I am reliably informed that Salthill Devon had a recent home league attendance of 58. How can they survive on gates like that?

I'd even doubt that was the worst this year.

A Squad of Amateurs is still going to cost you around a grand a week in fairness before you add in travel costs, manager, coaches, physio, blah, blah, blah.
Need someone with a few quid backing you basically.
I don't think anyone says that- any GUFC fans I've seen comment on the issue have said otherwise.
In Salthill's case- they have a massive facility and their astro pitches make them a fortune. They can probably afford the LOI better than most. But is it really doing anything for them as a club is the question.
#NeverStopNotGivingUp
I remember reporting on a Dublin City v UCD game when both were in the Premier. It was a home game for Dublin City played in Dalymount. There were 41 people in the Jodi (the other 3 sides were closed). This number included several players who were out injured watching the game, Stuart Malcolm was one, as well as a few girls who sold programmes and raffle tickets.
I was at that game. I remember the row over the crowd here afterwards. Pineapple Stu (I think) found a photograph of the stand which showed more than twice that number of people. It seems silly to argue over such small numbers, but if we're going to have a contest for smallest crowd, that wasn't it.
You can't spell failure without FAI
I remember all the comments here at the time. I never used the figure in my reports of that game. Anyway we should be thinking of ways to attract more new fans and not arguing over what the lowest was.
