OK Nathan there is plenty of hype around this pairing but....
Attendance 44, 411. Here in Ireland, we had 81,553 atending a frenetically 
exciting Dublin vs Kerry All Ireland gaelic football semi-final match at 
Croke Park. I'd expect that it was probably the largest stadium sporting 
event in Europe at the weekend. Must check...
