Replying To wexico15: "Six Nations draws huge tv numbers and high profile intercounty on TV yesterday too. Heard a suggestion yesterday that the new St Brigid's day Bank Holiday ( 1st Monday of February) should become the new club finals day, I wouldn't mind that idea myself." It would be a good slot to have the club finals but split season will prevent it. After the next congress it's likely the national league will be linked in some form to the championships. With the leagues due to start at the end of January and the club having it's own window later in the year, I think it would be fair for inter county teams to expect to have their squads available for the start of the national leagues, especially when it'll become more important than before. I also expect the Sigerson will be given a new slot in the diary for those same reasons. sam1884 (UK) - Posts: 999 - 17/02/2022 11:17:00 2400826 Link
Replying To Saynothing: "They might as well have got rid of September when they were at it, it's a nothing of a month without the All Ireland finals." I take that its been a long time since you stepped foot inside a club field... bostonredsox (Wexford) - Posts: 4368 - 17/02/2022 12:57:25 2400846 Link
Replying To wexico15: "I take that its been a long time since you stepped foot inside a club field..." You take it whatever way you want, doesn't remove the fact that the money men are looking to condense the GAA fixtures to suit themselves.

Are U16s that get in for free counted in the attendance figures that gets published. Gaa_lover (USA) - Posts: 3347 - 17/02/2022 17:09:51 2400893 Link
Replying To Gaa_lover: "Are U16s that get in for free counted in the attendance figures that gets published." I wouldn't say so as they don't get any type of ticket so no way of knowing how many go in. Seanfanbocht (Roscommon) - Posts: 1417 - 17/02/2022 19:22:10 2400909 Link
Replying To Seanfanbocht: "I wouldn't say so as they don't get any type of ticket so no way of knowing how many go in." From an event management thats crazy thats still happening in this day and age. anyone going in even for free should be ticketed so they know how many are in each section of ground etc. KillingFields (Limerick) - Posts: 3510 - 17/02/2022 20:58:18 2400925 Link
They are "clicked" in at the gates I believe. But every ground could be different. 9k was the official attendance for Mayo v Donegal in Sligo but talking to a sligo man he reckoned there was at least 12k at the game so maybe u16s were not counted. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11230 - 18/02/2022 08:37:16 2400938 Link
Replying To ForeverBlue2: "With the sort of fare been offered in football lately it wouldn't take a lot of time to count the cash because nobody will turn up…. Hurling is much more entertaining" Over 43,000 at the 4 division one football league games at the weekend. Not too often you'd get that kind of number at a round of division one hurling games. Division one football has been very entertaining to date. A Another (None) - Posts: 193 - 22/02/2022 14:06:07 2401880 Link
Replying To A Another: "Over 43,000 at the 4 division one football league games at the weekend. Not too often you'd get that kind of number at a round of division one hurling games. Division one football has been very entertaining to date." 24k at Dublin Mayo and 11k at Armagh Monaghan, small crowds on Sunday with the terrible weather. bostonredsox (Wexford) - Posts: 4368 - 22/02/2022 18:45:30 2401973 Link

Division one football has been very entertaining to date." Crowds are good all round . I wouldn't be putting football v hurling as a barometer. Obviously there are more counties at the football . Limerick v Cork in the hurling will draw a big crowd this Sunday OpenStand (Limerick) - Posts: 672 - 22/02/2022 20:34:32 2401989 Link

Limerick Cork 12,081 (Examiner) Mayo Armagh 11,000 (Times) Some fans those Mayo lads when you consider this home game was played in Roscommon. Looked like a good Armagh contingent there too. Newbridge looked close to full for Kildare vs Dubs too, close to 10k I'd say? Serious crowd. The league is booming. dahayeser (Cork) - Posts: 337 - 28/02/2022 19:15:53 2403110 Link
Cork v Galway 13,063 Clare Limerick 10,016 Waterford Tipp 5,800 Good crowd in Parnell Park for Dublin Kilkenny too. I don't see a figure for that anywhere though dahayeser (Cork) - Posts: 337 - 08/03/2022 15:18:28 2404485 Link
Replying To Gaa_lover: "Are U16s that get in for free counted in the attendance figures that gets published." was told by croke park years ago, you always need to add 25% to the official figure to get thr exact crowd, that was in 90s Stmunnsriver (Wexford) - Posts: 2842 - 15/03/2022 10:26:26 2405492 Link
what was the crowds al league finals? the hurling crowd looked small Stmunnsriver (Wexford) - Posts: 2842 - 04/04/2022 15:52:22 2409572 Link
Replying To Stmunnsriver: "what was the crowds al league finals? the hurling crowd looked small" 18,930 at the hurling, 31,506 in croke park yesterday, don't know about Saturday. bostonredsox (Wexford) - Posts: 4368 - 04/04/2022 16:01:40 2409576 Link
Replying To Stmunnsriver: "what was the crowds al league finals? the hurling crowd looked small" Div 3,4 finals a little over 9k and for yesterday at the Div 1 and 2 finals 31,500 but again i don't think U16s are included in those figures.
