Love how the half empty ground is down to the Dubs supposedly not travelling, nothing to do with Laois only bringing about 600?! A quick stroll down Kilkenny town would show you just how many Dubs made the trip.

Dublin were once pandered to by referees.. just look at the last 5 mins of the 2005 Leinster final where they given a first cousin of a free to level the match. Now they can't be beaten.

Read my post again. I'm on about Dub supporters who claimed no other ground would hold them only Croke Park. If you're saying there was 15,500 odd dub supporters there today, then where were the other 20,000+ supporters that file into Croke Park??? Today just proved that plenty of grounds throughout the country can hold them so they can't be using that as an excuse again when talk happens of putting them on the road.

You need to pay Specsavers a visit if you were "looking at a half empty ground" There were 17,000 in attendance, that's a three-quarters full ground.

Is the Leinster counties that vote to keep Dublin in Croke park not Dublin. The more gate receipts received works out better for all Leinster counties, that's why it suits for all the other counties to keep the dubs there. If that game today was in Croke park there could have been 30,000 there.

We'll forgive me for not counting every single head in the crowd. But some of ye boyos arent clued into what I'm saying. For years some Dub fans claimed they'd fill any ground in the country. Today proved them wrong. No excuse now for them not to be taken out of croke park again. Now, I hope ye can understand that!!

Your missing point. For first round championship games in Leinster we only get unfortunetly about 20,000 Dubs in croker (obviously us dominating Leinster has affected attendance) We had 16000 who travelled to a game, where really the outcome was never going to be in doubt. Id agree though it will stop people throwing out silly numbers as to what stadiums we can play in. But really it's only a relevant arguement for first or second one round games in Leinster where only 16000 will travel. If a Leinster final ( against Meath or possibly Kildare)or quarter final was outside Dublin , you are looking at a totally different scenario of travelling numbers.

Does that not mean that there was a quarter of it empty?
