Combination of entitled fans and big-stadium fatigue sees Leinster’s appeal fall sharply (opens original article in a new tab)

Leinster's URC title defense at Croke Park is experiencing a sharp decline in fan interest and attendance, attributed to stadium fatigue, entitled fans, and a series of less appealing home games this season.

• Leinster's URC title defense at Croke Park faces lower attendance compared to previous years.
• Ticket sales for the match are between 25,000 and 30,000, below the 46,127 attendance from last year's final.
• Leinster has hosted 22 home knockout ties in four seasons, leading to stadium fatigue and declining interest.
