You've gotta be joking. Do you seriously expect us to believe that Salthill don't charge?Quote:

Do what I say but don't do what i do, comes to mind.
When we go down on the supporters bus they stop us on the way in make us get off and pay and walk up to the ground it's a ridiculous set up (especially when your bursting for a p1ss and your told ya have to walk up a hill to get to the ground haha)Quote:

12k sounds about right for players and coaching etc budget.Quote:
In case of any misunderstanding on the €12k weekly figure, this is not the "Player budget" or even the "Player & Coaching budget" but the total weekly cost to run the club including electricity, pitch maintenance etc.
Presumably player and coaching costs don't exceed 65% of this figure!!!!!!!!!!
65% of that would be 7800 and im not buying that for a second!
Poor crowd in Sligo but theyre an odd kind of a team to watch, absolutely dripping with quality but they seem to have had the flair knocked out of them.
Impatient crowd aswell (possibly as a result of the flair deficit?) any kind of misplaced ball and the howling starts.
23 definitely isnt the lowest loi crowd ever either, people are quick to forget Kilkenny and Monaghan.
There were 3 of us supporting Derry in the main stand as well, so that makes it 15. Got down a bit late and had to do a lap of the ground to get in as the St Annes end gate was shut so we'd have been counted as Cork folk, until we opened our mouths that is, mind you there wasn't much to raise our voices for.Quote:

I've always paid into the Drom, there's always been two guys charging as you drive in towards the clubhouse and handing out tickets (they could just be enterprising locals I suppose). Are you sure you're not sneaking in over the moors? :)Quote:

Anytime I've been to Drom we have been charged at the gate then parked the car inside.
There is obviously a special dispensation for the Donegal Folk:rolleyes:Quote:

Any official attendance from HD Park last night? Looked very, very small to me.
Woeful crowd.
Only 1,014 turn up in Limerick to see the prospective media crowned Champions???
2.652 at Tallaght Stadium for Shamrock Rovers v Cork City according to Extratime.ie
How many freebie tickets were included in this?Quote:

Some I reckon would be less than ten. For the record Chesterfield beat Accrington Stanley 1.0 and Doyle was a 70th minute substitute.
No official attendance given for town match tonight but id guess 200. local gaa, bad weather and poor results/football all added up. around 10 harps fans down
2,946 corrected as Shamrock Rovers v Cork attendance per extratime.
No Harps fans in Longford because we've absolutely jack all to play for in the League and are now down to 3rd from bottom with Wexford beating Salthill.
Definitely a good point, I been tracking Dundalk's crowds for a good number of years now, and for the those awful 7 years we spent in the FD last time, a lot of the away support was often zero. It really was only noticeable as we began to challenge, our crowds increased, then during games when we when conceded a goal, you could hear a pin drop.Quote:

The Limerick crowds are vanishing at this point, with the team having nothing to play for.Quote:

I'd be very surprised if there was over 1,000 at our game last night, looked like at most 250 Limerick fans.
3,324 at the louth derby, great crowd
@DundalkFC: Official attendance 3,324
That's terrific. How does that compare to the attendance in round one? I vaguely remember it being disappointing, especially from the Drogs end.
That was about 2,200, which wasn't bad but Drogheda are not really traveling in great numbers this season.Quote:

Are UCD more or less safe now? Unless they lose all their games, it will take a lot of effort to cede 6 points to Shels and 5 to Bray. Bohs I think will be fine because they have the players to win matches.
i have to say that in my heart of hearts that there was close to 4k in OP tonight.
There should be no reason why the figure given is incorrect. Granted they got one wrong this season, the second Rovers game, but that has been explained, was an admin error from the ticket office. There will be the usual non paying in groups, and this will get bigger the bigger the game is, for eg they are hardly going to ask Liam Buckley to pay in, or his colleague who were there tonight. Media, sponsors, paid and unpaid workers all add up, but the club will only announce the number that paid in, and this is common practice.
EDIT, I am hearing cash was taken on one of the stiles just before kick off, possibly to ease congestion, not sure if these numbers were added to the tickets that were sold/scanned, but we have to go with the figure they reported and assume these were added to the total of 3,324.
There was a huge queue to get in just before kick off and the big gate to the side of the stand was opened and cash taken. I doubt that was factored in to the attendance really so there could have been a lot more there than was reported. There are also quite a few people who get in without paying for various reasons and a lot of the time they aren't issued any ticket. I would guess there were at least 3 or 400 more than was reported.Quote:

Stand full, Shed beyond the covered areas filled, 5 min terrace busy, and the first time in years that there were numbers standing behind the Town End goal, good travelling support; it is hard not to think that attendence wasnt pushing closer to 4k - no argument with official figure, Oriel is just hard to gauge support wise?Quote:

Also the figure for media, sponsors, guests, paid and unpaid workers would prob be around 200, these are quite rightly not included as they dont pay in, so poss 3,500 but 3,364 would be the figure to record. Remember the stand has reduced seating now of 1,000, I was at the top, most but not every seat was taken, but you're right about the Shed, I've never seen this new version Shed so full, it was lenght to lenght filled. The '5 mins' terrace is a local nickname to the new uncovered seating area, to the right of the stand as you would see from TV or from the Shed. This looked well full also, and good point about behind the town goal, thats not an area that is usually 'busy'
Dundalk's total attendances are just under 30k now for the year to date (28,292) and to compare this to last year, it is almost double with 3 home games still to play. Last seasons total was 15,200.
There's an upper terrace too, I'd say you missed that.Quote:
