Attendances

Is there a way of parachuting Mayo into an AI Semi final? That'd get the crowds up. We could build up the hype by saying Mayo teams don't throw in the towel like the fancy Dan's and ignore how sh1te they were in the League and Championship in 2018. Just live off past glories from the last half decade.

If Mayo are finished as a genuine threat to Dublin and Kerry don't get their act together quickly, then attendances and TV viewing figures will fall off a cliff.

All due respects to Galway but unles its a Dublin Kerry final there are alot of dubs supporters that coudnt be bothered going. Its be a worrying trend, the number of supporters coming to support the Dubs is decreasing year on year.

That's nonsense

Really?

No neutrals going to games anymore
Often people would go to the semi finals as they knew they wouldn't get tickets for a final

True but you will still get plenty of neutrals at the AI final in a few weeks.

It's expensive enough following your own team!

Not if you're from Derry it isn't!

€45 ticket price is unrealistic. QTR final groups were €30   IN a compressed season , people can't afford the number of games from one pay cheque.

The club pass was good value at €15 yesterday. Seats were poor but couldn't complain. Davin end was full of clubs from Antrim and Cavan and Tyrone

tell me about it. Resorted to going to tyrone games instead and supporting the opposition. So bitter.

the tickets were woeful imho, also the big screen didn't show many replays of incidents. I definitely wouldn't be getting these type of tickets again.

That's a good point re the monthly paycheques. 4 games essentially coming on the back of one another is a decent chunk of change for a family.

We shorten the Inter County season,  we bring in 2 extra football Rounds and 4 Hurling ones so something has to give.
Peoples' pockets for a start.
Not everyone lives within a €2 Bus fare of Croker  and of course those who make fixtures and other decisions don't pay in anyway.
Still Laythrum or Longford etc would like to have such problems
