Several media figures have suggested the game should be moved to a neutral venue, given the capacity of Croke Park is not a factor in staging a game that will be played behind closed doors.
Ulster champions Cavan, however, have today issued a statement clarifying they are happy for the game to proceed at Croke Park.
