You'll surely bring more than that - if the game was in Bray I'd expect us to have 200 at least for a last 8 game.
It would be a bad show if there wasn't a 1000 for a cup quarter. Big push needed by FAI and both clubs to promote this game.

Who did we beat in the quarters in 2007?. I'm gone blank.
Limerick 3-1.Quote:

In a perfect world we would bring 600/700 hundred but that aint the case, last season for our 1/4 final reply against Galway (2 Premier Division clubs) there was only about 400 in total in the Carlisle Grounds for it. Shocking stuff !Quote:

We just don't have the hardcore support to bring 200+ down to Longford :(
Why don't the people of Bray support Bray? :confused:Quote:

Goughie is playin the best football of his career since he has being moved in front of the back four considering the way his bray career ended Im sure he will be well up for it.. Cant think of any other players that have played for both clubs thats on the current panel..
What a stupid question, it's not like Bray are somehow the exception...Quote:

Dane Massey and Gareth Coughlan trained with us at the start of last season but Eddie got in there first to sign themQuote:

We've just re-signed Gary Cronin and if memory serves me correct that makes it 2 each on the ex-player front. Any word on the day of the game? If it's saturday or sunday will have to get work offQuote:
