    Probably more to do with the fact Cavan have not been in an Ulster Final since 2001.

    I thought the crowd seemed smaller even though it was a sellout

    Well I don't go to many of these so I don't really have too much to compare it to. :giggle1:

    The town itself before the game was crazy, and I was on the Hill and it was pretty packed there, we were trying to squeeze in just to find some space.

    I was on the Hill also maybe it just the spot where I was. That was the smallest Donegal crowd I have ever seen in Clones for an Ulster final.
    I found the atmosphere very flat maybe because there were so many Cavan and they never really got into the game.

    Anyway good luck in the qualifiers

    I heard last night the capacity was reduced so checked it out

    29,000 supporters will pack into Clones for the Ulster final pairing of Donegal and Cavan after tickets for the game have sold out.

    After a health and safety review the capacity was reduced from 34,000 to 29,000, last years decider between Donegal and Fermanagh fell just 1,000 short of the figure.

    Donegal will continue to bring a large contingent despite reaching their eighth provincial decider in nine years while Cavan have reached their first decider since losing to Tyrone in 2001.

    Sold-out signs have began to appear in both counties with the Ulster Council not expecting any tickets to come back from the competing counties.

    Embarrassing display by meath,they get to a final and perform like that!

    I,d love to know what their game plan was playing a guy 5ft 7 up front,dont think he won a high ball all day and their kicking was rubbish.

    Shocking football.

    So the losers in the Leinster football championship would need to play another 5 finals to catch the score of the losers in the puke football championship final:56::56:

    The home of puke football...Ulster.

    If Meath repeated that score every year they would surpass Cavans losing total in 2023

    They've not been in their usual good form.
    I'd still be surprised if they don't make it to the Semi Finals.
