Aw but did you ever see the size of the spiders in the women's toilets?!?!

Scary!

it could be anything from 50 people to 200 max. most games were in & around 100-ish & maybe a few more depending on how many away fans travelled to Buckley.

The only time i seen both stands packed was for an Ireland under 21 game!

Yeah a town the size of Kilkenny really should have a presence in the league. Hopefully they will be back someday.

Abit off topic but who was the foreign striker that Kilkenny had who scored a few goals the last time they where in the Premier Divison, I think it was the 99 maybe 2000 season?!

Carlos Rocha from Portugal, one of the decent ones out of the rag tag bunch of foreigners signed by Joe McGrath.

He was given leave to go home at one point in the season, and it turned out he was having a trial with a French club. Don't know what became of him after that.

He scored a good few for ye didnt he!

I was at that game too, off pitch it was most memorable for the anti Henry Shefflin chants and the club 'shop' running out of bread, then anything heated.... cold cold cold night!

That and parking on a nearly totally grass-permeated bit of the gravel car park; doubt they'd seen that many cars/buses in some time.

I think we filled that for our nil all draw with them down there!Buses couldnt turn in the car park and the stand was full!as well as plenty standing around the perimeter of the pitch! What a nil nil that was, pitch was like my back garden, very long grass!
