    I was talking about the last 40 years not, but you are right a couple of hundred came a couple of seasons.

    Give it a rest dear boy. First you said Harps fans outnumbered Sligo fans in their home patch. Now you say 200 Harps fans travelled into Connaught...never has there been such a ****-poor figure re home attendance -- even in the bleakiest of times.

    Its all a little tiresome. Looking forward to Harps getting back to its 1970s glory days and big attendances, don't worry with Bundie and Ballyshanny by-passed you'd get a good turnout.

    I'm slowly starting to sympathise with Shamrock Rovers fans over Sligo fans.

    This is a good sign
    The Model Club

    Tell all the Bohs you know
    that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
    and it's not gonna be three
    and it's not gonna be four
    it's more likely to be 5-1.

    Indeed, when you have contradicted yourself then you throw out that card.
    Im still waiting for all these other Harps fans to come on and back up your raveings, or even a single video or article or photograph to validate your arguement that Harps fans outnumbered the home support in the Showgies on a regular basis, I remember Harps bringing some large crowds back then but not once did they outnumber the home support.

    I've had your number a while a go, your non-stop anti-Sligo bile is completely apparent from any of your posts.

    Equally, obvious is your mindset, being just like your county's GAA style, boring, repetitive and slowly congesting to the point of constipation.

    Looking forward to that much vaunted big redevelopment of Finn Park to cater for the swelling legions of Finn Harps fans. LOL

    Not true. Armagh in fact holds that distinction, believe it or not.

    I could say the same to you. No unfortunately I cannot give you a video, I can't find any videos from Showgrounds from the time I was talking about.

    Really, I have no idea what you're talking about. `
    Oh, and we're not redeveloping Finn Park.

    I'm fed up with this petty argument, no it's not me backing down, I still know what I said is perfectly true. Yes I love winding up Sligo fans, as does everyone I believe.

    And for the record. I couldn't care less if Donegal were the most boring side in the history of the GAA or not.

    Off thread somewhat, but what's happening at the new Finn Park?

    There will be I hear 6,800 max capacity...there will be a definite sell-out of Donegal fans...ready for when wee Daniel will have a mo-fo of a final farewell gig when it eventually opens...Blue Moon there's a kettle on the boil...LOL

    The difference being that there are numerous posters here confirming what I am saying and not one, NOT ONE confirming your raveings.
    Its not so much winding us up as just making an absolute clown of yourself.
