Very poor Galway crowd here
You can forget about Sean Cavanagh as far as he's a man!

Poor enough attendance in Croke Park, there might be as many tomorrow.

54k. Per population Dublin are brutally supported. The GAA have killed their own cash cow.

Galway nothing special either.

I can't recall the last time that Dublin had less than 80K at All Ireland semi final.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Agreed. Wonder will they have a super 4 after the super 8s to boost the coffers next year.

They cant be bothered turning up for a semi final anymore. The GAA cash cow is drying up. They will need to invest another few million. Maybe get the fans a sposored car.

People would turn up if there was competition and doubts over who might win  -like the hurley
Davy's given us a dream to cling to
We're going to bring home the SAM

From what I could see relatively tame Galway support

Galway have always been sunshinish supporters

Sure I know 3 or 4 lads myself that chose to go to the hurling next week instead of the football today. That and the creeping inevitability that Dublin were going to win anyway hit the attendance.

I think Sunday Bloody Sunday will beat the Dubs paltry 54k last night.

Is there a way of parachuting Mayo into an AI Semi final? That'd get the crowds up. We could build up the hype by saying Mayo teams don't throw in the towel like the fancy Dan's and ignore how sh1te they were in the League and Championship in 2018. Just live off past glories from the last half decade.

Take Tyrone They can draw on 100000
for their team due to sectarian division
Dublin CSO/Irl pop est 2018 is 1.35m
Estimates of GAA investments per member
for development etc. in Dublin are five times
higher than the other Counties like Tyrone
So Dub potential playing pop 13.5 times Tyrone the
investment factor multiples that by 5 
Ie. Dub overall advantage in resources is
13.5x5=67.5 to 1 for Tyrone.
Other Counties have a lots worse resource
disadvantage than Tyrone
using this formulae to give a rough idea of comparability
So Dubs win everything play keep ball
Result total boredom no money
Croke Park sold to U2 and rugby and GAA withers
GAA HQ Thurles hurling best game in world
well played in 10 Counties at best lives on
dull boring drunken Dub supporter dominated
football dies
Do we want this? Maybe
But let's have one last try to balance the resources and
effort around the Country stopping media creation Dublin domination
and get back to club roots
Let's make the money work for the people all the people fairly.

A decent chunk of that 1.3 million probably aren't playing football tbf

I was surprised at the capacity of Healy Park (16.5K). Obviously it has been capped but it could easily have fitted in another 2-3k. There was a good bit of space where we were stood. I thought I remembered it holding 20k. Maybe not.

Safety is not just about space but how quickly you can evacuate the crowd in an emergency and an old style ground like Healy Park fails on that point due to its immediate congestion and difficulty for emergency services to reach all parts while people filter out.
