They got a five figure flat fee, and they could sell merchandise

Tom said in last nights Evening Echo that there was 1 6 figure sum involved .

I hope that Caughlin is telling the truth for once. (16 figure sum would be impressive alright

30 k had been mentioned to me by some Hoops six weeks ago when the capacity was going to be 7,000. Presumably they negotiated a higher fee with the higher capacity?

What would those Finnish know about it

100K and whatever merchandise they could sell seems to be the figure I've heard most for Rovers. I don't think any amount of money could have bought them the amount of positive press they've gotten from this, it was a really special day for Tallaght, a place that's had more than it's fair share of bad press, from what I've heard the whole area looked very well and came across well on Sky.

**Dodge** · 21/07/2009, 9:56 AM

100k is laughable. 30k is about right

Extratime.ie say only 250 est. at the Drogs game. I know its only Dundee Utd but you would expect a few more than that.

**pineapple stu** · 21/07/2009, 10:59 AM

Not really. Although United probably brought 150. E15 (I assume; I think FAI ticket prices hold for friendlies too) is probably a bit steep for a game like that. I'd be happy if we got 250 tonight.

Whats the point in playing a friendly game like that so. If youre not making a whole lot finacially on the game, is worth risking injuries to some first team players?

1) Make whatever few pennies you can
2) Give some players a run out
3) Build up relations with other teams

Players are as likely to get injured in training as they are friendlies

There would have been a lot more at it i would reckon if it was'nt for the hype of Ronaldo and Co playing down in tallaght.

300 was the estimate for DUFC v DUFC on the DUFC forum. 50 Scotch fans it seems.

**Dunny** · 21/07/2009, 7:41 PM

Ards 1-4 Dundalk at HT.

Personal observation no doubt.

What was your estimate?

**pineapple stu** · 22/07/2009, 8:40 AM

UCD 0-2 Dundee United. Enjoyable game; their keeper made three quality saves, and they scored with the last kick, annoyingly enough. Could easily have picked up a draw, but we had to be nice to them after beating them last year. We had a couple of trialists who did OK, and made nine subs in all. About 200 at it. They didn't bring on Danny Cadamarteri.

That was actually on the news last night. I was surprised.
