thats right, It's actually hard to say what it is ! because we brought in a temp. seated stand for the match. The ground was jammers ! I reckon there was around 5,000 people there

Had 6,000 in the Irish Times - very positive match report (apart from the expected hammering, obviously!)

Wonder where they'll all be when we come visiting though...?

Presume there was the usual big cheer when Everton scored?

Oh how right you are ! They came from all over the place to see it - Belfast, Dublin, Cork, Galway, Scotland, Wales and even the Isle if Man !

The cheer wasnt as big as i expected from such a large crowd.
Bray actually had good support (shock !)

From the size of the town and the areas we have around the place we should have no problems getting that type of crowd each week ! All of Wicklow and a good portion of South Dublin as well - were there nearest senior football club ! jesus thinking of it like that we should be gettin 15,000 heads a week !

If ye capable of getting bigger friendly crowd in March as opposed to the summer just goes to show the potential of the non-winter football?

I was only saying something like that to one of the lads. Right, were certianly not the biggist club in the leagu but not the smallest by no means. Were heading in thye right direction and there's a lot of good things happening in the club.

We have the whole of Wicklow and most of South Dublin to draw support from. "Nearly" every young / old male and quite a lot of females like football and would support a team (most likley in england/scotland), if they would only realise that the standard of football is getting better and better all the time in ireland and the facilities are on the up as well. Even if a small percentage of these people came to our home games we could have the b*lls of 10/15000 people in the Carlisle every second week ! well, if we could fit that much in that is ! lol
