You are unreal, Of the 1.2 m people living in Dublin do all of them follow Dublin GAA? No I don't think so. There are a lot of country folk and foreigners who have no interest in what Dublin do. The majoprity of peole down the country are from that county so you are talking out your arse on that one.
Obviously not everyone living in Dublin follows GAA. But having over a million people is a pretty big catchment area, wouldn't you agree? Even if only 1 out of every 20 people followed it, you'ld still have enough to fill Croke Park. And I think it's pretty safe to say the ratio is far more than 1:20. So its easy for you to fill Croker, especially as it's on your doorstep
As for your ridiculous comment about people down the country being from that county, I suggest you rethink that one before you go accusing me of talking out of my arse. That has got to be one of the most retarded things I've read in this thread. Of that at least, you can be proud. Seeing as you fancy yourself as an authority on demographics, care to take a stab at how many polish people live in Cork? Or Brazilians in Galway? Or the black community in Ennis Co. Clare?
Ticket prices are still the same price if you are from Dublin or Cork so you are only talking about travel costs whihc fair enough ican be expensive. Dublin don't moan about costs when they have to travel tho, they actually look forward to it.
Firstly, I'm not moaning about travel costs. I enjoy the day out. But the thing is, by the time I get home on Sunday evening, I'll have spent over 200 euro on travelling costs alone this summer following Cork. That is solely on travelling. It doesn't include match tickets. You see its easy for you and didi to claim you and the rest of Dublin look forward to travelling and that you never moan about the costs, but your need for travelling is rare. I bet my travel costs this summer alone is more than yours and didis combined in the last 5 years. "Fair enough it can be expensive" ? Can be? There is no fucking "can be" about it. It is expensive and is always expensive
Maybe have a look at the attendance between Cork and Limerick before talking to me aboput loyalty
See, now you've gone and made yourself look an even bigger tit and opened a can of worms for yourself.
Seeing as you are so quick to mention the attendance at the Cork and Limerick game, could you please enlighten my not so knowledgeable self and tell me how many of you and your Croker filling compatriots turned up to watch your hurlers in the Leinster semi final? You really ought to think before you type. 2 can play this game fuck chops
Billy Cork are shite travellers, and you cant even fill Pairc Ui Chaoimaoih ffs....Kerry are worse supporters. Dublin lost to Westmeath 6 year ago in the championship and still filled Croker after that....you dont even know the capacity of Parnell Park so dont go there....your backed up by the majority on these thread cause like it or not its 31 v 1 when it comes to the Dubs
didi up until this year, Pairc Ui Chaoimh has been full every time our Hurlers have played a Championship game there. To be fair, our Hurlers are probably the best supported hurling team in the country. I honestly do not recall the last time we were out numbered at a championship match. There was 45,000 at the hurling semi, and I can guarantee you that at least 30,000 were from Cork, even though we knew in all likelyhood we were in for a hiding off Kilkenny. Thats a pretty good number considering.
But as a said earlier, its easy to go labelling Cork and Kerry supporters as shite travellers, especially when they play more games outside of their county every summer than Dublin have done in the last decade. I don't deny that Dublin have brought decent attendences around the country over the years. But your need for travel is rare.
Just out of curiousity, could you tell me how many championship games you have attended outside of Dublin in the last 10 years? Because I bet whatever the number is, myself or KERRYKOP have probably travelled to more away games this summer alone. Its easy to bring a big attendence the odd time you have to play outside of Dublin. But try doing it all summer every summer, you'ld quickly change your tune
