I didnt see 800 Harps fans it tbh.Quote:
1565 was the official attendance with about 700 Sligo fans,
Probably about right with the estimation of Rovers fans, about 700 or so.

Yes yous had a good shout for a peno as did we and we were lucky not to have let the lead slip.
As for the officials, they were equally ****e for both sides, don't let your own bias cloud that one, Paddy K was kicked all over the park and one terrible tackle near the end over on the main stand side should have been a red card, you could hear the clatter of the studs against his shinpads from our side but the lino waived play on.
If, as you say, that was an increase on normal attendances, how the fcuk do yous survive?, a Rovers official told me 610 of us 350 of yous, very poor home crowd for a cup game.
Anyway thanks be to jaysus I wont have to suffer goin up to the flan siro for twelve months at least, the ticket office for away fans didn't open until 35 minutes before kick off with 3-4 hundred queing, whats the crack with employin your local pub bouncers as stewards? What experience have they got as match day officials? I'll tell you, none. They stood in front of our section peering in tryin to entice some of our ******* section into doin something stupid, they were repeatedly asked to sit down as they were blocking peoples view, but they refused, fcukin scumbags.
55 minutes to get from the ground to the top end of the town, bleedin disaster. An hour and ten from there to O'Connell bridge!! Thank god for late opening on Fridays.

It's a pity they weren't as professional and thorough as the stewards in Tallaght who allowed someone to walk across the pitch to fall around infront of Gary Rogers and left it to the St Pats players to remove him. :bulgy:

I was mearly stating that a game such as last night in the cup against Rovers at home could only attract a small home crowd, which was apparantly a big increse on the norm and I wondered how they survive day to day. But of course Rovers fans asking a question on here is taboo to some.Quote:

The use of renting where there is no need in this case just shows that small time mentality again.
As for the "boycott" mentioned by "Rasputin".There is none.Was never one and probably will never be one.If an individual posters choose not to post then thats up to them.Me,well I'm never one to sheirk a disagreement so here I am.The "boycott" line usually gets thrown in when a poster hasnt got a leg to stand on,just before the spelling and punctuation card is produced.
Then we have a percieved arrogance.Not from me.I know where we've been and I know there is nothing worse than bigging yourself up only to be knocked down.Can't see Rovers fans ever using (eg) "big club" as a tag because its so easy to knock with something as simple as the attendance at the bray fixture last week.
The matchday set up at Longford last night was not a very pleasant one.
Body-searched,2 portaloos(One men,one women so in essence one portaloo for 580 men!),12 steward blocking the view standing eye-balling fans.Some will say we bring it on ourselves but then these little things are easily avoided.If we are so bad why allow both sets of supporters out at the same time.I thought standard practise was to hold away fans back?
Although LTFC arn't responsible for the traffic,surley its not beyond the realms of posibility for 1 of the gards zooming up and down the Stroketown rd to direct traffic at the busy T-junction in the town centre-Again a little thing that would make the match day experience a little less of a chore.
If arrogance is not wanting to que for 15 mins for a leak then so be it!
Seriously,How are you not barred for wumming?You add nothing,inject yourself into discussions you know nothing about using broad sterotypes and when questioned on specifics you churn out the same worn out topic such as,Boycotts,arrogance of Rovers fans,renting,racism and hooligan jibes.You cant even accept your club cheated mine and the FAI from the split of around 800 paying customers despite EVERYONE agreeing that the sligos attendance figure was a sham!Quote:

As for blocking the view, I assume they can see more standing up, just look around them or move a foot to your left or right. It's a tiny little bit inconvenient but it's certainly preferrable to a situation where the stewarding is so lax that a fan can walk on to the pitch, fall around infront of Gary Rogers and then have it left to Pats players to drag him off.
I agree, Shamrock Rovers fans should behave better on their travels and the board should be seen publicly to make examples of those who don't.Quote:

The match day experience at Tolka when you were in Division 1 was a bit manky.
Still, ye had far less resources then, so I wont hold it against ye.
Actually, I seem to remember a shocking incident in Tolka that year when a Limerick player was strectered off on a table for example.
I'm glad to here Longford have sorted out the wiring and plastering.Quote:

maybe just maybe if rovers fans asked why clubs feel it neccessary to hire bouncers, doormen to steward your fans instead of defending sometimes dispicable behavouir
and then to insult and denegrate grounds around the country as kips,dumps etc and then get upset when someone uses the word rented is i think foolish
Yeah because SRFC were responsible for the order of maltas equipment.:rolleyes:
The fledgling SRFC board of our first div. year would have put most other clubs to shame as regard the matchday orginisation.TBF it was with the help of shels officials that helped the operation run as smooth as it did.We also had the same resources while in the prem. and playing in Tolka ie.we didn't use the fact we were div 1 as an excuse.
With regard resources-You get what you deserve in football.If the people of Athlone,Limerick,Longford got out and supported their team chances are they'd be in the premier.I shouldn't feel guilty because our increased attendance and the extra revenue they create are more than the above teams.
Ditto on your last point!
I havn't defended anything mate nor called anywhere a "kip" or a "dump" nor am I upset about renting Tallaght.I'm over the moon we are renting Tallaght.Quote:

For me renting is the future of sustainable football in Ireland.Owning Tolka or Dalymount hasn't exactly been a bed of roses for shels or bohs not to mention Drogheda.
As Ive said in another thread-"the Field" mentality.
Whether or not there's a stretcher there would be the type of thing a well organised club would check before a game in my opinion. You clearly don't agree though so that's fair enough. It's all about opinions.Quote:

Either way far more resources than a Longford Town, even had help from another club!!
And if the people had come out and supported Rovers in the 80s Kilcoyne wouldn't have sold Milltown from under your arse. But lets not go off on tangents, tis pure pointless.Quote:

I can't speak for Athlone or Longford but I reckon if the council built a nice new ground and made it available to us for rent, we could get significantly higher crowds. As it stands our crowds aren't awful, all things considered
No ones asking you to feel guilty dear. I'd say one or two are struggling to grasp your struggle to grasp the reasons for what happened in Longford though.Quote:
I shouldn't feel guilty because our increased attendance and the extra revenue they create are more than the above teams.

Strange to be lectured on an away fans perspective on last night in Longford by someone who wasn't there!
You'll never know if you will ever have big crowds in Limerick unless you do something about it,although Athlone have a fine muicipal stadium not too far from the town centre and god knows they can't get the crowds flocking to a fine stadium -You seem to think that if you had the same facility as SRFC you would have similar crowds,maybe you would but I just dont think its as easy as that and other factors such as a strong core support,the right people in charge,a good marketing campaign along with an appetite for live football from the locality are all as important as the ground itself.
i seem to recall some scum trying to chant during a minutes silence, i suppose the fact people told them to shut up makes it ok? your fans are no angels so don't try and make it seem like they were being picked on by the big bad bouncers
actually i remember seeing some sort of trouble between the fans and stewards a few times lads came down and shouted abuse at the stewards, what was all that about i was quite far away
and yes our attendances are awful 200 approx per game so to have 1,000 was fantastic,
i estimate a little under 500 shams fans, certainly not in the region of 600, whoever your official is can't count, )no wonder so many LOI clubs go to the wall if the people in charge can't count)
and we destroyed you for the most part in the 2nd half, we let in 2 awful goals you didn't deserve to win, for christ sake all ye did was hoof the ball all game
On a side note i was having a p1ss yesterday (when you have your best taughts ) and i taught to myself, how much has the standard of the top teams in the league declined if the likes of fenn who could get no where near the old bohs 1st team can walk into the starting 11 of the ''best'' team in the country at present
apologies for inarticulate badly worded post, i am a tad hungover and am listening to kids argue over the wii...

AcornVilla is right your fans started signing during a minutes silence and thats just pure dirt on your fans behalf.....I was surprised with the amount of drunk supporters that got in the was a fella in the stand who was falling down the steps and the guards (who made a mess of the whole thing imo) seen him yet let him walk on despite him roaring abuse at them.
Like I said the guards made a mess of the thing and whenever they try to direct traffic hey make a pure blx of things people would be better off doing things themselves.
the reason the fans were let out at the same time was because their was a fence up seperating the fans and the guards were ready with dogs so well done to the club it was well done and I hope Rovers enjoy the rest of their away days.
Apologies for presuming so.I have been there for a friendly and as very impressed.Don't know where I got my info from!Quote:

Cant say it happened this time but once or twice(Def. in sligo this year!) in the past fans queing outside grounds have broken minute silences without knowing one was taken place.
There was no trouble in the ground.One hoop decided to offer a bit of brinkmanship with a bouncer which ended in a group hug-Seriously!!
The count I was told was give or take 60/40 Rovers.This is not an estimate.This was the figure taken by the same people who clicked patrons entering the Showgrounds and the gate money recieved by Rovers corresponded to this.The words "at least they didnt try to cheat us" were then quoted by the same bloke.TBF argueing about who had 50 fans more each is pointless but I must say I hoped for Longford sake a bigger crowd might have come out for a cup tie against the team on top of the premier div. on a nice night for football.
On the game,The first 20 mins saw the recent Rovers but as the first half wore on Longford got more and more into it.Second half was similar and it was clear Longford where more up for it than us.If you had more quality you might have won the game but unfortunetly for you,you didn't and Rovers played out the match willing to hit Longford on the break.You deserved your goal and I remarked at the time that it was coming but in the end you're scrappy one goal wasn't enough to beat our scrappy two goals.Maybe a draw would have been a fair result but as Rovers fans left the ground most were more happy with the result in a potentially tricky away fixture than how it was achieved.
Look at the remaining teams nthe cup for your gap between div. 1 and the premier.
PAts,Bohs,Rovers,Sligo,Bray and most likely Fingal(open to correction of course!!)while both Drogheda and Dundalk were knocked out by fellow prem. teams.Galway should also progress.
One swallow doesn't make a summer.
"Excellent" maybe how you would describe your experience but then you were in the home end.Don't get me wrong it wasn't that bad,it just could have been better.By all accounts the gate didnt open until something like 30 mins before kick off-And one portaloo for 500 or so men is far from excellent.Quote:

Quick tip-Most football fans will drink on buses to away grounds.Surely the stewards who are searching for god knows what at the stiles can tell who has over-stepped the mark?
P.S. Acornvilla,
Don't kid yourself into thinking that was Rovers first team on friday.No Murray,Rice,Stewart all players playing their best football of the season.O'Nell also handed a debut to yoiung McGuinness while we were 2 up so its a tad unfair to say say what you did re Fenn.
Fenn was brought to the club rightly or wrongly because he fulfills the attributes needed by the manager while playing a particular system,ala the unfit Dessie Baker.
Oh and no need for "" in your last sentence.Top of the league is generally a good barometer as to who is best,second best etc......at a particular point in time.Should we are "best" come November when it matters remains to be seen!!
I've been in Longford well over a dozen times at this stage I know the craic.Quote:
