That's some pretty impressive pun work!

Tonight was the first time I ever went to Richmond Park (I would've been in Turners Cross, but I got stranded in Dublin) and I have to say I was not impressed. St Pats were rubbish. Booed off at half & full time. And Richmond Park isn't a patch on Turners Cross. It said it all when Peter Hutton had to walk through the main stand, full of St Pats fans, to get the ambulance to the hospital.

Still, a possible title rival got a severe blow

How did Derry play last night

We were brilliant Flexy, best performance of the season from us. In fact don't just take it from me, here's what Kenna said:

"Home manager Jeff Kenna, however, was completely at a loss when asked to explain why his side underperformed so badly, a display he decried as “abysmal”.

“It was hard to stomach; it was more than a fair reflection on the game. First half they were absolutely excellent. In fact they could have scored more than three. We were abysmal. We didn’t get any better really in the second half. They went down to ten men and still passed us off the park.”

“They (Pat's players) had the information that they needed, they looked like there was no desire, we didn’t work hard enough. We were outfought. We didn’t pick up any second balls. We didn’t pass it to each other. We were awful. We looked like a team that hadn’t played together at all.”

When asked were his side still in the title hunt Kenna was brutally honest, answering: “After that, absolutely not. Not a chance, no. On tonight’s performance I think we’ll be lucky if we stay up.”

Then adding, when asked if it was a bigger job than he first thought: “Yes. The pressure is on. You have to be winning every week. You’re expected to be challenging for everything. Unfortunately, at the moment, we’re very hit and miss and that’s the problem.”

When quizzed on what he thought St Pat’s fans would make of this season’s home form Kenna was again typically forthright: “Obviously I’m devastated that we concede six in two games at home. A message to the fans would be ‘stick with us’, It’s gonna be a long, difficult season but I certainly won’t stop working, the players won’t stop working and hopefully it won’t be too long before we get it right.” "

Yeah. Probably doubled the crowd but still a ridiculous decision.

Would Cork really have got only 1000 or so for the game, that seems unlikely to me?

This seems to indicate that pricing does not have a large impact on LOI attendances.
