2A teams have deservedly earned the opportunity to playoff for the direct route to the quarter finals. As 2A is the higher road, there is an argument that 2A teams entering R3 should have home advantage. Armagh, Donegal and Galway are all expected to go direct to the quarters. Last chance saloon for 2B teams. In a year that hasn't caught fire for some, always a danger of being caught out. That's the reality of it.

The term is rarely used by GAA people but you always get the odd one .

Replying To Claretandblue:  "It's an open draw!! Nothing unfair about it. The 40,000 in Croke Park last year decreased to 6,000 in Tullamore in quarter final"
I don't think any Westmeath fan is on a position to have input, considering they wouldn't go near Mullingar to look at Westmeath footballers last spring, was there 500 of them in Mullingar last year when Meath basically made it a home game. Bandwagon will fall apart fairly quick in division 3 football next season. I'd say a lot of Westmeath fans won't know which maroon team is there players on Sunday in salthill

Replying To tirawleybaron:  "If they went to Dublin or Clones - they would be outnumbered.

Just wouldn't go to Navan because they wouldn't want so see Meath benefit from it."
How would they play in navan ? When Meath aren't there

You could do with a map or a history lesson if you don't know where northern Ireland is !
