The suggestion on the Cork forum is that TNB is maybe pocketing the cash himself. I think similar is alleged to have happened on the last game of Rovers' old regime.Quote:

25 Bray fans in Oriel, Not the 15 reported previously :D
Indeed. But it's just another possibility which brendy_éire obviously hadn't though of.Quote:

We always get a great crowd up there for an F.A.I. cup game Steve, so that may even be an under estimate.Quote:

Eh...nah.Quote:

Might have to start rounding down those Rovers figures
Not when you include the two per seat and the step standing strategy which is an integral part of the glittering stellar business model?Quote:

terrible crowd at the game last night, max 300 with about 50 up from tralee, and the game was as bad as the crowd, awhful!!
Irish Times must be well off then! They said 500 with half from Tralee.Quote:

I would have said 300-400 tbh.Quote:

I would think that you will get smaller and smaller away crowds if you don`t sort out better accommodation and away tickets on sale on the night
Yep - our away section is a disgrace, I`ve said that many many times before.
I really hope this is improved for next season.
Fair point
Didn't they just copy Bohs' stand safety model?Quote:

Would take a guess and say a little or under or a little over 2000 in the Showgrounds tonight.
There was a lot of Derry fans, over 500 easy.Quote:

About 300 fans mentioned on yer forum.Quote:

Dont upset them anymore Sligoman but there was at least 400 Derry whingers.
Think it was more than that though.Quote:

Do ye's normally use that whole stand? It was just rather cramped. Not a massive issue really mind, no safety issue.
Why mention the 130 kids? what has that got to do with anything, they are still in attendance.Quote:

You had about 10 lads singing and id say another 20 or so adults around the stand :D
Dont you just love this league :D
About 400 at Harps-Shels. Im not great at estimating crowds though.
Well I think whats being implied is that there won't be 130 of those kids at your next home game, so that attendance is very worrying, especially as you've hit form again recently, since we beat you.Quote:

Shocking attendance up in Ballybofey last night. Would say no more than 300 with ~100 Shels fans.
I was sitting beside those away fans in our section. There was 8. Please dont exaggerate the kids bit either the figure you mentioned is not true.Quote:

Around 2,000 in the showgrounds.
I'd say 400 derry fans.
You're laughing at their amount of fans when yourselves bring about 30 to Tolka? :rolleyes:Quote:

Im not botherd wether they had 5 or 500 at the match just respect to those who traveled and put right to an inflated claim. Its no big deal.
The reason that not many Fingal fans go to tolka is that they dont want to pay €15 to a club who still think they are big time.
Calm down shels, its only light banter.
Ok that number the free list then. On health and safety grounds every kid that is invited to a game is allowed bring in an adult to supervise them even in Cup games when the gate is shared.Quote:

Look forward to seeing the travelling fans in "The Woollen" next Saturday
Of course it is:DQuote:

No sour grapes never expected us to win didnt even have a bet on us this week after having three very large bets the 3 previous games against Shels, UCD and Monaghan.Quote:
