I'm going to argue that a Bohs fan mentioning European away attendences makes me laugh more than you've managed to type there.
And our crowds are pretty much equal if you check the attendence threads, but don't let reality hit you, Bohs fans rarely do.
Rearrange these words into a well known phrase:Quote:

At least Derry's bandwagon fans in the late 80's managed to last a few seasons before they took to their barstools again :D
Are you crazy??? Do you even go to Shels games? Bohs attendances dwarf Shelbourne's, and Bohs don't have to go around industrial estates handing out free tickets to bemused Europeans to fill seats. :rolleyes:Quote:

Shelbourne's crowds are an embarassment to Irish football. With all their difficulties even Shamrock Rovers can still pull in more punters, and fair play to them.
You accuse me of make believe yet ignore the fact that our attendences have never been far apart, check the attendence thread, all Shels and Bohs numbers there are offical bar the latest match, the Longford game. Rovers don't even get near enough, you're talking complete and utter sh*te.
Yeah the biscuit tin method is a great way of measuring attendances. The day Shels release official attendances is the day that pigs fly. Everybody knows what kind of dealings go down in Tolka and why the attendance figures released will never be accurate.
Ah, so you know better eh?
Are you accusing Shels of lying about their attendences by exaggerating them? Is that Bohs fans latest shyte, Shels are feeling generous so we want to pay more tax?
ha ha ha etc etc
Pigs must be flying, as Shels have released offical attendences all season.
Unlucky.
You must be fairly thick if you can't think of the financial benefits in Shelbourne FC giving exaggerated attendance figuresQuote:

Something to do with the turnstyles we have being allowed under that very licensing deal.Quote:

And with that genius statement goes any credibility that can be attached to your posts.Quote:

You obviously, much like their support, didn't goto their relegation play off match.
You're right, Shels problem has been the smaller games have gotten far less home supporters than the bigger games, so our crowds go up and down. I'd say that's down to the fact we've played some awful football to watch at times recently, though for friday games this season the crowds haven't decreased too much at all so it's improving it seems. Monday games we get awful crowds though.
I thought there was no tax levied on entrance fees to sports events in the South - unlike the north....?Quote:

A.It doesn't
It's different here, I'm not 100% sure on how it works but it's still not in your best interests to exaggerate attendences. It's something to do with your end of year profit they tax you on, which entrance fees is part of, but I'm not sure.Quote:

There is no arguing the fact that Shels are disgracefully supported :confused:
