Cork City have been on TV more than anyone else this season. Dundalk next, then Shamrock Rovers.
Interesting that for this season, my main point was that clubs should get something even if it's only 3 or 4k to off set the gate decrease when matches are on telly. Not to mention cases like harps having to close the club shop...its mad ted.Quote:

That not a decent crowd for Shelbourne? What was the capacity for tonight's match?Quote:

Makes you wonder how many will show up in Dalymount if and when that is built ??
On the flip-side, what do Bohs supporters suspect will be the attendance when they move to Tolka next season (presuming that does ahead as planned). Will they still be able to average 1900 at home matches, considering Tolka is only 20-30 minutes walking distance from Dalymount.Quote:

that will be critical for Bohs cos they could be there for 3 or 4 seasons at least...if crowds fall off big time they are up the creek
Tolka capacity can't be any more than 4,000 these days at maximum. It wouldn't take much to open up the closed off parts of the ground though, little bit of TLC.
It's their cup final.Quote:

I seriously doubt we will be leaving Dalymount until a timetable is set for a return. There's no point in us playing in Tolka while Dalyer is left to rot while we are in limbo. I'll be stunned if we are not back in Dalyer next season unless something radical is proposed in the meantime.Quote:

is it still that bad? i saw someone on here praising it after the Rovers cup match so thought they might have cleaned it up a littleQuote:

Given the crowds shels get now and the fact the stadium is to be knocked you can hardly blame them for not spending
In the past couple of years they've cleaned it up considerably, first Shels and then after the council took over, and the pitch is good. It's still falling apart though.Quote:

Lads Tolka is at least as good at United park and the Oriel of last year was not up this year, i was surprise at how clean it was the bally-bok end is still an eyesore mind
That's not saying much. United park is by far the ugliest and most thrown together ground I know.Quote:

Not so sure about that, if you have seen the recent Copa 90 doc on Syria, looks like their league is up and running again in style:DQuote:
