UCD will also struggle getting scholarship Players in as Galway,Cork and Waterford all have schemes going and there maybe more I dont know about.
UCD have never struggled getting scholarship players and I don't see why you think they would as most of the other schemes have been in place for a while now. 200/300 applied this year AFAIK.

and its only in the last few years their loyal Kop (all 10 of them) have beeb going.
:rolleyes:

Its good to see a UCD fan who is on the level and taking a realistic view of things.

Schumi out of that 2000 at least 1000 were Derry so i'm not wrong in saying yee couldn't even get a 1000 for a league Cup Final in yere home ground.I'd say 500 were supporting UCD and 500 neutrals.

As per Derry fans themselves, they had 5-600 at the game but then I suppose there were 1000 neutrals now. :rolleyes:

Apologies it wasn't you who posted it....sorry.
Out of that 1000 no way were they all UCD fans.Alot probably were students in the college but definitely not all.

There were 5-600 Derry fans according to themselves, the attendance was 2100-odd, I'm sure I can find the exact number if you're interested. Of the other 1500 or so, my guess would be 1000 UCD fans and 500 neutrals based on what I saw selling programmes at the gate and the make up of the stand, a distinct line about half way down the stand with the vast majority wearing blue past it. I'm not suggesting that these 1000 are regular supporters but that's the case for any team in a cup final.

If you don't want to accept that, fine but having been 65-100% off in your estimate of the number of Derry fans, I'd think twice.

UCD being a college surely has a marketing department/course, would it not make sense to set them a project to see how they could increase attendances? It would work on the double to benefit the college.

AFAIK somebody posted on the forum a few months ago looking for our attendences for some sort of research. I think it was only for a personal project though.
