have it as the 2 PM game? Be home for a somewhat reasonable time. Could put Dublin at 4 on the Sunday.

Especially considering the atmosphere of the last meeting there. In the current economic climate fixing this match for Dublin is nuts. They're blackguarding the fact that they know both sets of supporters are quite loyal and will travel.

It needs to be in Croke park IMO in advance of a possible full house in the SF there against the Dubs.

Mayo came to Limerick in 2014 so Kerry going to Salthill would be reasonable. And Galway is better craic!

The CCCC have shown scant regard to the supporters with the fixtures this weekend past and the quarter finals. The next time the GAA release some press statement about their commitment to the environment, climate change and so on I hope that some journalist has the balls to call it out for what it is - complete and utter corporate bulls***. They make families from Mayo, Kerry, Clare, Galway and Cork cross from one side of the country to another needlessly. Yet we will be told how energy efficient the new floodlight bulbs are in Croke Park and how they are harvesting the rainwater for use in the toilets any day soon mark my words.

Will be interesting to see what size crowds actually show up for these double headers - Kerry at QF stage are not known for drawing a crowd but Mayo may change that. Mayo drew a very small crowd for their R2 Qualifier but again a game against Kerry may boost their numbers. The two Northern counties bring a good following and there is a novelty effect for them. Not sure if Dublin V Cork will be a big draw with either set of supporters at a QF stage.
Will they break 80,000 for the two days?

The more often they get to play in Croke park the better especially before a full house. I think it makes a difference in particular to the goalie and his kick outs.

This was always going to be a tricky task given the long lay-offs and our opposition for the previous two games being poor. OK Cork were ok for a half. That and Mayo having 2 qualifier matches under their belt. Anyway, this will have has been factored in and the team prepared accordingly. We need a tough game before meeting Dublin so it's a good draw overall.

I think Armagh will bring a decent crowd. Galway i think will depend on how the Hurlers go against Cork. If the hurlers make the semi final I can see many waiting to go to that instead. I actually think Mayo support might be waning a small bit. I dont think Kerry will travel in big numbers for a number of reasons.
1 the timing of the game 2 The cost of diesel / petrol 3 Its a quarter final
I think you would be lucky to break 40 - 45 K for the Sunday

I think Mayo are a bit like Kerry in that they tend to be a bit of a 2nd half team this year. If Mayo were a team that come firing out of the blocks in game like Dublin then it would not suit Kerry after a 4 week lay off. Mayo no matter who they play have always been a team that finish strong, not start strong. Kerry have become like this since Jack took over, they wear teams out over the 70 minutes and usually make hay in the last 20 minutes. I expect Kerry to put to bed any notions Mayo might have of beating us by the 3/4 mark.

Completely disagree, sure if we're not used to plying in Croke Park at this stage, we never will, and we might as well not bother fulfilling the fixture, if we're only trying to climatise that pitch and our ear drums in preparation for the Dubs, if we beat Mayo. Think of all the provincial grounds available around the Midwest, Midlands with millions pumped into them, why the point, if they are underused, this is GAA HQ at the pro Dublin tourist *e again, making the two furthest counties in the day travel and play the latest. People are under enough pressure as it is with the cost of living, fuel, etc, Iarnoid Éireann not doing their bit by putting on trains early neither, and being anti environmental.

The way that tv stations get to pick the time of the games is very annoying. You would wonder will the penny ever drop re dragging teams like kerry and mayo for a 4pm Sunday throw in to dublin is just crazy , Derry and armagh will probably bring big crowds this weekend which will gloss over a lot. The 4pm thing is the big problem id have with it tbh very awkward on people travelling such distances the kerry match should be on first but at least the first game should be decent

There is little or no innovation nor imagination shown by GAA fixture makers.
I do think the draw throws up fairly balanced games again.
