I can recall a famous day in 1994, when the capacity of Croke Park was approximately 65,000, on which there were approximately 40,000 Leitrim supporters and only approximately 25,000 Dublin supporters in attendance. I believe Aer Lingus's profits also rose that year, as there are only 25,000 people in County Leitrim. Moreover, there was no need for Sky then, because everyone was present, no one had been left in County Leitrim and the door had been shut.
