56,000 at the 4 hurling matches was decent. Tyrone v Derry was good too considering Derry were Div 4. Can anyone fill in the blanks? Jack_Goff (Meath) - Posts: 2920 - 13/05/2019 14:15:53 2183668 Link

Limerick vs Cork 31,200 Down vs Armagh 15,000+ Tipperary vs Waterford 22,000+ Decent crowds Jack_Goff (Meath) - Posts: 2920 - 19/05/2019 18:06:31 2185539 Link
Here are the official crowds I found - Limerick Cork 31,274 Tipp Waterford 22,833 Carlow Kilkeny 7,050 Dublin Wexford ?? Down Armagh 15,112 Cavan Monaghan 13,496 Sligo Galway 5,365 Thought Limerickv Cork would sell out to be honest 31k is small there was close to 35k at the fixture in Cork last year and so much has happened to since ... Cork - Munster champs, Limerick AI and League champs. 2 cracking championship draws last year, Cork probably should have seen out last years semi final. Serious rivalry. I'd imagine Cork's tame defeat to Tipp probably hit the travelling support. Though Limerick would nearly fill the Gaelic Grounds on their own though. First home championship game for the champs. tomhealycork (Cork) - Posts: 80 - 20/05/2019 11:11:54 2185824 Link
So there was about 106k at the matches over the weekend not bad. Jack_Goff (Meath) - Posts: 2920 - 20/05/2019 12:52:45 2185887 Link
Hurling Galway Wexford 12,624 You'd nearly expect 20k at this, Galway, champions 2 years ago, runners up last year, decades without home championship games until the last year. Only other home game this year was Carlow which wasn't the most attractive fixture. Wexford support seems to have dropped well off too. Pity given that this is a year they have a real shot a winning a leinster title. Mayo Roscommon 20,471 Dubs Louth / Meath Carlow 14,380 Fermanagh Donegal 10,447 Laois Westmeath / Kildare Longford 9,375 Antrim Tyrone 5,409 Thought Mayo and the Rossies would draw more of a crowd given Mayo pull in 10k for every league game. What a match though. Well done the Roscommon. tomhealycork (Cork) - Posts: 80 - 27/05/2019 10:57:39 2188027 Link

Dont blame the Wexford support for staying at home....it's a long journey and a 4pm throw in meant many of them would be lucky to get home by 11pm considering there would be no point getting on the road until about 7pm in order to let the traffic congestion clear a bit. And accommodation in Galway city on a Saturday night is neither cheap nor in plentiful supply between May and September. PoolSturgeon (Galway) - Posts: 1902 - 27/05/2019 11:21:10 2188044 Link
It is some drive to Galway from Wexford, look at a map. And getting to Galway is half the battle, getting to the ground is the other half. There was a good Wexford crowd there by the way. I said it on the Wexford board, Wexford and Galway should agree to play in Portlaoise every year. StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1732 - 27/05/2019 11:29:18 2188048 Link
Shocking attendance in portlaoise. But we all know why. Time for the GAA to invest massively in underage for all counties across leinster. They need to start addressing the imbalance they created. Attendances will then naturally rise. Jack_Goff (Meath) - Posts: 2920 - 27/05/2019 13:24:00 2188108 Link
16,700 at Armagh v Cavan. Jack_Goff (Meath) - Posts: 2920 - 02/06/2019 16:44:40 2189828 Link
Tipperary v Clare, attendance 18,316. fainleog (Limerick) - Posts: 598 - 02/06/2019 17:04:28 2189835 Link

There was more at a Connacht 1st round game between two of the least populated counties in the country , Roscommon and Leitrim , than the combined total of the two Munster semi-finals. Munster football looks like a basket case from all sorts of angles. facethepuckout (Roscommon) - Posts: 214 - 04/06/2019 21:43:45 2190672 Link

The second half of the Champions League was always kicking off at 9pm. If Ennis had floodlights, 8pm throw-in would have been fine as well.

26,500 at Cork v Waterford. That's a fantastic turnout. The Deise haven't won a championship match in 2 years and with nothing to play for a tiny crowd travelled. That makes corks turnout all the better. There were years when a knockout munster quarter or semi final would attract less then that. Limerick v Clare Limerick v Tipp Clare v Cork The last 3 fixtures should all have decent attendances. The munster hurling is in a good place.

Limerick vs Clare 30k Kilkenny v Galway 16k Dublin v Kildare & Meath v Laois 36k Cavan v Armagh 21k Donegal v Tyrone 13k I can see Tipp vs Limerick having 30k and Clare v Cork 18k. Some going from Munster. I know there are more matches but I wonder how the total leinster for hurling attendance will compare to football? Are we now a hurling province?
