TYRONE'S red and white army is ready to descend on Croke Park this weekend as the county attempts to reach its first All-Ireland final in almost a decade.
Excitement has been building across Tyrone as Mickey Harte's men prepare to take on reigning champions Dublin on their home turf.
The last time Sam Maguire was brought home was 2008, and the county has tasted defeat at the semi-final stage on three occasions since then.
One retailer said Tyrone shirts had been "flying out the door" in the lead-up to the big game tomorrow.
Darragh Begley, of Begley's Sports in Dungannon, said: "The anticipation for this match and the atmosphere around the town is amazing.
"Tyrone people think this is their time to do the job against Dublin."
World heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua has been among those photographed in county colours ahead of the crunch match.
And Red Hand fans fortunate enough to have secured a ticket will be flying in from around the globe to lend their support.
Club Tyrone, which has raised more than £5 million for the development of GAA in the county since the 1990s, has recently launched committees in New York and London.
Secretary Damian Harvey said around 100 people are expected to join the new branches, with members paying between £500 and £1,000 annually.
"The Club Tyrone committee from London are making their way over for Sunday's game and a few of the guys from New York are also coming over," he said.
"The further away you go, the more passionate people seem to be about the county and wanting to contribute to it.
"There has been a correlation between the money coming in and the trophies delivered. We are happy to keep that going if we can."
Mr Harvey added: "We are mad, passionate Tyrone men. We don't go down to Dublin thinking about anything less than getting a win. Why would we go down with any other attitude?"
As well as the senior team in action at 4pm tomorrow, Tyrone fans will be cheering on their under-17 side against Roscommon in the first ever All-Ireland final at that grade.
In between the two games, Derry will also meet Dublin in the minor semi-final before what is expected to be an 82,000 sell-out at GAA headquarters.
