They got a five figure flat fee, and they could sell merchandise

Tom said in last nights Evening Echo that there was 1 6 figure sum involved .

I hope that Caughlin is telling the truth for once. (16 figure sum would be impressive alright;))

30 k had been mentioned to me by some Hoops six weeks ago when the capacity was going to be 7,000. Presumably they negotiated a higher fee with the higher capacity?

100K and whatever merchandise they could sell seems to be the figure I've heard most for Rovers. I don't think any amount of money could have bought them the amount of positive press they've gotten from this, it was a really special day for Tallaght, a place that's had more than it's fair share of bad press, from what I've heard the whole area looked very well and came across well on Sky.

100k is laughable. 30k is about right

Extratime.ie say only 250 est. at the Drogs game. I know its only Dundee Utd but you would expect a few more than that.

Not really. Although United probably brought 150. E15 (I assume; I think FAI ticket prices hold for friendlies too) is probably a bit steep for a game like that. I'd be happy if we got 250 tonight.

Whats the point in playing a friendly game like that so. If youre not making a whole lot finacially on the game, is worth risking injuries to some first team players?

1) Make whatever few pennies you can
2) Give some players a run out
3) Build up relations with other teams

Players are as likely to get injured in training as they are friendlies

There would have been a lot more at it i would reckon if it was'nt for the hype of Ronaldo and Co playing down in tallaght.

300 was the estimate for DUFC v DUFC on the DUFC forum. 50 Scotch fans it seems.

Personal observation no doubt.

What was your estimate?

UCD 0-2 Dundee United. Enjoyable game; their keeper made three quality saves, and they scored with the last kick, annoyingly enough. Could easily have picked up a draw, but we had to be nice to them after beating them last year. We had a couple of trialists who did OK, and made nine subs in all. About 200 at it. They didn't bring on Danny Cadamarteri. :mad: :p

That was actually on the news last night. I was surprised.
