Pro rata it would be like 1.2m attending an FA Cup quarter final
Despite the hype on here, poor crowd at the stick hurling semi-final.
Swathes of empty seats everywhere and most of the Hill closed.
Only the bare 68,000 at it.
68,100 and change in HQ. Huge crowd
68k there or 33 % more than a sold out Irish rugby home game
Almost 70k on a bank holiday weekend is pretty sensational.
Stick fighting is box office.
Will they manage to sell out the final this year?
They never do
45 quid max ticket price.
Cheaper AND more enjoyable. God bless the GGA.
Massive increase in attendance for same pairing last year. GAA is thriving. Close on 150,000 people in Croke Park over the weekend. Phenomenal.
Quarter final attendances up also … On the march .
More in one weekend than an entire season of home 6N games.
This is GAA country
in fairness GAA codes are national sports
ruggerby is only played in two places on the island
wouldnt be a fair comparison
Sensational considering their woeful league crowds
Gga people are the biggest bandwagoners
Stick hurling is a minority sport invented by the Brits played in a few areas around tipp
And you’re a cunt
And you are a dim wit who hates his family
You’re still a cunt
I can change being a cunt
You will always be a simpleton
