    Watching the Offaly/Westmeath Game on Telly at the mo and the Crowd is Shocking,every Game i've Seen in the Football Championship at least has been the same...
    there'll be 50-60,000 at the Dublin/Louth Game tomorrow,i Reckon 3/4's of that Crowd will be Dubs.if they Progress the Semi will be a Sell Out..
    if it wasn't for the 3 or 4 Games the GAA get out of the Dubs every Year i Reckon Croker as it is would never have been Built.
    WUM!
    only Joking Lads,just trying to Drum up some Anti-Dublin Bile before the 1st Game in the Championship tomorrow;)
    UP THE DUBS!

    Myth i'm afraid, same crowd from KK at A.I as most games. Small enough county really, you can barely even see the black and amber in the crowd on A.I day against Cork. Wasn't exactly a big Waterford crowd in Limerick last weekend :rolleyes:

    least Dublin got off to a win. Louth put it up to, and stayed with them in the first half, but class and quality came to the fore in the second half. Dublin forwards were on fire. Jayo and Brogan were good, but Eamonn Fennell was amazing,. MOTM by far in my opinion.





    Ohhh and in response to the cfomment above about cork outnumbering the black and amber on AI day, it goes by club allocation, cork have more clubs...therefore more tickets!!!!

    Well ye do have the advantage that ye play practically all your games in Dublin and the main stadium is walking distance from the city centre.

    I was at the Leinster final last Year, Kilkenny v Wexford ..... I wouldnt call the volume of Kilkenny fans at that game 'doing more than your fair share' sure the whole top tier wasnt even open and it was a Leinster Final!

    i was at the game and Waterford had its fair share of supporters probably outnumbering Clare. it wasn't a full house because of where the game was played. it was taking people 4 hours to drive up from Waterford with all the traffic problems and Clare people had a handy spin down the road. The game should of been played in Thurles but the G.A.A didn't learn anything from the last Galway v's Waterford game a few years ago.:rolleyes:

    Not true.

    Cork are the ONLY county to have been in an all Ireland final every year since 2003 and until last year when our hurlers made way for our footballers, we were in four All-Ireland Finals in a row. Something Kilkenny haven't managed in recent times.

    I think he meant in croker every year, which would apply to lots of leinster counties. If you want to start picking at Hurling and football all irelands you shouldnt forget minor and u21 either.
