2009 attendances

**RonnieB** · 06/07/2009, 9:32 AM

As we have cut our outgoings to a minimum. Simple really. Keep eroding the outstanding crippling debt and keep things going on the pitch. If we can survive the next season or two then things will ease a lot.

Yes I know, but at least you could afford to put batteries in the electronic substitute board and clean the place up a bit. There was bird sh1t all over the seats.

One or two said that but its difficult for some to guess because Pats fans were spraed out and Rovers were in the shed. We'll get official figures soon (including away tickets sold)

My own guess would be that the crowd was a way down on that 2,800 figure. The shed holds less than 1,000 when full too...

Is the substitute board not for the match officials to sort? Genuine question btw I don't know.

There's always massively oversized boards in Kildare, so I assume from that that it's a club responsibility. Or else the league are playing an ongoing joke on Kildare.

We should be able to sit where we please in the away section which offers the best view and not run the gauntlet of mounting piles of bird sh1t. It doesnt cost too much to brush the steps, ground and wipe the seats with a cloth. I couldnt sit in my seat it was that bad. Its not too much to ask for a clean sit now is it.

Priceless

what you said was pretty libellous. It reverberated around the ground like a colossal fart.

People were dumbstruck

How do they keep going on paltry attendances like that?

I would have said their was more than 200 there. (300-400!) In case you haven't noticed,we're second last in the table! Waterford are up near the top and have a much bigger catchment area and they get wonderful crowds of... 500ish... WOW

The away section is in the terrace. Who wants to sit at an away football match? And in case you haven't noticed, the stand is pretty big, there was plenty of other seats around, considering ye brought nearly no one to the game and your challenging for the title!

if away section in terrace then why sign in the right side of main stand saying away section (not the point anyway). When was the last time you where in the main stand as most of it covered in bird sh1t hard enough if you wish to sit to find a good few seats together. Dont get me wrong I like Flancare Park but the seats in main stand do need a clean.

There rarely is anyone on the other sides of the ground as behind the goals on one side is the carpark, and there is no cover on the other sides either so it is usually just the one side.

As for the stand, it wasnt full but it wasnt far from it. I would say closer to 550 in it and then there were quite a few up at clubhouse end and along the walls.

**Ronnie** · 06/07/2009, 11:59 AM

From starting with 200 to now 550, looks like the best crowd of the season so far and growing!

Well it might does have a sign there actually

but there is an away supporters entrance and barriers up for segregation in the terrace, but due to everyone complainig they probably just let people in the stand now except for teams with proper away support! Yes, they do, but theirs a hell of a lot that don't either!

Go back and read a few posts back and you might just see you are wrong.

Anyways, dont think Ronnie's post was about Monaghan United.

It is up to the club to make sure the electronic board they have is charged and in working order
