Dress this up anyway you want,but this is pathetic! And certaintly not an unattractive fixture.Would be interested to hear how many Lims fans traveled for this?

At a guess , between 20-30.

**Lim till i die** · 29/08/2010, 1:46 PM

About 30 alright.

First game all season that there wasn't a bus ran to, very little interest in the cup with our league form going well.

Why would Shamrock Rovers fans be in Ballybofey for Finn Harps v Sligo Rovers?

Less than a quarter of their league average. Did none of the usual freebies bother to pay in?

**JC_GUFC** · 29/08/2010, 10:43 PM

562 at Galway United v Salthill

That still holds true

I still hold that all you need to watch a football match in comfort is a seat and a roof. Decent toilets and food are a benefit. Everything else is just an excuse. The people who make the excuse that the paint is peeling, or something similar, would find a different gripe once that had been fixed.

**pineapple stu** · 30/08/2010, 4:46 PM

Media and promotion stuff split.

**Lim till i die** · 30/08/2010, 11:48 PM

Great crowd at Limerick v Fingal tonight for a great cup tie.

635 for a Monday night with zero advertising.

Wry smile at the cup holders earning twice as much off us as we did off them!!

**The Lep** · 31/08/2010, 12:21 AM

635? I know it was a decent crowd for a monday night but wouldnt have thought it was that much as i was guessing about half that but it was hard to judge from the grassy knoll.

**Lim till i die** · 31/08/2010, 12:34 AM

EXACTLY 635

Why would we lie about the crowd being bigger than it was, we have to give away 60% of the gate

**The Lep** · 31/08/2010, 12:43 AM

I know that, im not doubting the attendance nor suggesting that they lied.

Are you sure its 60% ? I thought it was around 30%. 60% seems a bit high.

**Lim till i die** · 31/08/2010, 1:07 AM

I think (open to correction) it goes 40 to Limerick, 40 to Fingal, 20 to the FAI.

**Mr A** · 31/08/2010, 9:07 AM

I think the split is 65-35 after expenses. Not sure what level the expenses usually are. I think it's different for the semis and final.

**Dodge** · 31/08/2010, 9:10 AM

Nah, its the 40/40/20 split (which means after expenses an away club makes more off the gate)

**The Lep** · 31/08/2010, 6:07 PM

Just hope then there is a good turnount in the next round

Is the split not done after expenses have been deducted though ?

Biggest traveling support for a Galway United away game this season so far. About 250 'travelled' to Drom Soccer Park in a crowd of about 400 for the FAI Cup replay

No official attendance was announced on the PA.
