I presume the Brandywell terrace is the larger terrace - opposite to the dressing rooms . I think it's the one to the Donegal end . The smaller is terrace is on the dressing room side .

The Brandywell is nearer to the larger terrace beind the goals ( I think )

Ps : love that venue

The Brandywell terrace is the end next to the Brandywell Stadium to the South of Celtic park, which is linked to the Bluebell terrace opposite the Main stand.

Best advice is stay at home, and save your travel money for the qualifiers.

It's set up for an ambush!!!!! No one expecting Derry to win.....great position to be in. Tyrone Derry games have generally been tight affairs so I'm expecting the same. Can't wait for it!!!!!!!!

I think we can beat Tyrone, but I am not convinced we can sustain a winning run through Ulster. Like beating Tyrone is definitely possible, as we have played several times this season already and familiarised ourselves with what Tyrone bring.

Tyrone are hard to close down, as their forwards are lively and hard to contain. If you do contain them, then you have players like Sean Cavanagh, Mattie Donnelly, Peter Harte and Tiernan McCann who are all willing to get in on the act.
I think Derry have a better midfield than Tyrone, and maybe by pushing up and forcing long-range kickouts, we could capitalize on the ensuing midfield battle, as I think we have better high fetchers.

The problem is making efficient use of that ball once we win it, and I think Derry players would actually do well in that situation, as it would be man to man in the Tyrone half and that would suit us more than short kickouts that allow Tyrone to reset their defence.
A big concern for Derry is how they set up their own defensive screen, as Laois kicked 22 points against us in the league. That was extremely worrying, as Laois don't have the firepower of Tyrone.
