Replying To dahayeser: "30,013 Tipp v Cork 14,661 Mayo v Sligo 10,083 Donegal v Antrim 7,473 Monaghan v Fermanagh Interesting how the football attendances are pretty much on a par with the league crowds those counties get. Go back 20 years and there would be a few thousand more there for championship but the league crowd would be very small." Said the same at the game in Castlebar. The attendance was roughly the same for the Donegal league game. I think people are bored with the current championship format at least in the early rounds. There are exceptions though....the Hurling had a great crowd. Galway v Mayo will have over 20,000 at it in three weeks time. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11551 - 22/05/2017 17:28:57 1989493 Link

A minor football game at the same stage of the championship as a senior hurling game, both local derbys, with the minor getting more supporters is surprising (although there would be a stronger football following in Cavan per capita than pretty much anywhere else). I remember the day of our county final last year, Dundalk were playing at home in the game where a win won them the title, and there were more than twice as many people at the Cavan final. GAA is still absolutely streets ahead of all other sports in this country and will continue to be for years to come! cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5245 - 01/06/2017 11:43:20 1992979 Link
Clare vs Limerick - 19,168 dahayeser (Cork) - Posts: 366 - 06/06/2017 17:24:36 1995791 Link
Galway Mayo 23,000+ Wexford Kilkenny 18,467 Offaly Westmeath 8,723 Clare Kerry 5,786 Cork Tipp 4,570 Ring, Rackard and Magher Cups in Croke Park 5,618 Didn't see a figure for Cavan - Monaghan. Small crowd at both Munster semi finals. Clare Kerry usually attracts more. Given last years result combined with Tipps rise and Corks decline I though that fixture would attract more too. I know we are a disaster in Cork but I expected Tipp would bring a few thousand to see if they could take Cork for a second year in a row! dahayeser (Cork) - Posts: 366 - 12/06/2017 10:17:36 1998306 Link
5600 for Ring/Rackard/Meagher Hurling finals wouldn't be too bad if they were played in smaller ground to improve atmosphere. I totally understand the players wanting to play in Croke Park however. The GAA should be aiming to get the crowd numbers up to about 10-15K for these over next few years. Great win for the Oakleafers.

It would seem to me like the crowds & attendance figures for the hurling & football provincial championships thus far are up on the last couple of years. Any reasons why? keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 13/06/2017 16:28:05 1999188 Link
Replying To keeper7: "It would seem to me like the crowds & attendance figures for the hurling & football provincial championships thus far are up on the last couple of years. Any reasons why?" Just speculating but there's been some interesting match ups so far this year in the Provincial championships. The hurling looks open this year. In the football Tipp Cork, Mayo Galway and Monaghan Cavan were all tight enough with the bookies, no favourite was shorter than 1-2. Going to be similar with Donegal Tyrone and Kildare Meath. You'd expect good crowds at the Provincial finals this year. Cork Kerry, Meath/Kildare Dublin, Munster hurling final should be a close game either way, Leinster hurling final is a novel pairing. I'd like a Donegal Monaghan Ulster final, I think both teams are more expansive now than recent years. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4516 - 13/06/2017 17:04:13 1999212 Link

Replying To keeper7: "Economy-related at all?" Yeah probably. Sky sports subscriptions appear to be down also, might be contributing small to people having more money to go to live games. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4516 - 14/06/2017 16:35:13 1999654 Link
