Pairc Tailteann capacity capped at 20,000

Pairc Tailteann will have a capacity of just 20,000 for the Meath Kildare clash.
Pairc Tailteann will have a capacity of just 20,000 for Saturday night's All-Ireland football qualifier between Meath and Kildare.

The Navan venue has an official capacity of 28,000, but this has been reduced by some 8,000 for health and safety reasons with the terraces behind both goals having grass, rather than concrete, banks.

An estimated 17,000 watched Meath edge out Galway at the same venue last Saturday, and with Kildare having one of the biggest supports in the country, it's inevitable that tickets will be short supply for this weekend's game which is a repeat of last month's Leinster quarter-final, which Kildare won by six points in Croke Park.
