Jesus will the Leinster football Championship break the 100k barrier, will be the worst year on record.

The obvious solution is give more money to Dublin and play all the games in Croke Park.

I know create a round robin series at the quarter final stage. Champions league like. Give Dublin the chance to hammer each County one by one at home. Then they can play their semi final at home and their final at home. We all know Dublin have the best travelling fans in the country and are not afraid to walk, use Dublin bus or the Dart. Some are even known to cycle to matches.


Which has what to do with Dublin footballers excellence.....

Galway Sligo attendance affected by the venue and Mayo or Ros not playing the home team I suspect.

I dont think Dinny Breen or Amanda Bunker need any excuse to comment on the dubs. Seem to have a load in their trousers for them

A fair bit, if you look at how sporting teams perform result wise in home games.

Dinny Breen

Excellence or financial doping. People are too dumb to see the co-relation. The GAA have destroyed the Leinster Championship, people have voted with their feet.

Are you taking the piss out of Galway football supporters, Mick?

Another poor Ulster attendance on a fine day.
in absolute numbers, compared to other counties with multiples of the populations of Monaghan or Fermanagh, yes.

Monaghan and Fermanagh are 2 of the smallest counties population wise in Ireland.
Fermanagh has a population of 61,805 , 60% of whom are catholics/ nationalists, so really only 40,000 of a county population from a GAA perspective. Monaghan has about 60,000 so a combination population of about 100,000
For those 2 counties to have 10000 at a game, that's ten percent of their populations, so far from desperate.

The joint population of Cork and Limerick is 750,000. If they managed to have 10% of their population turn up, that'd be an attendance of  75,000 but they only got 35,000 !

I am perfectly able to do sums, thank you. How come the crowd at Donegal and Cavan was so poor?
The fact is that crowds are less than before, and this might be one of the worst attended Ulster championships for a long time.

There were 93,009 last year in total to semi final stage and 100,489 the previous year. This year there are about 59,000 so far and Down and Donegal is not going to break records either.

Smaller populated counties with lesser support like Fermanagh and Monaghan have gotten futher this year. The wind has been knocked out of Tyrone since last years capitulation to Dublin. Donegal supporters just don't believe in Donegal like they did circa 2011-2014. Derry, Down, Cavan, Antrim and Armagh have little or no faith. In reality nobody believes in their county in Ulster anymore! Leinster is the same bar ''CLUB AIG''. Munster is returning to old school and Connacht flatters to deceive.

munchkin

was going to say something similar. Seeing Tyrone and Armagh already knocked out in the first game doesn't help the attendance figures as their supporters tend to travel in numbers, if the game is good. 
If you look over the attendances over the years, Down can also contribute to a tidy overall average as you'd have 15000 in Newry for a home game against Tyrone or Armagh (of course also helped by away supporters), but this year only 5000 bothered turning up to see them hammer Antrim.

As for why Donegal v Cavan attendance was relatively low, I'd say the cavan following was low enough given that there wasnt much hope of a win with the injury situation, not least with star player McVeety, and most likely the game wasnt that attractive for the Donegal supporters to have them turn out in force, for what was only a preliminary game, and with potentially another 3 match days out to shell out cash for for travel and tickets in the Ulster championship .
