Supporters from Belmullet in Mayo will leave home next Sunday in time to travel 200 miles and still take in all three matches at headquarters. So we have little sympathy for locals who can't seem to leave the pub in time, causing throw-ins to be delayed several times this year.
Dublin fans apparently believe pubs that share their names with a part of Croke Park are next door to the ground. Hence the problem.
Hill 16, Gardiner Street, to Hill 16, Croke Park (20-25 minutes). Hogan Stand, North Circular Rd, to Hogan Stand, Croke Park (10-15 minutes).
Quote of the Weekend: "As far as I know it's already a Dublin-Kerry final." - Mickey Moran, before confirming Mayo would turn up next week anyway.
