Cork Footballers

[peopleluas]

Success begets success.

Thats every sport. Every single one.


People turning their nose up at the footballers because the senior hurlers managed to win back to back games for the first time in 2 years would want to have a word with themselves.

Let's be positive. The hurlers beat the AI champions. Fair dues to them. People are entitled to support whoever they want. Let's talk here about how great it is (and it really is) to support the Cork Football team, and more people will want to be part of that.

There was only 5,000 Cork supporters at the Waterford match.

In a ground that holds only 10k with the vast majority of tickets only available through clubs. If the footballers get 5k down in PUiR next week it’d be a decent crowd for them. Not aiming this at you but lads posting about a Cork hurling team losing meaning the footballers should get more support is sad stuff.

I think I agree with you, as in I think we are all saying the same thing.
My point was that there was 5k at the Waterford game. Walsh Park wasn’t sold out that day. One great performance against the All Ireland champs and it has all changed. That’s possible for our footballers too, but not to same degree. Supporting the Cork hurlers is embedded in our culture from the youths up. It’s a wonderful Cork tradition. The vast majority of the hurling support lives within 20-30 mins of PUC. The football support is 45-90mins away.

I think a lot were like me. Go to Killarney every two years and turned off it by hammerings. After 2019 I swore I’d never again go to a Cork football match. Now it was said in anger and I have been to a few since but not half as many as I’d gone to in the 5 years before that. If we get back to division 1 league then people will come back. Although the days of 40k at Cork v Kerry are never coming back.

Walsh park was sold out.
What happened was a fuck ton of Waterford season ticket holders didn't bother going in the end.
There were no tickets available=sold out.

No not at all, it was lazy bandwaggoner cork supporters who didn’t bother to get the sold out tickets…..same thing happened vs tipp but to a lesser degree.
Cork Hurling support considering they have won fuck all for almost 20 years is outstanding

How do you get sold out tickets if they never go back on resale?
