McGill says GAA happy as fans continue to roll up

The GAA are confident their 2012 championship attendances will at least match last year’s total.

Unofficial figures show attendances for the first four Ulster SFC games this year are up 33% on 2011.

Munster’s numbers for their football competition have also increased from 23,151 at this stage last year to 34,691. However, next month’s Cork-Clare Munster decider in Limerick isunlikely to draw as many spectators as last summer’s Kerry-Cork showdown in Killarney.
