The 2024 All Ireland Senior Football Championship (Sam Maguire Cup)

I would say 4K or so. Not bad . Some counties don’t even get that at home games…….

It took me 90 minutes to get there. Again not bad but shite road all the way. A spin to Dublin is easier . Won’t have to worry about they this year id say.

The lady beside me was from Ballycroy. Took here nearly 2 and a half hours.
Short trip that alright 👍

He must've been taking it steady in the Yaris for that to take 2 1/2. It's an hour from all the population centres of the county. Half an hour from Ballagh if you want to go down that road

There was talk of 7k+ on the NY trip. All those boys hunkering down paying off the credit union loan for the next few years?

Mayo haven't brought a big crowd to a game since the 21 final. Last 3 championship trips to Croker had sweet FA, the Kildare game a particular lowlight. It's completely fine, every county has times of good support (i.e bandwagons) and times of crap. Donegal and Derry are good examples. Just as long as these self styled Mayo die-hards admit it was a bandwagon they were on in future

I see we're still living rent free in poor Avon's little head 😂😂

I agree wholeheartedly with this. There's a perception out there in the media and in the gaa that people should be packing out every match like it's peak 90s knockout football.

There's even more matches than ever before with less jeopardy i.e. nearly always another bigger day coming down the line for a lot of teams, at least 2 matches per monthly paycheque but if its a dual county you could be expected by the gaa to make it to at least 3 matches per month. That's way too much to expect of people. Not to mind the actual logistics of having other run of the mill family things on those days, or even not wanting to be gone all Sunday 3 times a month to go to matches. Games should all be in small grounds and priced much lower than they are.

basically its armchair season in the gaa , every sort of tomdick and harry turns up with an opinion , donal og cusack is there main representative on the sunday game too regardless of what code they follow 🙄 ……despite how pure the game of hurling is or how much of a fabric it holds on all of us😶😏

Even Roscommon can qualify still are losing 3 games to mayo. It's makes a joke of it.

Even Dublin can't get a crowd.

Mayo Vs Dublin in 2 weeks and then a preliminary QF and then possibly a QF, 3 games in 3 weeks.

5 games in 8 weeks. Thats a lot of money.

When in reality you could save the money on the first 2 games and then go to the Dublin game and the preliminary QF

Not mistaken identity but clearly a wrong call by the ref

'His head smashed into Fergal's shoulder' LOL! Poor Fergal! Is he OK??? Harvey (Not Carney 🙄) should probably gotten a yellow for hitting poor Fergal!!

Margin call, looked from the angle like a shoulder to the head of a player that was wide open,lookwd like poor Fergal was liking to put a hit in his opponent when he saw the opportunity ... Didn't quite connect as he intended and would normally be given as a yellow, but easy to see why a referee could interpret it as a red (force involved, frontal shoulder ie not shoulder to shoulder, ball was gone.)

Dumb challenge so late in the game, asked the question of the officials that didn't need to be asked really, and could cost him a game suspended and it's a bad time of the season to be missing games, might be hard to get back in.

The level of activity on this thread says otherwise

Plus the fact that you are in such a rush and hurry to find out information, and state that no one cares is a bit of an oxymoron in itself. As you obviously do care!

But you are like the recovering alcoholic who cannot face going to the pubs anymore. So says "There is no one in them". So you can pretend you are not missing anything. You want everyone else to be just as miserable as you are.

Cork city marathon on today so hotels be busy last night so make it expensive and the bank holiday to add some extra cost.

Even well ahead in second half cluxton not letting the defenders slack off but giving plenty of orders on marking up and watching runners

Snooze fest in navan. Kerry in control. What a bore fest of a football championship.

I agree 100 per cent with you, this format has backfired and people are showing it

Meath must have had 10 wides in that half, some of them criminal. Cricket score could be coming in the second half

Bunch of athletes running around a field. Boring, boring, boring.
