Replying To Mfs: "6500 at Dublin Roscommon seems very low for a Division 1 game between those 2 teams. I thought Roscommon would have brought all that on their own. Less than 2 hours from Dublin." Would have said there was significantly more there and i was there myself, seems like a bit of an after thought "offical" attendance. I thought the stadium announcer said 9 someting k on the day, but i wasnt really minding to be honest and was a bit muffled etc. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4515 - 06/03/2019 13:46:58 2170629 Link
Replying To Jack_Goff: "Yeah thought that would have 10k. So are attendances looking up or down on last year's league?" I'd say they were up until last weekend when the bad weather definitely hit crowds. I'd say Clare and Limerick would have nearly filled Ennis on a good day. 8,409 was fantastic given the conditions. Kerry Monaghan bringing 6,500 was super as well. Hard to judge one league against another. The weather is definitely a factor. A few weekends like last weekend could have a big impact on overall crowds. Of course the experts would conveniently ignore that and just look at the stats and blame it on the standard of football! tomhealycork (Cork) - Posts: 80 - 06/03/2019 15:10:00 2170655 Link

Some crowd at Meath v Kildare despite the bad weather. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 06/03/2019 17:17:40 2170688 Link
Replying To Mfs: "6500 at Dublin Roscommon seems very low for a Division 1 game between those 2 teams. I thought Roscommon would have brought all that on their own. Less than 2 hours from Dublin." Think there was at least 8/9k but thats an estimate from locals i dont believe it though leamhcanhill16 (Dublin) - Posts: 14 - 06/03/2019 22:53:59 2170751 Link
Replying To royaldunne: "Some crowd at Meath v Kildare despite the bad weather." Great crowd for Kildare and Meath is right Local derby,competitive game is this the way forward? leamhcanhill16 (Dublin) - Posts: 14 - 06/03/2019 23:03:44 2170752 Link
What crowds were at the hurling? Jack_Goff (Meath) - Posts: 2920 - 11/03/2019 03:38:44 2171554 Link
Does anyone know where I can get the attendances of the Croke Park double header of Division 3 final and division 4 final for the past few years? Hoganstand.com's results archive doesn't have them; Wikipedia doesn't have them; the couple of reports I've seen linked to on the Wikipedia pages don't have them. Thanks.

Replying To Blackbog: "ITVWAS CIRCA 8K LAST YEAR" Thanks. I did see attendances of 5,823 for 2017 and a "deplorable" 8,654 ("there was certainly less than half that in the Hogan Stand for the opener. Poor") in 2014 as reported by the Irish Examiner, relayed in turn by tipperary.gaa.ie. Tacaí Liatroma (Leitrim) - Posts: 1166 - 11/03/2019 11:43:04 2171596 Link
Replying To Jack_Goff: "What crowds were at the hurling?" Waterford Galway 3,371 Cork Tipp 3,681 Wexford Kilkenny 6,000 Limerick Laois 4,800 (mostly Limerick) Tiny attendance of only a few hundred at Offaly Carlow, surprised at this with how Carlow are going. Sure they lost last week but it was all to play for there, effectively proving they are worthy of their place in the McCarthy Cup. Small attendances over all, especially for Cork vs Tipp. Shocking weather and the 6 nations definitely played a part in this. tomhealycork (Cork) - Posts: 80 - 11/03/2019 11:45:44 2171597 Link

Will the bandwagon get going when the rugby is over and the sun comes out for championship? Jack_Goff (Meath) - Posts: 2920 - 11/03/2019 13:54:41 2171638 Link
Replying To Jack_Goff: "Yeah corks attendances seem to be poor. Will the bandwagon get going when the rugby is over and the sun comes out for championship?" I don't know to be honest. Small crowd at the Clare game in Pairc Ui Rinn too. Usually Cork have 7 to 10k depending on the opposition. The lack of relegation seems to have diluted the league a bit. I wonder would there have been many more there if the rugby wasn't on. Not a huge amount I'd say given the conditions. The weather was shocking. The 2 home performances up to this (Wexford and Clare) were very poor so as well. They beat Clare but definitely didn't look the better team. 15 placed balls and a bit of luck got them the win. There has been little to excite Cork fans in this league. I'd say a lot decide it just wasn't worth getting soaked and half frozen for. I was tempted to give it a miss myself but went in the end. tomhealycork (Cork) - Posts: 80 - 11/03/2019 15:13:07 2171664 Link
I'd say there was at least 2k missing from that Galway Waterford game because of the fact that it was a postponed game. There were loads of people from Galway (myself included) who made the long journey for the postponed game who didnt travel the second day PoolSturgeon (Galway) - Posts: 2011 - 11/03/2019 20:18:10 2171728 Link
I reckon Cork will be back in a big way come summer. There has been a bit of a backlash to the county board recently. A lot are disgusted that Pairc Ui Chaoimh is not being used too. I expect big big crowds at both the Tipp and Waterford games come summer, with the latter being played on a Saturday night. They should both be great occasions! Bring it on!

1,400 Meath v Clare 18,000 for club finals. Poor. 20,000 Dublin v Tyrone 10,000+ Mayo v Kerry 3,500 Tipp v Dublin Jack_Goff (Meath) - Posts: 2920 - 18/03/2019 01:13:37 2173291 Link
Waterford Clare 2,753 Galway v Wex / Galway v Ros 7,643 Kilkenny Cork little over 1,000 according to the examiner, meaning less game I suppose Massive crowds in the league at the start that tailed off near the end particularly in hurling where there wasn't a lot to play. Weather and 6 nations over the past few weekends definitely big factors. tomhealycork (Cork) - Posts: 80 - 19/03/2019 11:17:14 2173640 Link
Kilkenny on Sunday unusual location for league semi finals. Cant see a very big crowd there, Limerick will bring half what would go to Thurles which will still probably be the biggest of the 4 teams. Dublin have poor hurling support, Waterford average recently and its the guts of 3 hours from galway city to Kilkenny?? 18,000 be a reasonable guess.

Over 13,000 was the official attendance in Castlebar today. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11550 - 24/03/2019 19:27:09 2174888 Link
