How big a factor do you think they are in the outcome of matches? My opinion? Huge. Mayo players fed of the fans on saturday, and they in turn gave the fans back the scores which fed the momentum. Makes me wonder what difference even 24,000 may have made to the outcome of last years All Ireland Final. Gavvygavgav (Dublin) - Posts: 382 - 16/08/2021 13:21:31 2371960 Link

Yes fans have a big input on players performances. It works the other way too. I hate to hear fans booing opponents taking frees etc. I'm convinced the encouragement of fans can top the balance in a tight game and none than the likes of Mayo and Dublin fans CiarraiMick (Dublin) - Posts: 3675 - 16/08/2021 14:39:35 2371997 Link
Big difference, even at club level you notice them for me. I loved the roar of the crowd in the recent club matches. Couldn't beat it. StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1732 - 17/08/2021 11:48:47 2372308 Link
