Sam Maguire Qualifiers 2022

[David McKeown]

Is the Cork v Limerick game in the neutral venue of Corks home ground?  If it is then is this because of the agreement between Munster counties in terms of alternating home advantage

[Rossfan]

Cork are great at finding some agreement in the archives that proves they're entitled to a home game.
A procedure fine tuned for near 50 years by Frank Murphy

Why would any footballer want to play championship in a stadium that's 80% empty? Even if it's a home fixture I don't understand it.

Because it's Croke Park. It's where every player aspires to play one day!

What do you want them to do? Turn up for a game then say "I'm not playing the place is only 20% full"

Mayo people don't mind going to Croker. It's all about the journey for them.

[Eire90]

if croke park did not exists or was smaller the ireland  final could be rotated around the 4 provinces each season

For Mayo people Croke Park is more like an opera house.

Half that figure. I'd expect around 25,000 perhaps. What was the Leinster Hurling final ?
Surely alarm bells are ringing in Croke Park, it's an 82,000 seater stadium that they can barely get a quarter full. They've even stopped announcing attendances or releasing figures as it's embarrassing. Thats what corporate greed and lack of concern for supporters gets you.

The Tailteann Cup games will be even less. There are no hotels available for any of these games under 400 quid. Ireland are playing Scotland in the Aviva same time Saturday and Dermot Kennedy has a concert.

Hotels in Dublin are an absolute joke. I don't know who is booking these rooms at these rates. People are either living way beyond their means or there is a serious amount of money floating around the country somewhere.
