@Fagan_ODowd is correct here - if you ponied up €200 at the start of the year for an intercounty season ticket incorporating the club plus option you are guaranteed an All-Ireland final ticket if your county gets there, irrespective of how many intercounty games you went to.
I got the club plus option one year. Had war at the gate of a club match in Kilmallock with one of those Munster council pricks who go around with the ticketing van. Had a full blown argument to him explaining that it was for club games too. Eventually he relented but I never got the club plus option again. Just get the club season ticket off the county board now. At least you know they are guaranteed to receive the money in full. I’d say Croke Park skim off a nice percentage for themselves out of those club plus tickets.
Been saying it for years - the intercounty season ticket is fantastic value if you go to most games. All the hassle for the final last August was removed.
Justin Hefferan awarded about a thousand frees in a 60 (sixty) minute game between the Harriers and Martins in the Wexford championship last weekend. Chin pointed fifteen (15) frees and the Harriers still lost by 8 (eight).
