Yeh suppose Electric Picnic would have taken a few off and its many families last weekend of the summer with all the kids basically back to school full time on Monday but still think we should have hit 3000

Be very intresting to see our attendances are for our 2 games against yourselves in Oriel. You take the biggest away crowds by far usually and whether we like to admit it (or any LOI fans likes to admit) Rovers are the big "draw" for getting floating fans/non regulars to games

I think we'll have a good crowd up on cup final day for the day that's in it - a lot of people come out of the woodwork for big away days and it's probably the only trophy we'll have a shot at this year. The league game might be a bit smaller than usual owing to the league being out of reach and people will already have paid for one trip up.

Was 368 official in Finn Park last night. Awfully disappointing, but expected given that 30,000 are travelling to Croke Park on Sunday. Success of Donegal GAA has really affected Harps attendance stats in the past few years.

For what it's worth about 160 at Ramblers v wexford. Season cannot end quick enough for me.

About 300 at Bray v UCD

I feel sorry for the genuine Rams fans.
I think the Soccer people of Cobh need to decide if they wan't League of Ireland football in the town at all.

Relegation to the Munster Senior League? MSL might not accept them in the Premier division i think.

What has got me is a few senior experienced players who would have made a massive difference to the club decide to throw their lot in and play MSL 2nd division. These same guys were well looked after by the club in the good times. What price a bit of loyalty?

Football can like that in general.
These day you only find loyalty in the dictionary.
I'm sure if there was money to be had

I hope Cobh continue in the League of Ireland.
I know its only the 1st Div but anything would be better that dealing with that shower the MFA.
Sure its a struggle but never give up.

250 at Wexford Youths v Finn Harps cup match.

**Martinho II** · 31/08/2014, 8:54 PM

Spot on, I guess 160 is probably to be expected given the season we are having, some clubs probably wouldn't even get that if there were in our situation.
No I hope the club don't give up but I know that if and when the good times come back the people who have deserted us will be back in droves as though nothing happened. That's the bit that gets me, loyalty is skin deep.

The fact your saying that is a good sign if you ask me, people will say the size of Galway Etc should be getting more than that for an important leage game but after everything that's gone on in recent years it's great to see a stable GFC back in the league, long may it continue.

Quoted as 800 in the town notes today, seemed about right. 200 from Longford
