There was serious value in Pairc Uí Caoimh on Saturday evening with the Cork ladies playing, the hurlers and then the footballers all for the price of €20. The Cork supporters like to label themselves as ‘the greatest supporters in the world’

But last night they were the furthest thing from that, when the Cork vs Kilkenny match finished up, more then half the stadium emptied out and didn’t decide to stay on and watch the Cork footballers vs Roscommon. Shocking to say the least!
Very disappointing to see so many @OfficialCorkGAA supporters leaving in their droves after the hurling game against Kilkenny & they wouldn’t stay & support @OfficialCorkGAA footballers who have the same commitment to the Red jersey pic.twitter.com/EAjy1FFCnk

Did you watch them Brendan? Hurlers there and there abouts for all Ireland contention every year. Absolutely no motivation to go and watch that Cork football team.
The reality is double headers at county level are dead. The space between matches makes it impossible with children. It’s always tough on one code.
Paying coaches from outside the county thousands of € while playing the same old faces who have failed in the past and playing players from junior clubs while players from seniors clubs sit on the bench I would feel is definitely a factor…
maybe people have lives mate.They have already gone to see a hurling match which probably took 3 or 4 hours out of their day. They dont owe anyone anything. Plus,Gaelic football is painfully poor to watch.
Maybe ye could say the same for the Cork ladies game where they had very little support and they were not allowed to park their cars near the stadium because the car spaces were reserved for the men. Also they could have no showers because they had only a half hour to vacate the dressing room. Equality my ass
How many Dublin supporters were in Croke Park on time to watch the hurlers both days prior to the Dublin footballers v Derry and Mayo ???
