Replying To cityman73: "Would fully agree with that,we have a core support of 12k,we have huge bandwagon supporters too,we had it with limerick football too,there was only 17,000 at 2018 quarter final against Kilkenny." I just would not agree with you about a bandwagon crowd following our Footballers. I was in Cork in 2009- I think It was 2009- for a Munster Final. We had ran Cork very close in Limerick the previous year and the following year Cork beat us in the Qualifiers, by a single point, and went on to win the All Ireland. However we were only beaten by two points in that final and yet the total attendance was only 9,000 and the support from Limerick was pitiful.

And let's not forget the 1500 souls who attended Limerick v Cork in 2010 in the hurling ..... johnocarroll17 (Limerick) - Posts: 408 - 22/04/2022 22:02:41 2412400 Link
A statistical look at the first half of Cork v Limerick last weekend: https://limerickhurling.blogspot.com/2022/04/cork-v-limerick-stats.html slayer (Limerick) - Posts: 6480 - 23/04/2022 07:01:29 2412401 Link
Replying To bloodyban: "The fact that Galway don't really bring a big support is a factor and the time of the match. 1630 is such an odd time but then Wexford Park has no lights I think 10200 was still a poor crowd. The Waterford v Tipp game was full I think or close to it. The fact is Munster Championship gets way more people and its not down to bandwagoners. Limerick was one of the best supported teams in Ireland prior to 2018. The Cork v Limerick match was the only game that seemed like real Championship over the weekend. They had 35,000 in Cork for a Limerick game in 2018 of a Saturday night. I'd hope to see 17 or 18,000 at the Wexford v Dublin game.. there ought be no excuses for another poor crowd. Waterford is 2 and half hours from Limerick but I'd expect 25 to 30,000 on Saturday night. Clare v Tipp is a tricky one. Clare have a core of about 8,000 supporters according to Fitzy and Loughnane. Tipp will bring about 12 to 15,000 so I'd say 20,000 at that." You'll be disappointed so, there won't be anywhere near 18,000 in wexford park tonight unfortunately. Pretty much the same as the Galway game I would reckon unless Dublin travel well. ChinCanHurl (Wexford) - Posts: 292 - 23/04/2022 10:32:03 2412426 Link
Should be a cracker tonight Limerick V Waterford. This business of Championship in April, well is it working out. I think GAA should go back to Summer next year. The top boys have lost touch a bit during Covid 19 crisis. Having All Ireland finals in July well I hope it works out. But next year switch back to august. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2565 - 23/04/2022 10:57:46 2412435 Link
I think Limerick with home advantage will win tonight. But Waterford really need to put in a good performance. It is not the end if Waterford lose tonight. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2565 - 23/04/2022 10:59:52 2412436 Link

It's definitely better for the club championships to have them played off starting late July though. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 13746 - 23/04/2022 12:12:42 2412459 Link
Replying To Viking66: "It's definitely better for the club championships to have them played off starting late July though." Exactly viking and only way to improve the skill set of our club players is having them hurling in summer. Tiger1 (Wexford) - Posts: 280 - 23/04/2022 12:45:13 2412467 Link
Replying To galwayford: "I think Limerick with home advantage will win tonight. But Waterford really need to put in a good performance. It is not the end if Waterford lose tonight." Not so sure about Waterford losing not being a big deal. We still have a number of frontline players to come back so this is their best chance Shocs07 (Limerick) - Posts: 374 - 23/04/2022 16:00:08 2412509 Link
Replying To Shocs07: "Not so sure about Waterford losing not being a big deal. We still have a number of frontline players to come back so this is their best chance" Limerick are a brilliant team. The only doubt I have about them is that they seem reliant on the same 15 and don't seem to be bringing new players through. A team needs to refresh with one or two new players every year. Cody did that with Kilkenny. Limerick have a few players out injured and can't afford to lose more of their frontline players to injury because the replacements are not there. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2300 - 23/04/2022 17:41:49 2412530 Link

FFS Wexford!! Looks like that defeat to dublin has busted the year! Can only see Wexford finish 4th in Leinster now. katser (Galway) - Posts: 2471 - 23/04/2022 18:40:42 2412549 Link

Replying To katser: "FFS Wexford!! Looks like that defeat to dublin has busted the year! Can only see Wexford finish 4th in Leinster now." We don't deserve any more than that, two atrocious displays. ChinCanHurl (Wexford) - Posts: 292 - 23/04/2022 18:48:53 2412553 Link

Super game in Limerick tonight, so enjoyable. Thank God for the munster championship, the gift that keeps on giving. Bon (Kildare) - Posts: 2081 - 23/04/2022 20:48:24 2412599 Link
Replying To CTGAA10: "If Waterford don't beat limerick today,they'll never do it.." When Limerick have Peter Casey, Flanagan, Kyle Hayes and a Cian Lynch available nobody will touch them. They are a serious serious team. Past hurler (None) - Posts: 797 - 23/04/2022 20:49:28 2412600 Link
Replying To CTGAA10: "If Waterford don't beat limerick today,they'll never do it.." Ya Waterford now probably 2nd best team around. Great display from them. Injuries are a growing concern Shocs07 (Limerick) - Posts: 374 - 23/04/2022 21:08:11 2412610 Link
