Crowds plummet amid concern Rules Series losing its lustre

JUST 14,000 spectators are expected to attend Friday’s International Rules second Test at the Gold Coast’s Metricon Stadium.

A day after GAA Director General Páraic Duffy warned a 10,000 crowd would put the series in “serious trouble”, officials at the 25,000-capacity venue anticipate it will be a little over half-full for the game.

Speaking yesterday, Anthony Tohill expressed his concern about the drop in interest in the hybrid game in Australia.
