Dubs face ticket famine for Armagh clash

DUBLIN football supporters, who have thronged Croke Park on four occasions this summer, face something of a ticket famine for the September 1 Bank of Ireland football championship semi-final against Armagh.

The allocation to the county board will be considerably below what was available for the weekend quarter-final replay with Donegal and board chief executive, John Costello, confirmed yesterday that there would be no public sale of match tickets.

"It's unfortunate, but, that is the way it is," he said.
