There’ll be more than 7k from Offaly.

We sold out Carlow last year on our own with a capacity of 11k, Portlaoise is a lot closer.

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

Stand was around 60% full looking over from the terrace, certainly last 2 sections to the left were fairly empty and there were a lot of empty seats (stand holds 7k), terrace seemed well filled so should be the same around 10k to fill it so 4000 on one side and 5000 on the other would give in aroun...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

No, it was just under 5,000 paid in. It's harder to tell with U-16s so there was an element of guesswork about the 8,000 number, I understand. Do you mean there was only 8000 in total at the KK game last week - 5000 adults and 3000 u16’s????? I’d say in the region of 12-14000 all in last week. Both...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

Sacking him is probably not the answer either there's no guarantee that the next man to take charge will be any better At the end of the day declan kelly isn't the one kicking the ball he picks his team and its the team most would say is the strongest I don't know where we are getting this devine r...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

i feel we have been getting rid of managers too fast over the last 20 years since paul o kelly really. are we too expectant of mangers? you cant be blaming managers for player non performance. our u20s dont seem to be progressing as we had hoped for .a lot due to injury and many due to physicality....

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

Think all ireland champions will come from munster again. Seem to be physically bigger and well able to hurl Tipp will be favourites to beat Cork, they weren’t overly big in the 2022 minor final so in a way I’m hoping it’s them and not Cork. Either way, if we do our job next Wednesday then we’re ei...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

There is absolutely no team selection dilemma for Johnny Kelly. There shouldn’t be but I’d imagine Kelly will want to play them as his job is gone if they lose. Which if comes to pass shows Johnny Kelly is more concerned about his own managerial career than the development of Offaly hurling. All U2...

Re: Offaly Under 20s hurling 2024

Unbelievable stuff. This team tends to come out like a tonic and take a lead into halftime, sleep walk for the first few minutes of the second half and allow their opponents back in and then wake up and go win the game but not before a nail biting finish. Has happened in the Dublin and Galway games ...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

I know that in my younger years I would have been baying for blood after a result like this, and there's still something deep down within me that's telling me that you can do all the nuanced analysis that you like, but you can't lose to London by 14 points and think that things are okay, clearly th...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

I think it’s time the MGT go whether there is not enough experience in the coaching set up but there is something seriously wrong . If this was any other manager the local press would be calling for his head .This is worse than when Stephen Wallace was there and he got the chop mid season . Time fo...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

A recovery session took place not a training session . Meeting up in a pool for recovery is not gonna help us. I’d be as pissed off as anyone about that london result. But realistically, regardless of the result, they were probably only ever going to get to train once this week with there being a g...

Re: Offaly Senior Footballers 2024

Imagine losing to a team by 14 points and trying to argue we were still the best team… I’d implore you all to stop engaging with this troll.
