I can't believe we got more for the Derry and Bohs game Don't think that attendance will do much good financially

Why??

[Blue-Army]

Why??

I would have expected Roy Keane to have drawn a far bigger crowd! And with it likely to be one of Cork City's last ever games, I'm surprised there wasn't more there!!!

We had 4,000 for the Ipswich game on Friday! We usually get 500.

How much were the tickets?

Guessing tickets were on average €12 per head then there would have been €39,000 roughly made from the gate alone, the programme adds and sales could have made around €10,000 if done anywhere near right (no we didn't do it anywhere near right up here) so that's an income of nearly €50,000.
If ye got the same deal as we did then the money made from the game would be pretty decent tbh.

[Umberside]

Why??

We need to raise 400k by this time next week. There were three places where the 400k was to be found:

:Friendly v Ipswich
:Sale of Colin Healy
:Sale of Denis Behan

It was reported that Behan & Healy were off to Hartlepool for just 50k. Is this true does anybody know?

Id have thought the same but our games against Derry and Bohs were top of the table clashes with something at stake, obviously these games are going to attract more than some mediocre English side.

We could've and were hoping to make double that but still yeah the money's alright.

The attendance was doen because of the prices, 25 adult 15 juvenile 10 child

terrible attendance. yes ok keano has been there a few times in recent years but with the club needing the cash so much now i would have thought it would have been a seel out.

[Mr A]

Because of crisis fatigue, high prices and the fact it's only Ipswich bloody Town it's hardly surprising it wasn't a sell out.

I think it's pretty decent.

Taking those prices into account you could probably up the average ticket price to about €18 per head leaving gate receipts at around €58,000, it all adds up.

oh ya decent if the club wasnt on the brink of folding. given the fact that they nees 400 grand very soon id hardly call that decent.

[Mr A]

Yeah, but when you've been on the brink of folding on and off for a year the sense of urgency isn't going to stay quite the same is it? Especially when even if they survive this time it seem inevitable that the next crisis won't be too far away. You can only cry wolf so many times before it loses its effect.

Be realistic. most people in Cork dont care about City.

And no one will sell 7000 tickets for a game thats too expensive against a **** championship team just because Keane's involved.

waterford got a bigger crowd for ipswich then cork
