Ahoy,
Looking for a bit of collaborative help from the board here, for the purposes of something I'm writing. All bar the very last of the county finals have been played by now and I'm curious as to the attendances, and the average that exists across the country for these games. A few were surprisingly high, others were lower than I thought. However it would be nice to get the full picture - so if people could help me fill in the gaps here, that would be great. I'm only including the McCarthy Cup counties in hurling, since it would be a bit of a misnomer to include county finals like Leitrim or Sligo hurling, or Kilkenny football for that matter.
Ye might just mention if there were any particularly unusual circumstances either, if aware - for example if they played a Limerick final on the same day Munster were playing in Thomond, or if the game threw in any time other than a Sunday afternoon. Similarly, if ye're aware that an attendance was a couple of thousand higher or lower than the norm for some reason, let me know.
Thanks kindly!!
