LOI vs GAA intercounty as a spectator experience

EmmetSpiceland

Safe to say LoI attendances are “guaranteed” for another season, at least. May even grow a bit more, all things considered.

It really depends on how invested you are. Do you feel part of the team you are watching, do you perceive that your support will make a difference etc.

And are you the sort of “fan” who leaves the ground at halftime because your team are losing?

Yeah this is it.

As a Mayo fan the last decade for me has been incredible. And so many won't get it as they haven't won the final prize, but the journeys have been incredible due to the high stakes, and due to the chaotic game that Mayo brought in their purple patches, often arriving in injury time and a few points down! It's been a rollercoaster. Most fans will get that, especially Dubs who remember a time prior to the past decade.

But that's skin in the game. And a preference for the sport. I'll never be as worked up and excited for any other sport than I was in the 2017 final. Never.

Italia 90 is just too long ago to compare for me.

Seems to be something wrong with your computer or phone, it's making the same posts again and again.

Not sure, bud. Could be a glitch in the new “platform”. I didn’t get a notification for this post either.

I’m sure the gang will have the kinks ironed out completely over the next while. Just gotta bear with it.
