Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

Fantastic atmosphere pre and post game in the town last Sunday. I don’t remember an occasion like it for a club game in Offaly since the mid to late 1990’s. The ground easily catered for the crowd. For me it’s now a no brainer what the CB should do with the county final going forward but I’d say the...

Re: U20 hurlers 23

More than likely K/K are going to win 6 Offaly U20 titles in a row. 2020-2025 inclusive.

2023 Senior A and Senior B champions with 6 in a row U20 winning teams coming to back them up.

Jesus!!

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

Yesterday’s attendance saw an increase of 20% on the 2022 attendance and a 240% increase on the 2021 attendance. Give or take an extra €24,000 for the CB on gate receipts from last year. Probably not a sufficient enough increase to bring it back to SBP on a more regular basis but a substantial jump ...

Re: Severe lack of Offaly O’Neills Gear on website

I see a new Offaly jersey is on the way according to the Offaly section of the O’Neills website. I’m surprised by this as in the recent past we have allowed our jersey to complete a 3 year cycle and then change. The current iteration has only done 2. Anyways hopefully it will be released (along with...

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

PJ I asked the question was it 4000 that's what I heard it was. Number of posters had the answer and it was significantly higher. Which is great. Certainly not trying to down play finals in tullamore it's a super venue with top class facilities if anything too good for county finals ( hence the atm...

[quote="private joker" post_id=68770 time=1696519775 user_id=9209 There was also reference to the lack of a pre match parade last year by one poster. Who is that down to? Surely its the county board that organise that? [/quote] That was me. Yes it was down to the CB last year and they didn...

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

Private joker at least the supporters wil have a bit of atmosphere rather than playing it in a funeral home If atmosphere is your number one concern then surely the game should be played somewhere like Lusmagh? :lol: You do know atmosphere adds to the occasion, enjoyment and perception of a game ye...

Re: Offaly Senior A Hurling Championship 2023

If I'm mistaken I accept that but I am convinced an attendance of just over 5,100 was announced.

Either figure will be beaten on Sunday week anyways and the 2021 figure will be obliterated.
