Match Attendances

[Dinny Breen]

I expect there will less than 40k in Croke Park on Sunday - recent trends would normally put the attendance at 45-50K although when Kildare were going well in 2011 it was nearly 60k at the game. Dublin will bring the majority but it might be as low as 20-25K, Kildare maybe 2K and East and Westmeath 10K. Zero promotion, a lot of apathy and €30 a ticket.

As in they would be happy with the attendance? Would the trend not worry them?

They should be worried - games Sunday should be in Mullingar & Navan - another soulless Sunday in prospect

Yea I think everyone in Leinster would agree on that.

No Corporate Boxes  or Premium Seats in Mullingar or Navan.
Have to have a load of events for them well heeled folks.

People get hung up on the attendance figures, but that is not where the big bucks are. Add in the beer and over priced hot dogs sales and, that is why Croker is ka-ching central for the Leinster Council. The place will have all the atmosphere of a morgue though....

€20 or £16 adult price and £8 for juveniles a disgrace today at St Johns on Whiterock Road.  Same at the Marshes etc I assume.  Catch a fcukin grip GAA.

Mental. To stand on a grass bank.

£16 for a seat and a thoroughly entertaining 90 minutes in the Marshes. Decent value.

I felel your pain though.

Agree about the entertainment but £16 is still too dear.

It is. As a neutral I struck lucky. I had thought about going to Corrigan to watch the Antrim Limerick game.

As an irrelevant comparison, I paid €15 into a bundesliga match in the Olympic stadium in Berlin six weeks ago.

Nearly 43K in the end, I have no idea where they were all hiding, was the Upper Hogan open or something?

[Jinxy]

I was lower Hogan but I would have estimated the crowd to be in the low forty thousands alright.

[Rossfan]

Haven't seen any official figures except for 1,623 at Derry v Louth but I suspect the 8 Qualifier games hardly attracted 10,000 between them.

[commonman]

€20 to see Sligo Leitrim in the qualifiers tomorrow evening, while you can get into terrace in breffni for Donegal Monaghan for €15. Where is the sense in this?
