Honestly think there might only be 15,000 at Kerry v Galway now. The World Cup final will definitely hit the attendance. It's a once every 4 years event. Even people with only a passing interest in soccer will watch the World Cup final. Many casual GAA fans or neutrals who might have gone to Kerry v Galway will give it a skip now. Especially if the WC final is England v Brazil/France. All that will be there is the hardcore Kerry and Galway support and that might only be 5,000 each.

The Ireland game finished about 10a.m. Not sure how it would have affected numbers at the Donegal Derry game except maybe in terms of lads not being able to drive after a few jars.

That's incorrect. Ireland v spain started at 12 or 12.30

Kerry and Galway county boards should take it out of the GAAs hands and just play the game in limerick on the Saturday, it's a joke going to crokepark for it. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 04/07/2018 18:07:22 2118580 Link 1 |
Nonsense. FIFA should have checked its fixture schedule with the GAA. before making any definite decision.

Ah now, thought you preffered the atmosphere of a full stadium and Limerick would be way too big for the amount of Kerry supporters that will bother. Somewhere like Portlaoise would be better surely. Dubh_linn (Dublin) - Posts: 2312 - 04/07/2018 18:41:46 2118590 Link 1 |

You'd have 30,000 if the game was in limerick. It would be 100 times better than maybe 10,000 at a soulless crokepark.

It's the players I would be concerned about. How can they concentrate on their game knowing that the WC final is on. Maybe the ref could call the equivalent of a 'water-break' every 15 minutes to update the players on the score. On the other hand maybe the 'break' could be held back for the penalty shoot-out.

Kingdomboy genuine question here not slagging or having a dig; Why for a mad footballing county like Kerry that are the best at Gaelic football is you're support for the Kerry team so poor I accept Travelling to Croker in games you know your going to win is too much for you with such a distance and cost and all but even for the Munster final it was poor Cork a hurling county totally out numbered you's , like even close championship games to Kerry you're support is poor why is this? Like getting to play Kerry in all Ireland final is great cause we know there'll be loads of tickets available. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 04/07/2018 21:17:19 2118647 Link 1 |
16,000 approx against Wicklow in Portlaoise so not exactly massive given the amount of Dublin fans. If Dublin had an 8 hour round trip including associated costs from a county with far less disposable income than Dublin then you'd understand. I'd add that we have a far less populated county and on top of that one of the biggest employment Sectors is tourism and Summer is the busiest period. If you spend any time in Kerry then you'd see how much the people love the game but at times there has been a complacency to the team givern the success. We had 17k at the Clare game I think because people wanted to see the new generation. westkerry (Kerry) - Posts: 1250 - 04/07/2018 21:50:44 2118655 Link 0 |
