The combined population of Blackrock and Togher/Cork city centre must be 50,000 is it?

It’s not Dublin either so it’s obviously going to draw a massive crowd after it being the first city final in 40 years.

Tipperary will never have those crowds due to population in the county although if a South team reached a final (rare as it is) it generally draws a big crowd.

Dublin have way bigger population and draw small crowds.

“GAA” is not really followed in Dublin outside the Dublin senior teams.

Cork is a normal GAA county.

[ScorpioLyons]

They only know about the Koh Samui cup up in the Pale.

[balbec]

The Barrs will walk this.

[Watchthepost]

What’s the population of Blackrock? I know Togher is a big populated area alright

[backinatracksuit]

Hard to say though I’m sure it’s available online, Blackrock would draw a lot from from Ballinlough, nearly all the way to Douglas, not so many from Mahon,
The Barrs have Togher, Ballyphehane, sone of Turners cross and all the way to Wilton

Two large urban areas, I’d say the Barrs have a bigger population

Netiher Blackrock or St Finbarrs are fielding much at the top underage grades these days, just wouldnt have the pick to compete against some of the East Cork “superclub” sides were all the housing is gone into the last 20 yrs. Pretty much the same for the rest of the city other than Douglas.

[AlanHQ]

Awful day down here. Id same estimates of 20k + are going to be well off the mark. Blackrock have to win, theyre at their peak and have v little coming through. Barrs could win hatful over the next few yrs if they win today.

The backtracking on the “big crowd at the Little All Ireland” because of a sup of rain, after all the bravado and tall talk in the build up, is in many ways an accurate and neat summation of what Cork Hurling now is.

If there’s not a crowd close to 40k at this ye’ll never hear the end of it.

What was Landers predicting?

[BruidheanChaorthainn]

Landers was expecting 50k.

[Thomas_Brady]

50k

[Perez2017]

Bigger crowd than Limerick, Tipperary and Waterford finals combined on a dank wet day. Some going

I told you before that the only time you get anything close to a capacity crowd in Franks playpen is when they organise a concert, a game of rugger or when the now three in a row all Ireland champions come to town

Bigger crowd today than 4 Limerick finals combined

[YellowBib]

There was barely a thousand people at NAP and Liberties yesterday

[iron_mike]

And??? Never denied it. But Limerick never claimed their county final as “the little All Ireland” and then you have Landers blowholing at the other side. But do carry on.

Morto for them. There was 5k + at the Cork Junior final last night.

@YellowBib

There was barely a 1000 Cork lads in Croke Park at half time in last years final

[Perez2017]

Ballygiblin have a massive following for what was always a football area.

[Batigol]

Cork, a county of 581,000 people, is gonna get a bigger crowd than Limerick, a county of 205,000, at its COUNTY final guys.
