GAA chiefs anticipate 44,500 sell-out for semi-final replay
Munster Council officials, who are overseeing preparations for the clash, last night revealed that the stadium will have a capacity of close to 44,500 for the game which throws in at 5pm and will be televised by RTÉ and Sky Sports. Munster Council chief executive Simon Moroney said work began in earnest yesterday for the tie which has been fixed on Shannonside as Croke Park is unavailable on Saturday due to an American Football clash between the University of Central Florida and Penn State.
“The six-day turnaround is challenging,” Moroney admitted last night, “we began meetings onMonday morning, looking at thelogistics which need to be put in place, the staff and personnel, the traffic plans, and so on.
