Nowadays nobody would. However when Derry were getting 10,000 to the Brandywell, they were in the First Division. Admittedly this was 1985/87 .Quote:

So Harps and Galway supporters are lying. The funny thing about Sligo Rovers is your need to artifically boost attendances. If there are 150 people in Terryland Park for a game, then I will estimate the attendance at 150, not some ridiculous figure to boost my flagging self-confidence.
Sligo's "official" attendances are taken from their website and are always "2000" or "1500". Surely not official attendances by the standards of normal clubs. In fairness, they seem to be getting bigger attendances than last season, but anyone watching TV3 can see that the "official" figures are incorrect.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Sligo educational system.
What the fcuk has this talk about Sligo's crowds got to do with the title of this thread? Stick to the bloody subject or discuss this elsewhere, please!
Tp get anyone to do it is suberb but basically you got 100 people to sign up, and I doubt that any of the Dub clubs wouldn't have got that many to sign up to save our respective clubs. Nothing wrong with the Rovers fans but the way some are going on its like they've a HUGE hardcore all saving their club together. 100 fans are, and fair play to them, but any decent sized club could get that...Quote:

It is only paperwork and it should be about the football :ball:
Above all else, the Licencing Committee were in full possession of the facts when they granted the Licence. It was only when the 400 Club made the FAI aware of the errors in the book-keeping that they begun to decide to take action. They are administering punishment to a club that is now being run by the very people who are doing more than the FAI ever will to rectify the kind of shoddy management that has always existed throughout this league. Also, the decision to dock 8 points (why not 7, why not 9, why 50) was based purely on the number of points that Rovers have accumulated to date - they made their decision during the Pats game, at which time we were losing 1-0. What if we had just 2 or 3 points on the board, what if we had 20? Btw, I can only laugh at the "high-and-mighty, serves them right" attitude of some people. Scratch the surface at any club and you'll find enough to throw them out of the league if you scruntinise the rule-book. How is it that not one club was granted a Licence at first, but on appeal EVERYONE got one?

PATS got 100 plus to sign up for its closest equivilent - 5 year tickets (incidentally theres people at pats who bought life memberships for 250 squid when we were on the verge of winding up!!
now thats value!
The life tickets were £1,000 old money. Saved our club back in 1992...Quote:

It was limited to 250 and fully subsribed (not at first though). Myself I couldn't do it as I didn't want to donate more money to club at the time...
I'm saying in a life or death situation Cork, Bohs, Pats, Derry and maybe one or two others could easily raise €250,000 in a week from their fans...
After 4/5 goes already I'd hope so :cool:Quote:

TBH, I'd say you could be hard pushed in Cork, unless one or two big donations come in.....:(Quote:
