4k in Carrick* and De Páirc. About what you'd expect at those 2 fixtures.
Dungarvan just over 1k, probably about what you'd expect.
Didn't see any figures for Leinster where crowds have been declining for years in a one team Competition.
Cavan v Monaghan was a pretty poor turn out for a fixture which regularly drew 5 figure crowds.

*€30 for a stand seat was a disgrace for a Qtr Final. No wonder the Stand was half empty.

Kildare won 3 Leinster SFCs in the last 90 or so years so hardly sleeping giants.
Meath with all their winning tradition up to the early years of the Century have fallen a long way.

It might that but most ordinary folk especially South of a line from mid Sligo to Ardee have about 9 higher priorities.

While Harris was ranting to the converted yesterday someone needs to tell him it's not and won't be a 1 party Government.

There never was a serious Connacht Hurling Championship.
There used to be a serious competitive Leinster Championship as recently as 2004.

Handy win for Monaghan tomorrow?

"Gael" is such a quaint old term  ;D
Best of luck to him personally but I'd have expected a "GAA Special" to be about gaelic games players not some ladeen playing another sport overseas.

The only sport where the first reaction to a team announcement is "That team won't be starting"

GAA special starts off with a buicín who's taking up Yankee stuff.
Switched off at that stage.

Will they be handing the "sacked officers" over to the Hague for a war crimes trial?

Too much hurley stuff infecting this thread😳
Back to football I see Smug Jim expects to be trialling a scatter of new football rules in League AND Championship in 2025!

Not to mention taking frees from the hand in the right place :o

Yep, in a nutshell alright.

("Good God they're killing white people" "We can't be having that")

I'd imagine Galway are hoping to have everyone available for the AI series.
They have 2 handy Connacht games coming up and they'll probably take the Connacht Final as they find it.

Sligo v Leitrim could go either way but looks like Ros Andy is concentrating more on the u20s so shoild be a win for Sligo.

They'd much rather the shock horror €20bn a year headline and move on.
