120,000 expected for weekend action at Croke Park

Croke Park is set for its busiest weekend of the year, with 120,000 patrons expected through the turnstiles on Jones’ Road.

GAA top-brass are predicting a crowd of over 70,000 for tomorrow evening’s All-Ireland SFC quarter-final double-header involving Donegal, Armagh, Monaghan and reigning champions Dublin, which would be the largest attendance in either code in 2014.

“We are not expecting a sellout, but we are confident of getting 70,000 into Croke Park. The Dubs always draw a massive crowd,” said a GAA spokesperson.
