I presume then that if Pats and Bohs make it to the final that only 2000 tickets should be made available between the 2 clubs based on their combined quarter final attendanceQuote:

The time had everything to do with it, we were down 1,000 on our average attendance, joke of a time for a game but TBH i couldnt give a toss about the crowd yesterday, I would gladly take an average of 800 for a whole season if it meant we won the cupQuote:

A cup quarter final and that's all you can manage to bring to it? Embarrassing really.
No, not when there is a final the following week that everyone is geared up for. Hard to motivate everyone to make the same journey twice in a week.
True true, but you also showed how quickly those fans can empty a stand in record time at the end. What a great day that was ;)Quote:

Our fans werent the only ones. Seen plenty of Fingal fans outside straight after the game. Heard 2 couples outside talking about how that was an 'enjoyable day out', while inside the cup was being presented - I nearly went over and sparked him out.Quote:

Go way any point your a finger from behind your keyboard at someone else ye bottom feeder.
Maybe 450 in Bray tonight to witness our glorious victory. 50-75ish from Dundalk, although that's open to correction. Pretty pathetic crowd really, even considering the short notice
Especially to Sligo - once is more than enough..Quote:

Most of our lads stayed back after the game gathering up material and stuff. Fingals section was half empty when they were lifting cup maybe 3/4 empty when they were celebrating. Cant of a day, wind, rain, can't really blame anyone for leaving so quickly. For us it was a real bitter pill to swallow and most of your lot had never been to a Fingal game in their puff so they didn't really care that muchQuote:

Imagine how we feel, nearly half of our away games in a season are in Dublins fair sh!ty.Quote:

I was never in a million years gona spark the lad out ffs, not that type of person what so ever. A bad choice of words granted, but it was just meant to show how annoyed I was at time with so called fans that really didnt give a damn.
Amazing how things on this forum are dissected and wee jibs are floated about. Seriously, were at the business end of a season we should have better things to be talking about, I include meself in that one.
As this is an attendence thread:
Sligo Rovers Vs Bohemians Id say about 2200 with a good travelling support from the Bohs fan (250 odd).
A good attendence for a Tuesday evening by both fans, who had 3 games in a week to pay for.
Quick question redobit (I asked a Galway fan this last week), does weather play a factor in attendances in Galway? I remember we always had poorer crowds in Dundalk if it was a dry cold night and strangely more in when it was drizzling (that was a few years ago though).
Hard to say Spud, but I always think the day of a game that if its raining the hour before the game then the crowds are likely to be down. Probably a lot of Will I or Wont I fans that dont like to travel to a game in the rain. Funny enough when they are there they probably couldnt care less cause of the covered areas.
It's strange like that, and it's just human nature, you see it tipping down and just figure, ah well. The last time I went to a game in Sligo (2008) it was a clear evening, chilly and a good crowd out. In that sense I miss winter football, it was always a buzz when it got that little damper and more muddy, though maybe I prefer a lower standard of football!
