That's true, a good few UCD bailed out before the end. Over six hundred at the game, unofficial count in the second half.Quote:

No it wasn't. Less than half full in the two blocks down the far end where I was. And also, I'd be curious as to when Harpo made his unofficial count.Quote:

There was also 30 to 40 down at the railings and to the side. I know my stadium at this point and i can tell within reason what size the crowd was. I know what 400 looks like in morton and that wasnt 400.Quote:

He didn't say you were wumming. He said that your dismissal of the point as wumming didn't constitute an intelligent debate. Learn to read.Quote:

Now it is more than likely that you will still post the same things in the coming weeks regarding our attendances so please copy this for future reading before you post the same nonsense again.
Its priceless , ucd fans arguing about the crowd size :D
Whats posted on here is the official attendance figures by us and not guesstimates like some others.
Whatever UCD fans was there were very quiet i must say.
Next time lads, come over and say hello.
Edited it.Quote:

Yes it was. Do you see what you get me into:DQuote:

From what i have been told we dont count stubs we use clickers. please dont come back in saying thats not true because i have had this debate before and i wont have it again.
Edit
Yeah really love how we are targeted about our attendances but the thread uses fans guesstimates. I know most of the fans try to give an honest guess but accurate it aint and would probably air on the side of more fans than less.
That is one of the most stupid, over the top statements I ever read - true genius ! the idea of Nutsey, Mickey boy and all in the Prem living in fear of Sporting franchise is pure classic (even the use of "hate"- brilliant stuff):)Quote:

We must have been deafened by the noise coming from the other end. :rolleyes:Quote:

I did mention it was now edited in my post.
I guess you have never missread a post on here either.
If you had taken the time to read the previous before blazing in to the defense of your chum you might have noticed why there was confusion from both of us in the first place. Plus the comments about learning to read are not warranted which is why i replied with similar.
Everyone, please, stop!
Jesus!
Apologies. Your rightQuote:

Yeah I was thinking could we not do this like the POTM thing where you post attendence figures in one thread and discuss them in another? Its kind of hard to keep track of figures with all the arguing.Quote:

Hate to say it, but you have to wonder what business they have in the league. In their first season when there should be momentum they have no support.
10/10 though for the big laugh at about 44 minutes. "Stewards to half time positions please".
How we laughed.
Incidentally, that figure was by 'manual' count.
Very feckin weird the whole experience of being at a game like that, not like LOI football at all.
+1. Now that the person who keeps track of things is a mod for the LOI forum it shouldn't be a problem.Quote:

We had no choice, it had to happen on the Saturday. Saturday football just doesn't work for us.
Fear of incurring the wrath of fans of the proverbial 'smaller clubs' aside, I would agree with you that it's hard to know/see what Mervue bring to the league.Quote:

What a rubbish derby Mervue vs Galway would be if we ever got one. Both sets of fans in their home ground dressed in maroon and singing for 'United'. United indeed - crazy stuff....
If only we could get Cobh or Kilkenny back....
