2010 attendances

[Sean South]

A cup quarter final and that's all you can manage to bring to it? Embarrassing really.

A Longford Town fan having pop shots at Monaghan about their travelling support is like two midgets arguing who is the tallest.

Our fans werent the only ones. Seen plenty of Fingal fans outside straight after the game. Heard 2 couples outside talking about how that was an 'enjoyable day out', while inside the cup was being presented - I nearly went over and sparked him out.

So what your telling me is that you where outside quite quickly yourself then. I see. Tut tut, Day tripper.

Jesus. I support a souless franchise with feck all fans and I have only been doing so for 3 years and I still would have stayed around to clap my teams efforts. Good luck against Bohs and if the weather is a little bad and you end up losing, do stay around to at least clap the lads off

Most of our lads stayed back after the game gathering up material and stuff. Fingals section was half empty when they were lifting cup maybe 3/4 empty when they were celebrating. Cant of a day, wind, rain, can't really blame anyone for leaving so quickly. For us it was a real bitter pill to swallow and most of your lot had never been to a Fingal game in their puff so they didn't really care that much

Clapped my team off, then I left. In fact by the time i got to the main entrance of the hotel accross the road Paul Cook was passing outside on his phone. I thanked him for his efforts and then went to the bar, after that I couldnt tell ya.

Its hard to take seeing fans who got their tickets for free outside the ground saying how it was enjoyable, while their club is being handed the trophy, and you know they will have forgotten about it by the next morning.

[redobit]

Especially to Sligo - once is more than enough..

Imagine how we feel, nearly half of our away games in a season are in Dublins fair sh!ty.

[dfx-]

Yeah, but all of your home games are in Sligo, I think we all know which is worse...

Ye, course you did

Already shaping up to be the new Sheridan as the Sporting Franchise Apocolypse edges ever closer.

A new Sheridan is badly needed.

DO you disagree with lep? Do you think redobit "nearly went over and sparked" the Fingla fan out? Or do you think redobit mumbled something and decided to moan on the internet about it instead?

He considered for a moment letting go of his Daddy's hand, but figured he'd get a bateing if he did, sure they were up in Dublin and it's an awful fierce place to go.

[redobit]

I was never in a million years gona spark the lad out ffs, not that type of person what so ever. A bad choice of words granted, but it was just meant to show how annoyed I was at time with so called fans that really didnt give a damn.

Amazing how things on this forum are dissected and wee jibs are floated about. Seriously, were at the business end of a season we should have better things to be talking about, I include meself in that one.

[redobit]

As this is an attendence thread:

Sligo Rovers Vs Bohemians Id say about 2200 with a good travelling support from the Bohs fan (250 odd).

A good attendence for a Tuesday evening by both fans, who had 3 games in a week to pay for.

[Spudulika]

Quick question redobit (I asked a Galway fan this last week), does weather play a factor in attendances in Galway? I remember we always had poorer crowds in Dundalk if it was a dry cold night and strangely more in when it was drizzling (that was a few years ago though).

[redobit]

Hard to say Spud, but I always think the day of a game that if its raining the hour before the game then the crowds are likely to be down. Probably a lot of Will I or Wont I fans that dont like to travel to a game in the rain. Funny enough when they are there they probably couldnt care less cause of the covered areas.

[Spudulika]

It's strange like that, and it's just human nature, you see it tipping down and just figure, ah well. The last time I went to a game in Sligo (2008) it was a clear evening, chilly and a good crowd out. In that sense I miss winter football, it was always a buzz when it got that little damper and more muddy, though maybe I prefer a lower standard of football!
