Replying To Tadhg2020:  "Cork hurling have always had big crowds. They are the best supported team in the championship. Limerick and Clare would be next. Tipp would be close then. Either way, that's not the point but you already know that. Wexford would be playing Joe McDonagh hurling next season if it wasn't for Kildares presence in the Championship. You have lost your supporters along the way. Thats the point. Ye need to concentrate on that and not the munster championship."
We are already concentrating on what we need to concentrate on, and its not whether supporters come or not.
We need to produce more better hurlers, so we might start winning more games. And thats what we are concentrating on, especially the last few years.
Supporters will come to support a winning team. Sadly thats human nature, and not just in sport. Apart from the wool and the 4 feet most humans are like another type of animal.......

Replying To Viking66:  "Tbh Tadhg we are a little odd. Similar to Limerick people in ways.
An example of this would be that the biggest crowd in the Park in the last good few years was for a Walsh Cup group game against Kilkenny in 2023, nearly 13000 turned up of a January night just to see what the new floodlights looked like."
Ye could do with getting them back any way you can.

Tadgh, this is gone a long way from what the thread is supposed to be about, and nobody said anything and definitely wasn't 'concentrating on' the Munster Championship until you started on about relative attendances.

To try get back to the point - various views on the notion of a two-group, eight-team Leinster Championship. Most would seem to be against it.
