So i think thats a shortfall of approx 1300 on 06. Granted there may have been a few more on Railway End but by maybe 1 or 2 hundred now do you see how there couldnt have possibly been more there the other nite or 6000 for that matter??
Just goes to show what foolishness it was to knock the shed AND terrace.Quote:

For the record, I had a look at the Derry 06 game on DVD. The shed and church hill terrace were open and full. The Railway end was packed similar to Friday night. Most of the Derry supporters in the Jinks Ave stand looked to be standing rather than sitting.
So I conclude, that there was a larger crowd in 06. The reported figure in 06 according to the DVD was.....wait for it.......5100, exactly the figure quoted in the Weekender......spooky eh!
Only problem being that any neutral viewer had switched off/over long before that.Quote:

So then, I heard somewhere Sligo Rovers told the FAI the official attendance was 3600?!?!?!
Are we going to get our fair share of the gate recipients? Which I do believe is, and correct me if I'm wrong, is split 3 ways??
Ye can ask!Quote:

Anyone saying there was more than that at the game are
1. Accusing the club of lying.
2. Acussing the club of withholding monies from Waterford and the FAI.
3. Seem to forget Waterford are entitlesd to have a representative from their club at each turnstile cross checking numbers.
The attendance sheet handed to the FAI states there was 3,600 at the game - FACT - as stated by Gavin and Mooney.Quote:

Seems like your own fans are disagreeing with you!Quote:
