Dublin v Tipp
Limerick v Wexford/Waterford

I presume it will be a double header in Thurles although that's a little unfair on Dublin.

Is it an open draw for the semi finals?

What the Dublin Region gets in football will they take back in hurling? Thurles usually hosts the quarter-finals. No reason really to change that.

Legendz, if Tipp weren't involved it would be in Thurles but unfortunately for us it's different rules for the hurling. I wouldn't be surprised if it was in Croke park because Tipp
Vs Dublin would draw a very big crowd.

Double header in Thurles I reckon....

If the Gareth Brooks concerts go ahead it won't be in croker

I don't know how I feel to them being in Croker. On one hand Tipp might welcome a match in Croker but they'd also want it at home. Thurles is the tradition but Croker means I can go.

Maybe playing them as standalone fixtures is the best option? But if they did that no reasonable neutral ground would cater for the Tipp/Dublin crowd.
Limerick v Wexford/Waterford will be in thurles no matter what. I reckon they should stick with the double header in Thurles. Should be close if not over 40k at it which would be great to see even if it is a double header.

I dont think it would be fair to have Tipp v Dublin in Thurles.Double header would be great for all the supporters.Croke Park might be a better option.If the two games are played seperately i could see Tipp v Dublin in Portlaoise.A full house there would make for a great atmosphere.

Unfair to have Dublin playing in Thurles but ok for Tipp to play in Croker ?

Could not care less where it is played!.....Thurles or Toronto, Dublin will beat Tipp that day and that is the end of that!

'Where will the game be played?'......such a question denotes the last refuge of a person who has no confidence in their team and looks for excuses!!!!

Well toss for it realmo.Id say Limerick/Wexford/Waterford would prefer Croke Park.

Parnell Park is our home ground realmo,so yes i think Croke Park would be more suitable.

Don't worry Snuf we are happy to play it in O'Toole park, Glenalbyn, Parnell Park, Croke Park, Ballyboden, wherever.

I fancy Tipp and Limerick to make the semi finals.Regardless of where the games are played.There will be a big bounce back from Dublin but Tipps greater scoring power to prevail.

why don't they have the quarter finals in Kilkenny

I think if Wexford beat Waterford the quarter finals will be played in Croke Park otherwise Semple. It will be a double header unless Tipp or Limerick football qualifier is played before one of them.

games will be in thurles they have been there for the last few years.
crowd wont be a problem as they have had double headers for all ireland quarter finals each year and
usually get 35 thousand to 40 thousand
thurles holds 53 thousand should be fine

Sur Limerick will bring 40,000 alone so that will leave 13,000 between the other 3 counties if they are to be played in Thurles.

Bring it to Croker!!!!
