What were the attendances at county finals this year. In Derry there were 5000 which I believe was quite impressive.
5500, or thereabouts, in Armagh.
5473 at Cavan final.
Tyrone final had slightly over 8,000 at it.
Offaly football had 5,314 (and was screened live on TG4)
Offaly hurling had 6,312.
In a county with a population of c70k.

Watched the online stream and the commentator mentioned a figure of around 4k, which still isn't bad considering
1. The Armagh SFC has been a formality for Crossmaglen for the past 20 years
2. The increase in price of tickets up to £13
3. The option to watch the games live online from home for £3

The Stand (capacity 5600) was pretty full, more so than most county games, and there some hundreds, if not one thousand, in the terrace. I thought it a creditable attendance in the light of the above. I wonder how many did they get on the Internet?

That is a good attendance - maybe the CB will release the actual figures including for online.
As an aside, the online stream is a God-send and albeit temperamental at times - I would recommend anyone from other counties to maybe give it a try next year.

The money stream coming in for the CB at the minute must be pretty significant. Say there were 4000 full price patrons and maybe another 4000 online watchers(I heard that was an approximate figure for some of the streamed games this year). That is an income of approximately £65000. That is a serious taking and should make a fair dent into the financial black hole that is the county finances!

Are Armagh's finances in a bad way? Hadnt heard anything about them being in a bad state.
You'd have to imagine playing in Division 3 isnt going to do much for the counties finances, especially given the teams.
For such a small county we have always been able to raise a few quid. The fact of the matter is that money was being taken or spewed uncontrollably. Some of the rumours would have you believe that Hugh Morgan was at fault but he did more than many both in sponsorship and in raising money in certain fundraisers. That fault lies with the sticky fingers mentality that grew within the county board from the gate to the top brass. If there a full scale investigation i wouldn't like to see the outcome tbh.
That's a fairly serious accusation there.
Longford had 4,500.
As it was a double header with the hurling final the estimated split would be:
Football supporters 4,550
Hurling supporters -50

Non-North Mayo types.
Could be that way for a while.
2,910 at the Limerick hurling Final, according to the 'Daily Cork'. That's a shocking figure, for a county with a massive population, and who hurling-wise are approaching the crest of a wave.

That seems a very high figure! I didn't see the game or read anything about the crowd size and the Cork finals are often the best attended in the country but I'm pretty sure it's usually closer to the 15,000 mark, not the 30,000, is it not? Huge crowd if it's true.
I saw 12k quoted for the Cork final.

How? I know Tooreen well and it's tiny. Ballyhuanis is no big town either and they are pretty closely related to the Tooreen lads too - Keith Higgins' older brother used to hurl for Tooreen. There's more interest in hurling in Roscommon and we we would be lucky to get 250 at a county final.

I was at one years ago and the figure was over 20,000. It was the time a seriously bulked up Setanta came back from Oz and threw The Rock around the place until Cloyne moved him.
The was well over 20,000 at a few football finals as well but they would be the exception rather than the rule. I wouldn't think this years hurling would have captured the imagination as the Sars would have been excepted to win handy I'd say.

Biggest crowd in years at a Cork final, yes. Due mainly to Ballincollig being in their first final and being the only club in a huge satellite town of around 20k. Carbery Rangers have quite a big catchment area also.
Back in the day there was 25,000 at a Cork final between 2 West Cork clubs, Castlehaven and O'Donovan Rossa (Skibbereen).
Going to be a big crowd at the Kerry final Sunday I would say given that Austin Stacks are playing..and it's on in Austin Stack park! It's not their home ground but it is only a mile from it. I'd say good chance of 10k+.

I've never seen this type of support at a club final before, the Rockies seem to have a tremendous support base.

Sorry for the questions but how many clubs are in Tralee and what would the population of the town be? Trying to think of the biggest supported club sides in Ulster. Cross tend to take half of South Armagh to their games so they would be big. Always remember Errigal Ciaran having big support. In Derry it would probably be Ballinderry and Bellaghy. Success tends to bring the crowd.

Tralee must have 20k at this stage between town and immediate hinterland. 4 clubs in the town, Austin Stacks, Kerins O'Rahillys, John Mitchels and Na Gaeil. Ballymacelligott, St Pats Blennerville and Churchill would be no more than a few minutes drive from the town aswell.
Stacks (aka Rock Street/Rockies) and Rahillys (aka Strand Road, aka The Naries) are the 2 strongest clubs by far at the moment. John Mitchels are the traditional powerhouse having won oodles of titles, including 5 in a row in the late 50s/early 60s. They have just moved out of their traditional base (next door to Austin Stack park) to a greenfield site on the Killarney road. Na Gaeil are a decent club aswell. A lot of their players have gotten poached by Stacks over the years, but they have produced some excellent underage players in recent times which should keep them going.
Also, has nobody spotted who the guy leading the chanting on the loudspeaker in that Austin Stacks video is?! ::) ;D
Good man C_T.
What about Killarney? Just Dr Crokes and Legion there? Is Legion the smaller relation of the 2?

Crokes, Legion and Spa also. Plus just outside the town you have Fossa and Kilcummin drawing players. Legion have been second best to Crokes for a while but beat them this year in Senior championship and have an excellent set of young fellas coming through. Having Jameso is going to help them aswell in the battle for hearts and minds of kids.
Cheers C_T.
Interesting dynamic with a large regional town and new families moving in/out and the ensuing fight for young players to join a club. Something we don't really have in South Derry with villages and small towns the norm.

Yeah it's a free for all in Tralee and Killarney. Players will follow family links but of course those with no connection either way are there for the taking.
Outside of that though, things would be as tribal as South Derry or anywhere. You play for where you're from, end of.

Close links between Mullinalaghta and a slice of south Cavan (Mullahoran and Gowna especially) and Mullinalaghta were in the final for the first time since '52. Would have been bigger except that Arva and Ballymachugh were in the Cavan Junior Final at the same time.

I heard one of the Dromintee lads had a pizza delivered to the pitch.
Surely there is a case for barring the Armagh county champions from the provincial and AI competition if that is what passes for a "championship" game in Armagh.
It brings the whole championship into disrepute.
The odd thing is that teams from other places seem to have considerable difficulty beating the team that emerged from such a "disreputable" championship, certainly Kerry's best croked at the challenge.
