So at the time, you realised it was just a joke?

So why this post then:




Why are you pointing out the 'spy' element of the post, if you knew it was a joke?

And if we are to believe that you knew it was a joke, can you then point out what other part of/other posts in the thread gave you reason to say this:

Look, PM me if it means so much to you as others have made fair effort to get this back on topic since, if you read through.

Yeah?

The figures in parentheses are the averages at the end of each of the previous seasons.

Lately..averaging out around 10,000 spectators between the 10 weekend matches. Around 8,000 of that is Premier Division.

A good weekend will see anything up to 15,000 out around the grounds, and it also depends on who's playing at home.

A few teams seeing gates of less than 300 each week brings down the average significantly.

You guys are really on the ball today. Ill try to go to a UCD game to try and get their attendance up.

Stu, you should go to Evoo the next time you are in Montreal. Super chef, Dublin born and raised. Really making noise on the respected Canadian culinary scene. Fine French cuisine fused with Irish pub fare. Might get a Michelin soon.
