Disappointed to hear some negative statements and lack of enthusiasm in some areas of north Westmeath about tomorrow game, people not interested in heading up and saying they will be well bet, Westmeath really dosent help itself with hurling / football divide. Ticket sales a bit sluggish still, expected to be around 40,000 but still hadnt broke 35,000yet. Drop off in dublin support is crazy I'd imagine Westmeath will being 20,000 ish

20k is nearly as big a crowd as you'll ever get from Westmeath to be honest

Yeah I'd b shocked if it actually is 20,000 that's 25% of population. I'd say about 15,000 will be closer which is a crazy figure considering population is around 96,000 your close to 20% . Meath brought around 35000 to last years final but out of 225,000 people . It will be very interesting how many dubs show up I'd be shocked if it's more than 10,000
