Tyrone have derrys number at under 20 even more than they do ours. Has to be very disappointing for derry being backed by two minor all ireland winning teams. Almost seem to play within themselves and also some poor game management. St marys convoy next wednesday for the semi. Fine pitch at least. Pity odonnell park or fr tierney park have no floodlights as the overall facilities would be better for a crowd.

Got in a few minutes later and no seats left at all, not even a single seat, which made me think that they probably didn't make many seats available for Season tickets, as 102 people in front of me x Max 7 seats = 714 seats, and most accounts wouldn't have the max 7 seats.

I'm happy enough with the Aura Terrace, but they must keeping a lot of seats out of circulation."
I was on from 11:45, I'd say I got on about 12:25 and I was 109 in the Queue. I honestly wonder if there is anyone out there that was under 100 in the Queue. I assume because I have kids Season Tickets that they didn't want to sell them to me at the reduced price, especially when they can sell them at full price.

For the first few years of being a Season Ticket holder the platform was Tickets.ie and the were really fair, but since Ticketmassacre have taken over it just gets worse and worse. I'm waiting for them to start the dynamic pricing like they do for concerts. They really need to be regulated.

Replying To Ulsterchamps_32:  "There is a lot of negativity about the league but i do wonder is it just a bit of a convenient excuse for some teams. The two teams who got the division 1 league final last year made a huge progression when it came to championship. Termon beat eunans in championship i think for the first time and were a close as you can get to beating NC. Four masters got to the semi against that went to et.
Termon look to be continuing were they left off last year and FM, despite having a pile of players with the 20s look to be doing well again too. It might be ok for nc but I would think most other teams should to looking to follow the termon/FM ead and not make excuses that the leagues doesn't matter."
Yeah I'd be thinking the same as yourself. Surely winning games can only be a good thing? I know that some clubs are missing county players and aren't as strong as they could be at this time of year. I suppose we can't have it both ways. If the county wasn't going as well as we are, the club league scene would maybe have more of an edge.

I found out that Club members had Seated tickets on Wednesday, Club members who aren't season ticket holders.

Everyone here had about 100 people online when gates opened on Wednesday, I suspect there was little or no seats for Season ticket holders.

I went into my account before 12. It kept saying no events found. I kept going out to redeem tickes and back in again. At 12.28 a got in a queue at 87. I quickly got in to ground plan. It said no seats but I could see Sections B,C and F were a blue colour ie seats available. I went in to Section F and there were plenty of seats available. I could have chosen up to 6 seats depending on what was on my Season Ticket account.

Have you Juvenile tickets linked to your account? I suspect thats why I was just directed straight to Aura Terrace. Either way, the whole system is a joke.

Yeah I completely agree. Derry will have serious regrets after this result. Like you say played with the shackles on a bit trying to play a controlled game until poor decision making coughed up possession. I don't think this Tyrone team is as good as their recent sides but when they get momentum they know how to win. The midfielder who scored the goal Conor O'Neill will definitely need watching. We were good in patches against Derry but also very sloppy with some of our more established names uncharacteristically poor at times in possession. I don't think we've played yet anywhere near to our potential. Lots of fixtures coming up so availability could be an issue. Does anyone know if McCahill is fit? It's a massive opportunity for these lads now. Getting to play an already twice beaten Tyrone side at home to get to a final they'll fancy their chances in
