The only way I can see that is if they sell tickets at reduced prices to the parents of kids playing underage as a way of raising funds and include them too.
All coaches, managers, back room staff etc.. HAD to buy one according to some of them. Some of them then in turn have bought season tickets for the kids. This would account for a large portion of sales. Amazingly these members of the club are the very ones not even bothering showing up at the matches.Quote:

Like it or not, it is a fairly standard practice. i think I've said earlier in this thread, that it is the standard in UK football, and in other sports in Ireland.
Pats cetrainly don't do it. Can't speak for all other clubs.Quote:

Not really saying it's right, just that it's not totally off the wall.
Official attendance at Cork City vs Dundalk is 2815. Heavy rain just before kickoff probably didn't help it, not bad though.
805 in Tolka for Shels v Mons.
we didn't get an official attendance in Tallaght but estimate of about 2,500
481 was the official attendance from Limerick FC vs Mervue United.
Way down from the last few home games. Not one bit suprising though.
Had the potential to really push on and get big crowds for the first time in years but the results but mainly the performances against Longford and Waterford have caused major damage.Quote:

1087 for Drogs V Sligo tonight.
