At least 40% of that figure are non-nationals or Irish Non Dubs,

Yes but a whopping 57% (I made that % up just like you did) of those will be cheering on their sons who are playing for Dublin. All their Dub siblings will be there too.

Its not what you bring to Croke Park, its what you take home that matters.

@ Liam

I'm curious to see how you believe Soccer to be a distant second in Donegal. Do you have any facts to back this up?

Also unrelated to Liam - I like the way when you respond in kind to someone 'having a laugh' on the forum - you're told to lighten up...what's good for the goose and all that ;-)

BTW - There's a lot of great Dubs fans out there (I Live in Dublin) most of you are genuinely great craic and sporting. Just stop coming out with the silly stuff... it only plays into our hands ;-)

D'uh Molly, I referred that to some of you Dubs posters, read my post. And like I said, self-promoting threads like this on could come back to haunt you if your team is beaten.

And just because Croker is on your doorstep & ye are overpopulated doesn't put you above supporters of anyone else, every other county has supporters as passionate & as loyal as you, if not as numbered.

some poster said that gaa is donegal main sport by a mile i cant see how that is true alot of people would have soccer number 1. it was also said that 40% of the dubs population arent even dubs so you cant count them but sure in donegal about 79% of people are scottish so you cant really put that argument against donegal.

Good Point on the 79% Donny

And to use Dublin Logic about 10 % of us are part Sheep... ;-)

Cos you should know better than basing serious points on such silly logic :)

Where'd you get the 79%?

Lifford Gael (Donegal) - Posts: 1925 - 23/08/2011 15:40:02    1017313

hahaha al you mad thing part sheep haha thaught that was the kildare lads ,
whats all the moaning and crying about lets just look forward to a great game and full house thats the main thing
no other sport in ireland could get 82 thousand into croke park this year with the recession so we should be delighted with the interest from both countys

Complete nonsense!!

Sorry hill16man...I was referring to the 79% Scottish bit....the 10% part sheep might be a slight overexaggeration though!!

Lifford Gael (Donegal) - Posts: 1925 - 23/08/2011 15:46:29    1017322

My thoughts exactly Lifford Gael.

And Well said Hill !6...

Lets see, Man Utd are playing Arsenal at 4 o clock, should be over by 6 or so, that means the dubs fans will make their way down at that time so probably a 2 and a half hour delay to throw in

Congratulations to the many many Dublin supporters for deciding to make the long trek to Croker. Its a pity you didn't give your hurlers the same respect in their semi final.

As I mentioned earlier on Yellow Yellow, its not the Dubs thats the attraction in Croker this weekend....its Donegal.......!!!
