I really hope fridays match in terryland is a decent game regardless of who wins.theres an unusual amount of "first-timers" i've spoke to goin and even round NUIG theres a lot of ppl interested(although half of them would be sligo lads up here),
On the other hand it'll prob be 0-0 in the ****in rain and most of them can retire back to the barstools safe in the knowledge that "they gave it a chance"

How, when, and most importantly, why, did you become interested in Irish club football? Answers from people like yourself might provide some clues as to how best attract new fans.
I started going to Bohs games in the 02/03 season, dont know why i went, tolka was nearer but just went to dalyer, plus they were playing some good stuff at the time and went on to win the league that season.
I dont get to all the games but i go to as many as i can and have been to a lot of away games (im living on the southside now). None of my mates could be bothered with it tho, which is sh!tty as there isnt anyone to have a bit of banter with. I reckon i might be able to get one of the lads to go this season, he goes to all the ireland games and dublin gah games and i think once the good weather kicks in live footie on a friday night could be an option.
Strange....the memory I have of it is being nearly full....maybe it was just the shed.Quote:

:confused:
Terryland was full for the 2 big games against Shamrock Rovers and Dundalk towards the end of last season and they were good games, but the crowd was back down to about 1000 against Cobh for the next home match. The fact of the matter is GUFC's crowd depends on how the team are doing its very much boom and bust ranging from huge crowds up in crowley park about 10 years ago when we were doing really well, to a low of something like 100 in the premier the last time we were relegated. I never get to excited when i see big crowds to be honest because it never seems to last.Quote:

I`ve just seen this topic so apologies if this point has been made previously.
What really gets my blood boiling is the idiots wearing man u/lpool etc shirts down the pub one week then cheering on spain when they beat england on the wed night
And to cap it all off, just tune into today fm after 5 on a saturday and listen, just listen to the cringo stuff coming from 'passionate' fans of blackburn, west ham, sheff utd + charlton ALL with thick irish accents....................
they ought to be ashamed of themselves
Jesus christ, you final start going to EL and end up possibly supporting Buisness Proposition FC. Ask the lads in Terryland to show you their promotion trophy from last year:rolleyes:Quote:

Let's review the state of play in the Premier division with just two days to the kick off:
Longford Town: Ground falling down around them, whispers of money trouble
Sligo Rovers: Currently making the Limerick circus look like one old man with his pants down dancing for food
Shamrock Rovers: Still Homeless (Not a dig Rovers fans, just part of the general malaise in the league)
Cork City: Have They signed those two lads or what??
Shelbourne: Ooooops
Dundalk: Oh Dear
Yes folks it's a bright new era we embark upon :ball:
There's my rant over for now :)
Fairplay ;)Quote:

Fact is on Friday we'll be playing in front of 3500 in the Premier League.
Limerick will be playing in front of 350 in Turners Cross against cobh in the 1st Divison.
ThanksQuote:

Wouldn't be too cocky about that if I were youQuote:

And you know what Conor, I wouldn't change it for the world. Hopefully within the next three years I can go to my own promotion party with the soul of my club still intact.Quote:

The "promotion party" was a gathering of GUST for a few drinks after we heard we were promoted.This may seem odd to you but it's what supporters do.They Celebrate.
With the likes of Goldbey and Keady on your books it'll be alot longer than 3 years before ye're in the Premier League.
Your maturity and lack of tact to say something worth while and constructive really shows with "waaa waaa" as a reply.
Yup.;)Quote:

I used waah, waah, waah because the part of your post which I quoted was basically a whinge which didn't merit a proper response
Now shush before they're on to us about giving us our own forum again :p
Right.:)Quote:

and about attendances i wouldnt get carried away, i remember cork city wining the title to a full crowd, only to see half it diassapear for the start of the following season they came back for big games but there is a core of 2000-3000 that go as much as possible and thats a top of the table team not one scrapping for survival.
See your getting the hang of this banter larkQuote:

Couldnt agree more. Hypocrisy of the highest order. That's why I cheer on any team that plays an english side in europe.Quote:
