[MariborKev]

Tell me what you reckon.MNS is only on 5 years.Do you imagine everyone at clubs wakening up and saying WOW! we have missed the ball on this one? regarding advertising?
And yes i'm pushing this as a DundalkFC fanatic To me No other club excists on this planet

I'd say most clubs aren't even awake to. It was grand when clubs were getting €5k as that covered any drop. Now when it is gone clubs are just throwing their hands up and wailing about it.

[MiniMourinho]

Loads of kids in for the family night in Drogs last night. Was great to see! Loads down town today too at the 'D Day' event for the cup final next week. This is what the club is and should be about! Not that rubbish last week.

[oriel]

Any word on where you will be playing the Europa game MM?

Definitely think you'd be better served having it in our place, would suit perfectly plus I'd imagine a good few DLK lads would go also. The guys I go to games with all said they probably would go.

Plus I'd say more people would travel from Drogs too than go to Dublin.

Madness if they select it here. But their choice.

Your club proved that by taking the action they did.

Glad to hear the family day worked out well.

[Comic Book Guy]

I reckon about 450 at ramblers v harps tonight.

[MiniMourinho]

100% sure it will be in Tallaght.

[MeathDrog]

I'd prefer to have it in Dayler.

We'll get f*ck all of a crowd if it's in Tallaght.

[El-Pietro]

must be tough for ye with no one to play against.

Extratime estimated 300 in Athlone


Attendance 301

The reporter must've forgotten to count himself!

[Battery Rover]

The reporter must've forgotten to count himself!

:)

Just a very good reporter in Simon O'Gorman who was there for extratime.ie. He would estimate then email me looking for the official count later that night.

[White Horse]

I'd prefer to have it in Dayler.

We'll get f*ck all of a crowd if it's in Tallaght.

Drogs always want to go back to their mothership in Dublin.

I wish they'd stop claiming to be a Louth team.

Not sure what MNS has to do with it and not really sure why you seem to be deliberately misunderstanding reasonable points made about maximising advertising sponsorship for live matches. Might have something to do with this?

".....Copy & paste job tonight for the fixtures,swilling pints and smoking joints in Bray at the moment"

[Comic Book Guy]

Actually scratch my estimate of 450, the official attendance from the clubs Twitter account was 568. I know I erred on the conservative side in my guess but not by that much, still great to see.

[MeathDrog]

It's in Meath sur.

What about Dundalk then, a provo retirement home.

[oriel]

I don't even know if Dundalk have offered to host this game to be honest, but it appears its not even a consideration by Drogs. Here we have a club struggling to attract more than 700 to home games in their own town, and they think they can attract more at a european game by moving it either 50 or 60k away rather than 30k and in the same county.

Asking for trouble, but as I said before, their choice. Good luck with this.

That would be a first on this forum!

[MiniMourinho]

Take finances out of it because most football fans don't care about the financial side of things. Would Liverpool ever choose to play a home game in Old Trafford if they were in such a situation? The answer is no! There would be general revolt if we held a home game in Dundalk. Sad, but true. And probably true for most other clubs/supporters.

[jinxy lilywhite]

Dundalk played a European game in united park in 95. there wasn't much uproar at the time iirc. tbh I couldn't care if the drogs played in OP or not. I would be surprised though if they didn't consider it as an option. We can easily accommodate 700 drogs fans in op as good as dalymount or Tallaght

[MiniMourinho]

Drogs in OP will never happen. Tallaght isn't ideal, but to be in the home of Dundalk would kill the magic!

[White Horse]

That is some chip being carried.

Playing a "home" game in United Park would appeal to a Dundalk fan more than playing in Dublin. At least it is in Louth.

[Ezeikial]

They do if a club is going bust/can't pay wages/releasing players/lowering budget etc etc


There would be general revolt if we held a home game in Dundalk. Sad, but true.

Is there sufficient left for a decent revolt?

[Charlie Darwin]

Fairly ridiculous if Drogs would rather play in Tallaght than Dundalk unless they have solid evidence that more people would come. Can't imagine Tallaght would be much cheaper.

LOL hahahahahahaha!!
I pinned junk in the toilets in BrayW FC just soon after i posted that up. Be well ourfella ;) be well LOL

This might surprise you, Bull--it

If its not at home who cares if its Dublin or Louth or Timbuktu? a difference of 15-20 miles to Tallaght over oriel doesnt matter. Fans do care if the club is going bust, but 12 months later most don't give a damn again! That's a fact.

Yep, you got it in one , those THC levels must be easing off?
There is a long history in Dalymount of putting our oars in and rowing in different directions .

[adamd164]

Await an official figure but supposedly a very poor crowd in Turners Cross for today's game v Limerick.

Should have been one of our biggest of the season.

1851, awful.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

4,256 in The Showgrounds

[patrickccfc]

great crowd at the showgrounds

[White Horse]

Well done Sligo and Derry, great attendance.

[Jofspring]

1851, awful.

We brought a decent enough crowd too. The bones of 200 anyway.

[jinxy lilywhite]

1851, awful.

strange KO time

[Dunny]

Any word of the attendance in Sdcc stadium?

[DaveyPats]

Looked a poor home crowd in Drogheda.

[Charlie Darwin]

4,256 in The Showgrounds
That's a great crowd, especially given I'd have rated it as an awkward kick-off time.

It looked poor from where I was. Perhaps 3,000. Dundalk might have brought triple figures.

[bullit]

Dundalk had about 150 i'd say.Don't know about the overall att. though,could never judge atts. in Tallaght.

Extra go 678 in Tolka which sounds like an official number.

The usual chaos before the games. Dundalk fans heading to the ticket booths only to be told that they should pay at the turnstile.

WTF. They just not up to holding games in that stadium. Amateur hour.

[Bray Head]

Once again on a bank holiday week end some teams have two home games and others none. Cork, Drogheda, Shamrock Rvs & Shels all at home twice so crowds on the Monday will be poor. Dundalk, Bohs, Pats, Limerick all away twice. Each team should have one home & one away on bank holidays .

Who told you that? Away tickets are never sold in the booth, always at the gate.

Why? It's an extra game, you have another one on Friday. You only have to pay the players once.

For my last two visits to Tallaght, Dundalk fans had to queue up at the ticket booth with the home fans.

[sligoman]

yeah i've done the same in the past

[Charlie Darwin]

I stand corrected!

[dong]

Said the man in the orthopaedic shoes!

[nigel-harps1954]

944 in Drogheda. Shocking, considering there must have been at least 200+ Pat's fans in the away stand from that Brennan video posted in the other thread.

Also, Corks worst crowd by over 200 people for their derby match.

[El-Pietro]

1851, awful.

it was a Monday afternoon, we never get good crowds on nights other than Fridays.

1851 is actually decent for a Monday.
