There's a big difference between it being handy to keep a bit of your gate in cash for some clubs, versus being clobbered for 17.5% of your gate revenue in tax for each and every game.
One involves choice - not all clubs do it, those that do will do it to varying extents at varying times, and I doubt many have the nerve or the stupidity to under-state their crowds by as much as 17.5% each and every week.
P.S. What 5,000 crowd ??

Yeah....except Tolka.I call it the "Super Hoop" effect. This phenomenon follows us most places...
No there's not. PAYE is 41%; saving that's an incentive for some clubs, whereas you said no other club in the league had incentive to not publish their gates, which is clearly nonsense.
5000 is just a made up figure to illustrate a point.
nice!

379 given on the Fingal website. Stand must of been less than 3/4's full.
2800 at SPA V City according to todays star.
I would have guessed 2,150 from watcting it on tele.

Kildare County V Monaghan United: 146
Everyone needs something to believe in, I believe I'll have another beer.

nonsense ! DUFC have brought excellent crowds to rovers in tolka .
I would have guessed 2500 on assumption that main stand holds 2000.
54,321 confirmed attendance...
i stand corrected.
in the last 2 years drogs have indeed brought good crowds with them.
one question tho . if you dont retain the league,will they still turn up next season ndrog ? forgive my pessimism but alls not well in hoopland at present*

True! We bring among the best away crowds in the league yet our home attendence has been slowly declining over the past decade...
no one brings huge crowds to the brandywell - ever.
Yet we have the best attendences in the league . .

Nobody bar maybe yourselves bring away fans to our games, and a lot less than clubs would bring to ye, same with Derry. Whats your point?
It's spelled b-o-y. Oh and I'm female.
Good lad.
No you don't; Cork do.
Although any club which doesn't supply official figures can't claim any placing in the attendance league.
