Do you think all ireland semi finals should be taking out of croke park
Yes.
Only if Dublin are not playing otherwise it would be mean spirited and divisive!
Taking what?
Have one semi in Croke Park and the other in Limerick, that'll be fair enough I'd have thought.

and involve begrudgery
Kerry v Dublin in Newbridge in an AI semi final would be a great spectacle.
One in Croker ( Not Dublin) and one in Cork.
I think the bigger issue here is Dublin playing 2 super 8 games in Croker, the first 2, meaning the last away game could be dead rubber for them, depending on results and who makes its through to the group obviosuly.
No
If attendances keep declining as they have been then Croke Park will only ever be full once a year for the forseeable future. Based on that fact alone then there might be some justification for taking certain semi finals out of Croke Park but geography, infrastructure and keeping sponsors on board mean that it will simply not happen.
What about the premium ticket holders and box holders? They pay a fair whack and would expect the semis in Croker.
The Leinster championship should be boycotted next year. So should the All Ireland
The GAA need a kick up the hole.
Prioritising percentages playing in Dublin over the All Ireland is insane

Judging by the number who bothered to turn up for the Connacht final the boycott has already started over there.
As for the AI finals, I don't suppose there'll be any rush for tickets in Galway this year.

Combined population of Ros and Galway 300k at most.
17k at CF.
Combined population of Neath and the 4 Dublin Counties 1.6m.
LF attendance 47k.
I'll leave te to work out the percentages.
Does any one think that constant negativity is having an Affect on attendances ,
the championship has been excellent this year with the exception of the elephant in the room, but Dublin should be seen as a prize scalp not a cause of non stop whining .
what possible good could come out of boycotting next years championship .
it would not be so much a boycott than the raising of the White flag

I'd say the lack of competition is more likely to be the driver
Ask the Kildare lads

Is 17000 odd an acceptable attendance for a Connacht final?

It seems some on here aren't able to work out percentages and they think the Leinster final had a good attendance last Sunday.

Attendances in general have fallen , to go with RTE not broadcasting any provincial matches until mid June.
The game is banjaxed as a spectacle. It's not all the Dubs' fault either ;)

If it was Mayo instead of Galway the attendance might be higher.

There's too many games on TV. Go to the match if you want to see it.
