2-1 down last time I checked. Seems the lack of fitness in the latter stages of both games has hurt them.Quote:

Lawn and Oriel Park in one sentence, well its about time! Id have accepted 'plastic lawn' too.
Scored twice in injury time to win 3-2! So messes your theory a bit, but they're still outQuote:

Also, the last 4 matches at HOME (W0-D1-L3) have seen the LOI team fail to score, last time LOI side scored at least 2 goals at HOME was Drogheda United in 2008.
Of the 8 previous times, LOI side lost 2-1 AWAY in the first leg in all European competitions, they have qualified on 3 occasions and failed 5 times. Of the 3 that succeeded, 2 of them were in the European Cup (Bohemians v Omonia Nicosia [CYP] 1978, Dundalk v Fram [ISL] 1981) and the other was in the UEFA Europa League (St. Patrick's Athletic v Shakhter Karagandy [KAZ] 2011). Most recent loss was this season when St. Patrick's Athletic lost to Skonto.

Some irregular betting patterns on that game apparentlyQuote:

I have even softened in my own views on the club, the stick that was used to beat them of poor support can't be used any longer with the way crowds have gone down.They are a stable club with respectable facilties & produce decent young players that try to play the game the right way, best of luck on Thursday.

Dundalk have a terrific chance against BATE and there is no reason they can't go through. Physically, tactically and skillwise they can match them, it's now all about belief. It'd be top-3 in Irish Euro results in the last 15 years (for me).
Just so long as he's still ok to take his place on the bench in the Bowl on ThursdayQuote:

I was looking at that result and was thinking wtf something not right there with the red card and then 2 quickfire goals in injury time. Seemed a bit too tidy for a side that won 4-1 with ease a week ago. Had totally forgotten there was form previous (v Sligo?).Quote:

According to the attendance thread on here our attendances are actually up this season from last.Quote:

At what level do you think that LOI offers better money than England?Quote:

The financial freedom that gives a club must be huge Id say on average LOI clubs sell 400-500 season tickets.The only ace our clubs have is european money but very often that covers other expenses & doesn't get invested in infrastructure.
Alan Keane must have had more on them to win they had on us to win. Missed a penalty and scored an own goal.Quote:

City had a decent number this year too, I don' tthink it was quite 1000 but it wasn't far off.
City and Dundalk combined had close to 2000, and Rovers probably would have had a decent number as well. If they had 1000 then those three clubs would have sold enough to bring the entire LOI average up to 150. I assume Rovers had less than that but I would imagine the average is a lot higher than 150 as every other club will have sold tickets.
Depressing figures especially when the value these tickets offer is fantastic, ours was €200 this year I think.I not sure what the family ticket was but it was still great value for the amount you get.
The serial no. on my Rovers season ticket has been in the 1100's the last few years, I always buy at the last minute

Cobh: 50
Harps: 100
Shels: 120
UCD: 50
Waterford: 70
Wexford: 70
All of that would leave the average betwee 210-245. Stand to be corrected on those figures, but can't imagine them being much higher.
Pats have about 500, and it's regularly about that number too
That was my initial thought about Pats, but figured it must have been lower with a fair bit smaller fanbase than the likes of Shamrock Rovers in Dublin.Quote:
