this would have applied to us in 2010 after we went into examinership in 2008. its not a new rule

the question is if it applies to Derry

Now that the ref has been appointed should we rename the thread to the "Richie Winter Show"

**Nah Nah Nah Nah** · 01/11/2011, 9:43 PM

Agreed, they cheated and benefited from it. No way they should be allowed tiptoe around the rules that go with such a deed.

Not heard a thing to be honest.

**Rasputin** · 02/11/2011, 11:56 AM

We have sold 7000 as of yesterday, think shels are about the 3-4000 mark.

**fionnsci** · 02/11/2011, 12:38 PM

Would I be right in thinking that Sligo's sales are lower than last year's? It is to be expected and it's certainly already larger than two years ago. It'd be good if Sligo managed to bring 10k and Shels 5k. I'd say that'd probably see a swell to 20k overall.

I hope they just sell lower and premium seat tickets, it'll look really bad if they open the top tier. Doubt they will anyway.

Shels have sold just over 2k and Rovers about 8k. Be lucky to get 15k at the game at this stage. Still not a bad attendance when you compare it to recent years.

Heard we have sold 3-4k. There was a ridiculous bit in the Mail yesterday saying that Sligo would bring 15k and Shels 10k with an additional 5k from neutrals. Cant see it myself. If they only have the Premium and Lower Tier it should be a great atmosphere.

If Sligo bring 15 and us 10 thousand, I would be absolutely mortified for both clubs. Over 20 thousand bandwagoners who will not grace our grounds next season. Depressing.
