No disrespect to Cork and Galway but this semi is more of an attractive proposition for the neutral than last Sunday's game. A lot of guys I've talked to from around home and buddies from other countys (not Tipp and KK) are all heaading up Sunday so it seems that a lot of neutrals will travel.
What's the story with the non Tipp/KK folk here? Are ye going to make the trip?
Does it seem that the attendance of 41,000 last weekend will be bettered??

Pass. Will be going to suppport the minors in the AIF and at €80 plus €40 for the football semi final andmaybe another €80 for the final I can't really afford another €40, especially as the game is on TV.
Wouldn't mind being there but financially it doesn't make sense.

None taken Kinnity. This is the AI final in everything but name. Best two teams currently and for the last four years. Winner should go on and win it out. I expect as a result that a much bigger crowd will attend.

Definitely.
When seeking the day off from the other half, trade off was needed, I've ditched the proposed visit for the AIF semi (Dublin vs Mayo).
No comparison between this Sundays fare and another game in Dublins "Tommy Murphy route" to AI final.

Hoping to get there, provided I can get away from the in-laws on time. No disrespect to dublin Minors, but I think this weekends minor game will give us this years AI Minor Winners.
This could also very well be the case in the senior. The ongoing rivalry between Tipp and KK is something we'll be looking back at on Laochra Gael for years to come, it'd be a horrible shame to miss it.
All in all a fantastic day in Croker to come.

Ye don't even know who ye are playing yet and ye are yerra yerra-ing, the Kerry lads would be proud of ye.
Galway should be fancying their chances at this stage no matter who they are up against.
I think any of the three left on their day can beat each other at this stage , probably the team with that bit extra luck on the day(s) will come through.

I am really excited about this game and believe all the makings are there for a classic. Im especially intrigued to see how kilkenny bounce back after the leinster final and I'm sure Cody will have them chomping at the bit in anticipatiin of this game and a chance for revenge against galway

Spot on Doc. We were lucky to make the final and will be happy with that when trying to develop a young and inexperienced team. I fancy Tipp to go all the way meself. They are a class act and are worthy of more than just one AI from such a great team.

Had planned on going but unfortunately can't now. Should be a decent neutral crowd alright though. Could they get 50k there on Sunday?

Sure might as well award them the cup after the game and save everyone an expensive trip next month.

Ah no, we would like the experience and the day out. If nothing else but to rub shoulders with the greats of KK or Tipp and to be able to say we saw them in the flesh and in their prime.

Maybe not. A lot of the Tipp lads might wait for the final. Galway travelled in numbers last week, knowing it was their final, the 'b' final.

Correct and right. Sure all Hayes and Canning are hoping for is to get their picture taken with the likes of Henry and Lar....

Could be a decent crowd alright , I think they have started selling tickets online now for the top tiers of the stands, the other tickets must be going well , A friend went to buy a ticket in the Tipp shop in Thurles and all they had left were poor seats at the very ends of each stand, but that maybe also just that the Centra shops etc may have got the better tickets.

Don't worry Harry, the usual agitators will be along in good time.

Not going, Cork v Donegal to be worrying about next week. As a neutral with a dislike for both teams i find Tipp to be the lesser of two evils and so will be hoping for a Tipp win. Regardless of who wins I hope Galway beat ye in the final!
