Expect the worst Leinster final attendance since the 80s.

This, unfortunately, is almost cast-iron guaranteed.

What would be expected? 25k? 30?

Difficult to say (for me), but just picking up on the general sentiments from Dubs themselves I would expect the motivation to attend to be severely lacking, unless the GAA can add value in some way, since the expectation is a foregone conclusion. Somewhere between those two wouldn't seem to be too far off the mark I'd say (25-30K).

39K apparently (2 games).

That's good going but Carlow brought 10k going on sales and estimates. So say Laois & Longford brought 9k that would leave 20k from Dublin, their support only naturally is way down. Leinster has killed the Goose.

8200 and something in Limerick. 8100 Mayo I would say.

If that number is close to being accurate, then the powers to be are really hoping Mayo make super 8's.

What Dublin supporter in his right mind would want to waste money and time going to see that Turkey shoot today! The Leinster final will be no better. I mean it was a waste of good RTE air time showing the game. They could have shown a double bill of some James Bond movie.

Still the GAA need a strong Dublin. That's important! Have to fight away those Soccer and Rugby crowds. Luckily there is none of those worries down the country.

I don't feel one bit sorry for the Leinster Council/Gaa with falling attendances. You reap what you sow.

However I would imagine the Super duper 8's will offset this.

So all is good. Nothing to see here.

Yeah a decent attendance overall, crying out for a bit more entertainment perhaps. Great crowd from Carlow, and stood out even more than usual given everyone else was in blue. A Carlow goal would have great for the atmosphere, but they'd a very good third quarter to put the game right in the melting pot.

Hard to be overly enthusiastic about the final's attendance prospects. Laois have some handy forwards and they'd all need to be on fire to make a match of it.

Someone mentioned the possibility of the worst Leinster final attendance since the 80s. Were the 80s that low? I think the Dublin-Offaly 83 final was my first Leinster final and I seem to remember it as big crowd, certainly a big atmosphere! I wasn't even a teenager so maybe the mind is playing tricks
