Moronic.
Then again, if Limerick didn't equalise that time... :)
728 would be a lot closer than 500.Quote:

Kudos to the those away fans then.Quote:

Even though the match was technically a home one for St Pats Ath and played in Richmond Pk?Quote:

Of course. How do you think next Friday will go crowd wise? Do you think it could hit 4,000? It's our biggest game so far this season and some of our fans are boycotting it due to the incident last year.Quote:

I'd expect at least 3,000 home fans for this one. I hope Pats fans reconsider their boycott. Security has improved this season as the club had to deal with a serious pyro problem that was threatening to close part of the ground. Unfortunately, away facilities have not improved though the club hopes to improve these before next season.
I'll be there anyway, do we just bring the league trophy and hand it over after the game or do we have to wait until October?Quote:

There is a rumour going that he also plans to apologise for the upset he caused Pats fans last season and arrange counselling for anyone still traumatised.
Practice makes perfect when a boycott is in the airQuote:

BTW how are pats? Any suspensions or injuries?
Hope we break the 3k barrier and if it was any other occasion/time of the year. we probably would bit weather dependent and more importantly the Spain v Holland game will affect the crowd regrettably
I don't know about other clubs but I believe historically our crowds drop off in the summer months due to holidays and other stuff like county championships
No I mean the incident that involved one of our fans falling in the stand and breaking bones in his back.Quote:

You could always play Derek Foran there (please)?Quote:

Hopefully the home fans (I think they will) should come out in force. If Pats don't travel in big numbers, that's their own choice, but their home crowds have been a bit disappointing this season so not sure how many would have planned to come up anyway, but it's poor support for your own team if a small crew travel, there is a chance to reduce the lead to 3 points with Dundalk.
The away section is not good, I fully accept that, in fact its completely unacceptable for a PD ground, but thankfully it's finally being addressed and improvements should be in place next season.
I wonder will Brennan start next Friday, he more than anyone seems to get seriously wound up for Dlk matches, think he was sent off in 2 of the last 3 league matches between the 2. Im looking forward to the MF battle next Friday, will be interesting to see how Conan Byrne and Fahey perform against Dundalk's system.Quote:

I am ambivalent about the number of Pats fans travelling to Oriel Park on FridayQuote:

While I am sceptical about any alleged 'boycott' for any reason (Queen songs, Hanno's accident, Brennan's red cards, no direct bus, the M1 toll, afraid of Leprechauns etc etc), if some do stay at home, hopefully it will include those who tried to mimic aggressive Shams fans by attempting to break down fencing last time around.
The majority of the Pats core support are sound - those who do attend should see a quality football match played by two teams committed to passing football
I hope they stay away from all our games, too many little scumbags have started going to our games over the last year. Green street wannabes.Quote:

I counted 251 at St Colman's, though that was towards the end of match, so might have missed some people.Quote:

If not, I think that's a real pity as there is going to be a cracking atmosphere, thankfully the WC game on at same time doesn't appear to taking any interest away from the match by local fans.
The away section is as it was unfortunately, improvements won't take place until next season, but most know that by now. However there will be around 150-200 stand seats made available, possibly more.
We won't know until Friday night I suppose but I haven't seen any mention of a bus going up so might be a poor enough crowd of us. I hope not.Quote:

As the accident happened in the Stand Oriel the condidtion of the away terrace would have little to do with any boycott. Questions do still remain but there is no point in rehashing the unfortunate incident and as it was an accident in the stand that meets regulations it would be nice for the club to have the Pats fan involved invited as a guest at the upcoming fixture!Quote:
