I would say maybe 2300 at Dalymount. On the Jodi was open.
Pete , what were you on? About 1800 I`d say. Good crowd of Corkies, sang their team off the field, they dont deserve you. Most spinelesss performance by a Cork team in Dalymount .......ever
They do, they have been outstanding since all this crap started months ago. They won the Setanta cup on 30% of their wages, they attended meetings, fundrasiers and did everything they could to help out.Quote:

It was an awful performance but they were quite simply wrecked. Some of them were in tears afterwards apologising for the performance.
Most of them were playing knowing they were unemployed at 9.30 and not knowing where the next paycheck was coming from.
They got the response they deserved for the season they put in, despite the performance that night.
Legends.

Fair enough, hope it works out for them and the club.
From our chairman in today's press
"Our average attendance figure for the year was roughly 2,000 supporters. People talked about crowds of 3,500 and 4,000 fans attending Brandywell Stadium, that did not happen once last season," he insisted"
So foot.ie has the average at 3,363 and the Derry chairman states that they didn't get one crowd over 3,500?
Thats remarkably consistent crowds by Derry... ;)
Whats your take on that quote? Is he still only referring to the paying customers and not season tickets?Quote:

Sounds like he is trying to do a job on the VAT from the turnstiles.. ;)
Sshhhhhhh :DQuote:

Why are you paying less VAT on gate?!Quote:

We had over 1,600 season ticket for last season so the figures do add up apart from the Harps and Linfield games.
The UK cut their VAT rate.Quote:

Bad news is that that VAT rate will go back-up again shortly to even higher than 17.5%....Quote:

Thanks for that.
Derrys looks a bit high for their lowest, also Mons low could well be a european record.
We know all about Derry's figures.
In fairness, other European countries, especially at lower levels, get poor crowds. Look at the Estonian league, for example.
Derry's attendance against Harps was around that figure and I would not be surprised if it was bigger. It was easily as big as the crowd that we had against Cork for the league decided two years ago.Quote:

He talked about your "lowest" figure

Surely the point is that we don't?Quote:

When did Kildare get over 1,000?
The night we won the FD AFAIK.Quote:
