Let's correct a few things there shall we?Originally Posted by GUFCforlife
You chose to play us on a Saturday night, in order not to clash with egg-chasing the night before. You got a crowd, of which a huge amount of our fans went down for, taking the opportunity of a Saturday night game.
Your attendances never recovered until late that season, Every other game bar one, you played on Fridays saw no significant increase in attendances, even after you reduced your ticket prices. It was not the night that was the problem, it was the attitude of the Galway football public, who only came out to watch them in numbers, when they had a decent chance of beating the drop.
I have no sympathy tbh. Football v pinky = football win. It's 2 hours of your time every week. Football is permanent, pinkys have to understand that.Originally Posted by youths4ever

Calm Down! Leave us to worry about what night and what time we play our games. We realise that some people only support us when we go on a run, which I don't like either. But if you remember back to the previous season even when we were struggling at the bottom we were getting crowds of 1500-3000. We finished 8th but still had the 3rd highest attendance in the league. Not bad was it. Rovers were challenging for Europe but their crowds still weren't as big as ours. So don't start giving us lectures of fans attitudes towards their own teams
If our circumstances were like other clubs at the time, we'd be sold out every week.Originally Posted by GUFCforlife
