Think it was 2,100 for the League Cup final midweek. I'd be fairly confident that there will be more away fans this time, plus it's a bigger game and more promotion has been done. I'd be dissapointed if we got less that 2,000.Quote:

There were 600 Derry fans down for that; that's a good crowd which Longford won't beat that easily. I agree that the promotion has been a lot better this time though. I'm just naturally sceptical.Quote:

Just checked my UCD.Connect email - why isn't there a message there telling me about it? mind you I almost never use it, and i bet not many do....
Thanks for that dont forget to tell them to shout for UCD hahahaha.Quote:

I had thought of investing in some really pointy sticks and going round the residences on Sunday at 2:30 and rounding up the students but my boss, Who is a solicitor by trade, felt there may be legal issues around it!:rolleyes:
Never mind this game We are looking at drogs doing us a favour tonight;)
Matrin Butler, Vice President for students actually did include the game as part of his regular e-mails. The club doesn't have the power to get at the general connect e-mail list. Our CPO is not considered an employee of the college.Quote:

Impossible to tell. The promotion is probably stronger than the League Cup Final, when there was 2100 there, with 600 from Derry. I do think with the game being in the middle of the Bank Holiday though, that that will reduce the crowd.
Although does anyone go away for the October Bank Holiday?
I think we can make a decent guess!Quote:
