As we have cut our outgoings to a minimum. Simple really. Keep eroding the outstanding crippling debt and keep things going on the pitch. If we can survive the next season or two then things will ease a lot.

Yes I know, but at least you could afford to put batteries in the electronic substitute board and clean the place up a bit. There was bird sh1t all over the seats.Quote:

Is the substitute board not for the match officials to sort? Genuine question btw I don't know.Quote:

I would have said their was more than 200 there. (300-400!) In case you haven't noticed,we're second last in the table! Waterford are up near the top and have a much bigger catchment area and they get wonderful crowds of... 500ish... WOW:DQuote:

Dont get me wrong I like Flancare Park but the seats in main stand do need a clean.Quote:

From starting with 200 to now 550, looks like the best crowd of the season so far and growing!
Well it might does have a sign there actually:( but there is an away supporters entrance and barriers up for segregation in the terrace, but due to everyone complainig they probably just let people in the stand now except for teams with proper away support! Yes, they do, but theirs a hell of a lot that don't either!Quote:

It is up to the club to make sure the electronic board they have is charged and in working orderQuote:

So what your saying is that ye actually got that much at a Monaghan home game that didnt involve a Premier Division side!:eek:Quote:

Partizan was saying there was 200 at Longford-Waterford, Keen2win said more like 300-400 (not a hope in hell by the way, Partizan is spot on), then Ronnie misread Magicme's post and said "From starting with 200 to now 550, looks like the best crowd of the season so far and growing!"
All the subsequent confusion stemmed from that.
Bar your little snipe at the end B&W, despite your 'shock' they obviously did get that amount there.
Yup. Hopefully it is the turning of the tide and not a once off. We are hoping that those who were there enjoyed the game and the fact that we won and will make it a regular thing, even if half of them do it will be a big improvement!Quote:

You can be sure the crowd willl be smaller against Bray in our next home league game,unless we beat both Derry and Sligo.Quote:

Various papers reported all sorts of figures but it was around 1500.
As for the new stadium we're waiting for grant money to be released to the contractor. Once that happens progress should be relatively rapid. How the stadium is related to last night's game is beyond me though.
See what happens to the kids of Monaghan when they are influenced by your Dublin players! :(Quote:
