Disgrace alright.
I often wonder how can clubs like Kilkenny, Kildare and Monaghon can sustain themselves with crowds that small... How much do they pay their players?
Must be very hard alright. Kildares striker isnt bad, blond lad that got the goal, doubt hes taking little money
Sponsorship and other off field activites like the five month draw:Quote:

If you know any clubs interested get them to get in contact with the club.
Next Monday would have been perfect for those midweek matches but that would just make sense :rolleyes:Quote:

Seems the drop in the quality is also having an impact on the gates. 2nd in the table after years of doing nothing and 800 turn up :(
In fairness I wouldn't be surprised if plenty of people looked outside, saw the weather and didn't bother going. Even taking that into account though it's still a poor crowd.
1,616 for Galway -v- Waterford .Good crowd considering it was the friday of Race week and it was an evening meetiing. We have been asking the league for the last 20 yrs for an away fixture in Race week but they still manage to give us a home one. The Ref was the worst I have ever seen Derek Tomney Son of Mick he ran off the field before the two teams and didnt leave Terryland until well over an Hour after the Game.

Just 2,500 at Cork City V Sligo :(
We're down to our Hardcore now. Where are the missing 6,000 from the Sunderland friendly :mad:
Should be interesting in Finn park on friday night, there was just over 5000 in finn park last night and they got a real show. Many have said they will be coming up on Friday so.........................
It was on Setanta last night plus the torrential downpour hours before the gameQuote:

Recent matches missing -
Dundalk v Athlone
Harps v Monaghan
Monaghan v Dundalk
Shels v Athlone
Decent crowd at Mons v Dundalk. I'll leave it to magicme to confirm but I'd estimate 750
around 700-750 at Longford - Bohs, stand looked nearly 3/4 filled and a few over on the far side.
889 for Shels Athlone. Official attendance from Fintan Cassidy
pineapple are you missing the attendance from both our Athlone games?
Nope; just the second one.
I used whatever I was given.
If you want to argue the case for a different figure, you may do so in a non-huffy manner.
Ah, I see, 2 refers to second fixture. CheersQuote:

Excellant crowd, good athmosphere? should be interesting to see who turns up! Was there many wearing Celtic shirts or your own, we had 520 at the Kilkenny game, peeing rain, I treally thought it was going to be worser, young lads sang all evening and weel behaved, also it would have been nice to have the stand finished, nobody is gonna stand out in the rain with kids.Quote:

I honestly think LOI clubs are facing a real uphill battle to compete against the likes of Celtic, Liverpool and Man U. No prob supporting both but claiming they would never go to a LOI game is stupidity.
Nobody has answered my question regarding the figures in brackets though? Anyone know?Quote:
