Like who apart from the O'Hailpin brothers and Tadhg Kennelly? To my knowledge, there has never, ever been more than a very slight trickle of players. Setanta was the first really high-profile exile.Quote:

The GAA has tried to increase playing levels in other counties but sadly its just not working, hurling isn't as easy to coach as football. It comes down to bloodlines too, hurling is something that is just in the blood.Quote:

Apart from on All Ireland final days, on days when either Dublin/Tyrone or Armagh are playing, they almost do this now, by their agreement with the GAA to close the Upper Hogan and Upper Cusack for games that attract less than 48000 (I think that is the number, if not it is around that). This 'crowds' in the Lower Hogan and Lower Cusack, which for TV purposes makes the crowd look bigger than it is. The downside for live spectators is that many end up with God awful views from the ends of both stands when the best seats on the Upper decks are empty, a fact made worse by the GAA policy to charge one price for all Hogan/Cusack seats that are available to the public. So for 40 euro you could be on the half way line at the front or on the 13 metre line at the back of either stand.Quote:
