Attendances today were not stellar. Galway v Tyrone and Kerry v Mayo are games as big as you get involving different provinces. By contrast Semple stadium is sold out for the hurling tomorrow. One problem in modern Ireland is that it is difficult to get accommodation at a reasonable price if you wanted to make a weekend of an away game.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

23k in Killarney.
Pearse looked like 7k?
Ennis maybe 3k?
Remember we're a noble race from a land where Kings once trod.

Viewing the highlights seem to be tiny crowds at all of the Tailteann cup games, early days yet but the knock out games in that competition last year attracted more interest.

There will be nobody at the TC games until knockout!
