Gaa split season,killing Meath football since 2011

[Kid_Curry]

No one in Graiguecullen gives a flying fuck about hurling. In fact, I’d say there’s people in Graiguecullen who’ve never heard of hurling.

[ChairmanDan]

They care in Graigueullen if they feel they’re getting shafted by Carlow.

[Kid_Curry]

Not about hurling. It doesn’t register in Graigue. No one in Graigue knew Laois were hurling today.

[BruidheanChaorthainn]

Nobody in croke park seems to care about hurling either

True. Actually as long as hurling tips along in 7 or 8 counties, everyone seems happy.
Fuck the Wicklows, Carlows and Westmeaths. Mullockers.

Has there ever been a hurler in Graigue?

Yes. Teddy McCarthy gave out football medals there in 1993.

Can you imagine if Munster v Leinster was on rugby go and Clare v Waterford was on Rte. the difference of viewership and coverage.

The split season and round robin has definitely breathed life back into provincial rugby.

29,000 for the 2 biggest rugby teams in Ireland in cup semi final is pitiful. Limerick v Clare and Cork.v Tipp in the mickey mouse round robins as you call them had more​:grinning:

29k was a very good crowd. I wasn’t sure it would break 25k. Given they’d a week to sell ticket.

Ah come here, with the support Leinster have should be a sell out. Stormers had a week to sell tickets for a semi v Connacht and sold 45,000.

Leinster support isn’t the same as before. They didn’t sell out last years semi final in the rds.

They sold all the tickets that were available. As far as I can make out they took a view that Glasgow would beat Munster so had gambled that the capped lower attendance would be enough. They then organised the logistics and staffing for that crowd. It was too late to adjust it up when munster won

In Cape town population 4m+

Pro rata I’d say the Aviva attendance, even without the cap on tickets sold, stands up to that comparison

The Gahliban are seething

The Gahliban are seething

It’s a bit unhinged

Shows how nervy they are about the way the gaa is gone recently. Scandal after scandal and attendances struggling.

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

So weird, a scandal on a daily basis but up in arms about a team that seem to have a home game quite regulalrly “only” selling 30k tickets

The scandals won’t be slowing down either.

A prominent Limerick player is set to be sentenced in the coming weeks. Word on the street is that it won’t end well for him

Leinster and Munster must have a combined population of 2 million and sold less tickets than round robin hurling games.

[ChairmanDan]

I don’t have the time to read back on the thread. Has the underage mentor getting jailed at Wexford Circuit Court on Friday got an airing yet? I believe it’s the first time in the GAA that a term of imprisonment has been imposed for an assault on a match official. A new low.

Leinster stated if demand was there they would open the whole stadium. Obviously demand was not there.

Record number of tickets to be sold for Munster hurling championship according to John Fogarty in Examiner.

There’s been 4 years of the split season. This is the first time Waterford aren’t playing in their 10k stadium so the numbers were always going to be up.

We had no home game the first year either.
