Yeah it might be hard to find the type of place of libation that Dundalk offers our Shamrock Rover's friendly visitors. If it had been a trip to Greece you could have probably bought your own little bar for €20 by Wednesday morning.I wish - I can barely afford a trip out of Dublin right now. Luxembourg's loss I'm sure you'll agree

To think that some Rovers fans used to travel to away games by helicopter.I wish - I can barely afford a trip out of Dublin right now. Luxembourg's loss I'm sure you'll agree
We've had to downgrade our travel plans ever since mypost started taking his spaceship to Anfield.
Anfield Direct? (never gets old)
About 300 max at Ramblers v UCD including two Luxembourgers (is that right?) to see a game where a UCD player gets a straight red for going in studs up on Ramblers assistant manager!
God I love this league.

Good idea from us there.
Ten minutes with a full team - 1-0 up, so we'd have won 9-0 or so ordinarily. Good for confidence
Then get a guy sent off - our game plan is completely changed and the scouts learn bugger all about our regular game plan. Get 80 good minutes at defending practice. All in the baking temperatures of the sunny South East.
And it would have worked too if it hadn't been for that pesky penalty at the end
I couldn't see us getting anything but the sending off definitely changed things, that said 4-2 to U.C.D would have been a fair reflection of the play in the first half.
Kevin Mulcahy made a brilliant goal saving tackle on one of your strikers near the end.
Happy with the point in the end we might even have stolen it very late on.

345 at Waterford v Athlone.
Didnt a Dundalk Board member arrive at Oriel Park many years ago in a helicopter that landed on the pitch prematch? I think our very enthusiastic PA announcer did cartoon sketches for the programme then and the following game had cartoon drawing with the caption 'Mr X gets his chopper out for the fans'. Funny if true but could be a bit of an urban myth though it has Micky Duffy all over it. At least in a few weeks the Champions League jingle will not get any groans as it did when the players ran out last season in the Europa League games!

Wow that's a massive drop from Cabo
Cabinteely v Wexford: Estimate from club 350. Waiting on official. Extratime were well out with that one according to the club.

Harps v Cabinteely - 679
Bit of a drop in attendance after three losses in a row, but hopefully a win in Waterford would see a good crowd for Cobh at home in two weeks time.

1,698 in The Showgrounds last night
Attendance at Wexford v Waterford was 576.
Considering the weather, I still think it was a decent crowd and shows that when any Harps team shows some potential, the support is there.
Even though it is somewhat of a South East local derby of sorts and Waterford are not up to much at present, so their attraction has fallen. It is still a good attendance, considering how far out of town Ferrycarrig Park is for your average interested fan, most grounds are within a walk for alot of people.
Sligo are now done to their hardcore average fans, which is around 1,500 and for most clubs such as St. Pats, Bohs etc., in Dublin they would love to be in a similar situation. So, again this attendance is what Sligo should expect in their position and will only increase as the team improves, don't forget the fans in Sligo can see the players performance and will demand value for their money.
