Spot on. Way too many intercounty games these days.

That whole "duel" thing should be left back in the 18th century where it belongs. Barbarous that a county like Dublin would still be indulging in it in this day and age.

This from the man who told me it was down to the playing styles not competition structures as i had argued. You are some craic.

Are you stupid ..? Of course the playing style also contributes and that coupled with teams knowing they are not knocked out no matter what the result leads to supporters staying away… Why do you think the hurling is getting such big crowds…? It's miles more entertaining than football regardless of how many games are played… Football is so boring people are not silly enough to keep paying in… reducing the games would be a help but unless it becomes more enjoyable to watch people will stay away and they are right….

1500 in Cavan on Saturday for Ros vs Tyrone u20 All Ireland semi final. We have been in a good few of these in last 15 years and would always be a 3 - 5k attendance. Again root cause is condensed season , too many games at the same time and unseemly rush to get fixtures out of the way. facethepuckout (Roscommon) - Posts: 215 - 14/05/2024 16:35:36 2544779 Link 0 |
The heading is 'Attendances 2024' so it's perfectly fine to discuss why attendance figures are falling through the floor.. isn't it..? People don't really care what the exact number that's in attendance as it can be plainly seen on tv that the grounds in nearly all cases are half or more empty… What they do care about is why so few are attending matches, particularly in football…!

I'd endorse what he said tbh. I go to most home games and with that in mind Saturday should be unmissable, fantastic team coming to salthill for the championship, but the fact that pretty much everyone qualifies from the group stages kills alot of the anticipation and tension. I'll probably still go like but I'd assume in general the structure of the groups will affect negatively attendance on the whole.
