Thats mad, especially it being a quarter final! hurlingdub (Dublin) - Posts: 6978 - 29/05/2014 14:57:50 1595220 Link 0 |
I wouldn't agree this is a disgrace, how many Kilkenny supporters would make the journey for a B All Ireland football QF. Sure the Cork football support is tiny and they are playing in some major games. Hurling isn't big in some counties and that is reflected in the support, is that real;ly a big deal?

I'm sure there'll be a few hundred in McHale Park for the semi-final. keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 29/05/2014 15:06:34 1595227 Link 0 |
Such a shame,Must be disheartening to put in all the effort of inter county training and then no-one give a hoot if you win or not shea (Kerry) - Posts: 409 - 29/05/2014 15:10:59 1595228 Link 0 |
Disappointing but Mayo is a football mad county with thousands following the football team. Sure we even had over 2,000 who traveled over to NY a few weeks ago. I feel sorry for the hurlers but thats just the way it is. Fixing the semi final for 1pm on a Sat does no good in trying to attract a decent crowd much more so on Kerry fans have to travel up to Castlebar. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11219 - 29/05/2014 15:13:57 1595231 Link 0 |

Its hard to understand where a figure of 4 came from. Do these players not have any families, kids wives, parents or girlfriends or even boyfriends that might go along to shout them on. Like everything else I would have thought support starts at home. ZUL10 (Clare) - Posts: 693 - 29/05/2014 15:38:42 1595247 Link 0 |
Game against Meath is in Trim and I highly doubt a big Mayo crowd will travel to Trim.. Meath always seem to pull a big crowd and there really pushing for there to be an even larger crowd this time round tuppy23 (Meath) - Posts: 154 - 29/05/2014 15:38:48 1595248 Link 0 |
Meath had about 200 supporter in Ballycran last year for the CRC semi final replay. They have a good following. Wicklow also travel well. portavogielad (Down) - Posts: 446 - 29/05/2014 15:46:23 1595253 Link 0 |
Im a hurling fan myself in mayo , we are few and far between and i make it to most game home and away to cheer on they boys , support is always just the small hurling community of the county but trying to make a game in wicklow at 2:30pm on a saturday is impossible, Due to work commitments on saturday morning i was unable to travel to wicklow for a 2:30pm game ...

Counties as this level should press for Saturday evening or Sunday games if it's an issue. It definitely keeps the crowd down. Probably linked with players being available for other games at the weekend? legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7755 - 29/05/2014 20:54:04 1595447 Link 0 |
