Shields: Fans will be back for Mayo clash
But on the subject of the paltry number of supporters who watched them win in Croke Park, he did have an opinion.
Their numbers couldn’t have been more contrasting to the droves who turned up in Fitzgerald Stadium last month but Shields wasn’t surprised. First thing, it’s something he’s got used to over the years. Second of all, he suspects they were keeping their money for this weekend’s All-Ireland quarter-final against Mayo.
