Duffy sets 20,000 attendance target for double header

THE GAA’s Director General Páraic Duffy hopes over 20,000 will attend the Allianz NFL final double header at Croke Park on Sunday.

President Christy Cooney predicted a turnout closer to 30,000 earlier in the week but Duffy’s projection seems more realistic, given recent history of league decider days.

The identity of the four teams won’t have helped the efforts of the marketing department in Croke Park, either.
