Heard a rumour Madrid to play Rovers in July !!!!
Florentino Perez presumably stood on the terraces at Milltown as a boy?
I heard a rumour that if you feed pidgeons buttered bread they turn into seagulls.
Who's next?
The SDCC Stadium is truly a magical place, it's like the Tardis. Even when we know for a FACT that it's full, there's still clearly room for another 1,000 patrons.
And I suppose Kildare County do look a bit like Real Madrid if you wish hard enough and squint.
Didn't you know Sheridan - it's "Dress Like A Seat Month" down there at the moment

You're obviously not intelligent enough to know what a sell out is as opposed to a full house.Quote:

Not exactly rocket science but then again what would a Dublin City fan know about sell outs, full houses and season ticket holders :p
Havn't you heard, Kildare County are the Real Mardid of the league, where Real Madrid sign the best players about, Kildare County sign the worst players about!:DQuote:

or on the other hand the novelty has worn off and the attendance is levelling out as one would expect.
Given the second stand is nearly finished will ye really need it after all?
Big coup for Real there.
I can't wait for it. The biggest team in Spain playing the biggest team in Tallaght.
I thought Thomas Davis GAA Club were the biggest team in Tallaght. Shams are only the biggest English team in Tallaght. ;)
Nah, Dundalk fans have progressed from ripping up seats, thwy now burn down things, and assault small pockets of opposition fans before legging it back onto a mini-bus parked at the ground, thus rendering attempts by Dundalk officials to identify assailants - the people who drag the name of the club through the gutter - well nigh impossibleQuote:

No doubt the novelty factor will wear off but when the second stand is complete I think we will average around 4500, filling it (7000) for big games and getting 3-4000 for the run of the mill games.Quote:

I'd suspect the last time an LOI club averaged that sort of figure across an entire season was Derry City about 15 years ago. Maybe also Rovers at the RDS - largely because your early crowds there were big enough to make up for the inevitable tail-off that happened later that season.
150 tickets left unsold out of 3300 capacity. An attendance of around 2800 on a June bank holiday weekend against the bottom team in the league is pretty good. When the east stand opens we will have the room to do all sorts of promotions and offers to get the attendances up.Quote:

"All sorts of promotions"-a rumour spreading that Madrid are coming to town sounds like an excellent "promotion" for the club.Gets ppl talking anyway:p
Seriously,have you a source for this rumour??
So did they,Last man standing:DQuote:

I heard thats what swung it for Florentino Perez, he told his fellow members that if he gets in he can promise that Shamrock Rovers will play Real Madrid,so they all voted for Perez
Guys...you may have to eat your words. This game is in the process of being arranged. Whether it gets the definite go ahead or not im not sure but there is a certain guy involved in arranging the game who is not held in high regard in Abbotstown and this may prove to be a major stumbling block.
