Recent games missing -
Fingal v Kildare
Pat's v Bray
St. Petersburg home to Zenit, play in the Petrovsky stadium. It has a capacity of just over 21,000. Generally the matches didn't sell out. St.Petersburg has a population of over 4 million and Zenit are the only team in the city playing in the top tier of Russian football.
Face it, the EL with Ireland's population hasn't got a chance, unless they did something stupid like having franchises.
Today with Zenit's success and massive investment the crowds have flocked and they are building a 60,000 capacity stadium. So get some rich tycoons into the league and it will succeed.

Even if you add up all the attendances of Dublin teams, it's still terrible. I mean, what difference is UCD's '545' going to make?Quote:

Not surprising for a Cup replay against Monaghan on a Tuesday in the middle of the Euros.
Hmm, I'd thought a little more, but I suppose the wet seats and threat of rain had everyone under the roof.
I blame Monaghan. They only brought six fans. That's disgraceful. A club that small has no place in the league. They're holding the rest of us back. They should be kicked out forthwith.
Let's not forget that they beat us. The league could do without clubs who can beat us.
there was no match on tuesday that is a shocking crowd for any club.
A certain Armagh City fan beside me estimated 150.
I dunno if this has been done before but i've just worked out the percentage of people going to games here if we take these attendance figures as gospel. Lets say 30,000 people attend games and there are 4 million people in Ireland. Thats 0.75% of the country's population that actually attend games here :eek:Quote:

12 of my extended family are heading to the League Cup QFinal next Tuesday. Does that mean we can occupy the Home end???
992 at Tolka tonight.
About 800 at Finn park.
