Ulster final may be at Croker

THE Ulster Council has not ruled out playing this year’s provincial football final at Croke Park for the first time since Armagh beat Donegal at the venue in 2006.

No decision will be made on whether to play in Clones, as is traditional, or in the capital and it will depend on the teams involved and the likely attendance.

Council secretary Danny Murphy said that an attendance of 60,000 would be required to move the decider from the Monaghan town but GAA HQ is free on the date in question, July 18, if required.
