Fair play to all the Pats fans who stayed on long after the final whistle to applaud, touch of class.
A few hundred German fans in the crowd of 1800 in Tallaght. Did UCD get a German subsidy as well yesterday?
Danny Furlong whose girlfriend was murdered during the season, but who still ended up the division's top scorer? Have to admire the fella.Quote:

I mean fair play to him its brilliant for him and it was tragic what happened but has nothing to do with what was being said.
I thought it was his sister?Quote:

Ya it was his girlfriend, just the same last name.Quote:

I heard he turned down Limerick and Waterford at the start of the season to stay with us. Hopefully he stays next season tooQuote:

He really did, he got 10 goals in his last 8 games! Elmes had a great season too, scored a lot of important goals and plenty against Harps :pQuote:

What will happen if ye don't get promoted? Hasn't your sponsor gone bust? That'l surely affect your budget next seasonQuote:

What about the ground name though? Will there be a name change for next season?

Ha, our crowds suck, but have still improved for the second season in a row, little victory's and all that..
As for the ground name, I have honestly no idea what will happen.
I'd love to see Waterford go up and Dundalk come down to the first division. At least they might bring a few more away fans and we'll have some sort of sniff of a team that's not 3 hours away from us.
It was actually 1486, Ralph had misread/heard the attendance when announcing it.Quote:

There was a lot of that from the PA Saturday night! Guess the emotion of the evening got to him.Quote:

Was there only 250 at Dundalk-Bohs game? Where are all those crying "save our club" Get out and support your club and stop hoping someone will ride in to your rescue.
I was chatting to one of ze Germans that was there and he says he counted 136 in the away section and an estimate of over 600 in total.Quote:

I know with Flancare that another company has being formed.. So I dont think it will effect it too much Flancare will still be on our jerseys next season.. They still give money to us every season!
Met two FC Union Berlin supporting Germans on Friday night after the game and one of them was a Dundalk fan after heading to college in DkIT in 1999-2000.Quote:

there were some Leverkusen and VFL Bochum fans in the away end at Tolka. They had us learning some chants, I think their rivals from Rot Weiss Essen were in the lego stand
Good God I hope they teach the football fans of this country some alternatives to that dreadful St Pauli song.
:rolleyes: It must be great looking down and shouting at others from the top o' the pile!Quote:

Supporters here have become disilliunsioned with the results on the pitch this season(see leauge table).Couple that with the time and day of the game and then you have attendance meltdown.
By the way,there was double+ the attendance mentioned,not great by our standands or by any standard but understandable in the circumstances.
Well done on yer leauge ribbon btw and hope to be playing yee again next season in the Prem
I knew there was no way 250 was right.Quote:

Rounds off a good season attendance-wise for us.
What's the mood like in Cork re: next season? Do the fans think Dunne can take the club forward or do they want change?
happy to give him another transfer window to sort things out, weve had a good end to the season and hes starting to find his team. bring in a proper striker or two and a left winger and we might push on a good bit.

I think this year will stand to the current squad, we lost so many points this year in games where we were one or two goals up. They need to be able to concentrate for the whole game and no drop so deep and i think we'll be fine. One or two additions definitely would be great, but we have the bones of a good team there already.Quote:

Extratime announced 550 as the attendance in Flancare tonight. Poor.
