About 100 at Station Road tonite, about 60 from Waterford.
How the hell are Kildare still going. FFS I played Munster Junior Rugby and there were bigger crowds at that.

I've heard of shoe-string budgets but thats taking the ****. I'd doubt they even took in 1k last night. How much do the County players get a week? Petrol money?Quote:

I'm not saying its a bad thing. However a club is suposed to have ambitions to progress, build, move on etc.. Kildare seem to be content to be stuck in perpetual mediocrity. Eventually someone inside the club is going to say 'to hell with it' and pack it up. Look at what happened to Kilkenny, they continued as along as they possibily could before reality caught up with them.Quote:

Newbridge Town FC own the ground so it would be their decision to make I would guess.Quote:

Seen Harps have a good attendance record this season, wonder what the crowd for the Sligo Rovers game was giving for in Ballybofey? Is this giving as official?
Athlone Town vs Wexford Youths official attendance 342
Cuz that's really works in places like Gretna..... :rolleyes:Quote:

Not a hope! It was half-full! There were swathes of empty rows.Quote:

Nope you build them by adding Linfield and hoping everything will be OK.Quote:

I'll try get hold of the official figure anyways.
Cobh v sligo, I would guess about 750 max.
500 at Dundalk v Limerick per the Dundalk site.
Swopping Linfied for UCD would certainly make the Eircom League more sustainable anyway......! :DQuote:
