Well there's no doubt we will be out of it if we keep playing and grinding out results like that.
Terrible crowd for Shels given the fact they're coasting this division. About 450-500 in Finn Park last night. Not a huge amount less than Shels and we're 3rd from bottom.
A lot of that has to do with the tenuous support we have as a club, the Ireland game, the bull of the last week with Sheriff.
Wasn't a bad match - solid performance from Shels. I have a funny feeling that Wexford threw it, though.
Do you get any feeling people will stop going after that shambles and the feeling some have underneath it all they threw the game and feck going to support them?Quote:

I need a week or so to cool down. I just think to have been at Tolka last night to cheer on a certain player would have been the height of hypocrisy.
Nothing will come of it I know but it's not that easy to just accept it.
In time, perhaps.
Cork and Derry Cities have shown us that being in the 1st division has nothing to do with low attendance figures, this has been a problem for Shels since before we ever got relegated and it's about time something was done about it, for the sake of the club.Quote:

A tad strange considering it was one of their most important league games in years. I'm not convinced the time was a 'large' contributing factor (not wumming here) but the lack of money might be. I know families who have just shed out hundreds of euros getting a few kids back to school and that's with the xmas crap already in some shops. The reason I think this is a more relevant reason is other crowds were lower than expected also - I'd have thought the Cork/Lims crowd would have had a minimum 500 more than it did. Money is tight, I know it is for me.
5pm kick off on a Saturday didn't help.Quote:

It meant anyone playing themselves at 3pm on Saturday would struggle to make it, even 6pm wouldn't have been too bad but heaven help us that we would inconvenience Munster and their loyal fans.
Nope it was the kick off time.Quote:

I would say between 300-500 of a hit on the attendance.
Defo was. I know of at least 5 regulars that couldnt make it due to time. Rasputin figure of between 3oo - 500 is a good estimate on how much the gate was down.Quote:

I think the main point being missed here is that those ******* in the FAi have taken the payment to a home team away for Live games. Its a joke.
Fair enough lads re: the timing. I don't know the ins and outs as to RTE/FAI payments but the home side should obviously get more due to the attendance drop, lower shop and food sales, etc. The football on the telly is a good PR boost for the league (if the game is good more so) but it ultimately affects the home teams finances in a negative manner and this needs to be remedied if/when a club is out of pocket.
Incidently, I thought the Showgrounds looked really good on the box with all the improvements carried out recently.
Limerick FC v Dublin Town
Dark skies + One Dimensional, can't break down Salthill Devon, horseshiznit = 398
:bulgy:
Limerick Longford tonight 398 was the attendance
282at RSC according to extra time.

No TV money for either Team for the last 2 seasons FAI keep it all.Quote:
