Novel final could sell out twice, says Duffy

Páraic Duffy estimates the GAA could fill Croke Park twice over for next week’s All-Ireland football final and says a Mayo versus Donegal decider is good for the game.

The GAA’s Director General has noted a huge demand for tickets from abroad and thinks the “novelty factor” of this year’s final will give encouragement to other counties.

“They used to say the All-Ireland was a closed shop and that only a small number of teams could win,” said Duffy.
