Don't think Cork are alone in that, I add Athlone and Waterford to that list. Probably a few more clubs if I thought a bit more about itQuote:

St Patrick's Athletic look set to take close to 1,000 fans to Turner's Cross, with a near capacity crowd expected as Cork.
To be fair Cork would have almost certainly had higher attendances and a higher turnover if they had priced their tickets a little cheaper. That was definitely a major **** up, as it's one thing to **** your fans off for profit, it's another to get your pricing wrong and reduce the clubs income !Quote:

Athlone have been a basket case the last 20 years, Waterford also. Cork's issue is that the glory days under Caulfield have made having a quiet period of stability unattractive, as soon as they get up they expect to start challenging for Europe again. Dundalk will suffer with that next season too.Quote:

Are two relegations and five managers in three years "a quiet period of stability"?Quote:
