Donegal Mayo 11,250 Wexford Galway 7,500 Thought there would be more at the hurling, Wexford fans usually come out in numbers. All Ireland Champions and the team that beat them in the Leinster final in their backyard for a league quarter final. I thought they'd double that crowd. dahayeser (Cork) - Posts: 336 - 26/03/2018 09:41:56 2088126 Link
6500 at Cavan v Tipp yesterday. Looked like about 200 Tipp fans max. They didn't announce the attendance for Roscommon v Cavan last week but looked to be 4-5k. Decent considering it was absolutely baltic. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5009 - 26/03/2018 11:50:25 2088212 Link

Thought it was a decent crowd myself and seemed bigger than 7,500. Both stands were practically full, both terraces empty though. When the stands are full it can give a misleading impression that the attendance is bigger than it is. PoolSturgeon (Galway) - Posts: 1902 - 26/03/2018 13:36:42 2088269 Link

I don't know about other grounds but I know for a fact that the number of kids in Wexford park for league games is not counted in attendance figures, maybe this is the same for all other league games in other counties too? 890202 (Wexford) - Posts: 1278 - 26/03/2018 20:36:44 2088472 Link
Great attendance in Ballybofey yesterday of just under 12,000 and a big Mayo support there too. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11227 - 26/03/2018 20:48:42 2088483 Link

Could lead to issues if any incidents do arise if its not known how many are/were in ground watching a game. Even if in for free kids should have to get a ticket(free) ormondbannerman (Clare) - Posts: 13473 - 26/03/2018 22:34:59 2088523 Link

I would say around 4500 at Carlow v Laois game Probably 3 to 1 in favour of Carlow followers Blackbog (Carlow) - Posts: 704 - 27/03/2018 11:31:39 2088637 Link

Nearly 17,000 in Wexford Park. How many in Croker today? keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 01/04/2018 18:46:34 2090072 Link
36,500, must be the lowest for a final with Dublin in it yet. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8584 - 01/04/2018 19:22:13 2090085 Link
Replying To realdub: "36,500, must be the lowest for a final with Dublin in it yet." The Leinster game would have impacted on attendance. keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 02/04/2018 00:41:33 2090225 Link
Replying To keeper7: "The Leinster game would have impacted on attendance." Easter weekend the main issue I'd imagine. A lot of people away for the wknd. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13704 - 02/04/2018 13:46:13 2090298 Link
Replying To keeper7: "The Leinster game would have impacted on attendance." Maybe a big international but I don't think a Leinster game would have too much impact, probably the BH weekend like MesAmis said and a poor enough following from Galway realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8584 - 02/04/2018 16:00:10 2090350 Link
Replying To realdub: "36,500, must be the lowest for a final with Dublin in it yet." Surprised by that attendance seemed it was far less, i think Easter Sunday made a huge difference, its a very big day for families and i know plenty of lads who would have made it any other week being on a short leash yesterday.

Replying To realdub: "36,500, must be the lowest for a final with Dublin in it yet." The cork and Tyrone finals in the last 5 years had smaller attendances. A Another (None) - Posts: 192 - 02/04/2018 20:13:49 2090426 Link
