Why should any other county not get Hill tickets.

You make no point, but thanks for your input. You really do like the dubs!!!! I'm sure as I said in my very first post you have an intimate knowledge of every Dublin supporter and his thoughts on any particular day. That and the fact you take what you want from a post, No matter what it says. Going quiet is not supporting your team now? Ok , if you say so. Well i could say your team certainly felt no support in March playing us and when Mayo saw you off. But that is just becoming more like you. As that is type of person most decent fans hate , I won't go there.

I'm not in favour of a large amount of GAA delegates and officials all around the Country getting All Ireland tickets, while the fans of competing Counties have to scrounge to get them. Surely there are other ways to compensate such people, and the ticket allocation for the Minor's is particularly poor. GaryMc82 (Derry) - Posts: 3017 - 15/09/2017 20:44:46 2046329 Link 0 |

I remember being at a Cork v Mayo and Dublin v Donegal double header q final in 2002. Didn't sell out, no bother get tickets then. Being a Dubs fan, or Mayo or Donegal was not so fashionable then. Successful teams get plenty Badwagoners. I see plenty people from my own county who claim to be big GAA fans who never kicked an O Neills in their lives. tirawleybaron (Mayo) - Posts: 1091 - 16/09/2017 20:24:36 2046516 Link 0 |
Good point. While ye have good support relatively speaking I am convinced that much of your fanbase love this particular team more so than previous Mayo teams. Every county has bandwagoners. League is probably best indicator of true fans. Sure I remember at times our league support was nearly as big as our championsip support in the pre '98 days. in other words we have a decent core but really need to have a good team to attract the marginal fan.

While I'll agree with your assessment on the bandwagoners jumping on board the last few years. The games you mention in 2002 would have been played the August bank holiday weekend. Traditionally a massive weekend for families travelling and going on holiday. Both it and the June bank holiday have always had negative affects on attendances in croker. Although I do love a bank holiday Sunday game or a Saturday evening game.
