2012 First Division structure?

[Jofspring]

And this from a Limerick fan....

Ya and your point is?

He was just pointing out that very few games will get you ten grand.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

My point is that any team in the first division where no one gets over 1k a game, and
more get less then half that (probably including Limerick), shouldn't be laughing at the crowds that Harps get.

Also the harps fan never said they would get 10k per game. He said 1-2 games could mean 5-10k

But where is he laughing at Harps crowds? Whats him being a Limerick fan got to do with the point he was trying to make?

All he is saying is where barr big games against the likes of Derry would most teams pull in 10 grand a game which is a fair enough point.

Most teams this year in the first division will be doing well to have 500-600 people at games, including ourselves.

Not often you'll see a Sligo fan stick up for a Harps fan.

Seriously though, what you say is correct. It's not only attendance but as Mr.A said, it's match day income as a whole. Be it a few shirts sold, half time draw, soup and tea, or anything. One home match can mean a lot to a club financially.

Who's laughing? The only person here having a cut at another club's crowds is you in the part I've marked in your post.

I was just pointing out that he was overestimating (fairly drastically) the "benefits" of playing two extra games.

Hope that relaxes you a small bit x x.

I don't think there was any drastic over-estimation at all.

[Lim till i die]

Say you get an extra home game.

Well that means an extra away game aswell.

Say you get SD Galway as your extra home game.

You make two and a half grand tops.

Say you get Waterford as your extra away game.

Probably gonna cost you around twelve to fifteen hundred quid.

[nigel-harps1954]

Not gonna argue costs, but going by your own judgements, something as little as 1000 quid could mean everyone getting their weeks wages or the electricity bills being paid.

[Lim till i die]

I didn't even take the extra weeks wages into account actually.

[nigel-harps1954]

Sweet jesus....you don't give in do you.

[Lim till i die]

It just dawned on me when you mentioned wages is all.

Scary business, this league of ireland.

Salthill devon have an EGM next Sunday as they need to amend their Constitution so they can change their name and colours.

Interesting to see what happens if they vote no to proposed changes

STD Galway will bend their rules to suit just as the FAI(L) do to suit themselves. Cant wait for the car crash that'll be STD Galway/ Galway United or whatever the feck they call themselves after a few seasons on the bottom of the new 16 team first division. The politics of Abbotstown is no different than what goes on in the Dáil.

its just a cosmetic exercise according to the chairman of the league who is a member there. So they will be only changing the name the day after their opening game Confused.com. There is a lot of former GUFC high flyers and strongly linked people with the fai on their committee too.

I dont think Terryland has a stadium cert either

[Guitd]

and according to our great league licencing policy according to a letter sent to Tarlee the reason that they could not be considered was because "OF GALWAY UNITED FC WITHDRAWING THEIR LICENCE APPLICATION AND THE SUITATION IN GAL;WAY" OMG !!!!! what a cop out

[gufct]

No engineers inspection done or paid for by sdg for their new ground although every other club had to fork out €1,900 approx as it is part of licensing .

The chairman is a sdfc member we wont have to pay im sure, it has to be done this week

Whats the story, are you supporting Salthill Devon Galway now? Going by your last few comments referring to SD Galway.

I thought you said you'd never be seen supporting another team in Terryland?

well they are the facts, it may not be up to your standards but we do what we can up here, and will continue to try. Enjoy your trip to Terryland, and Fahys, i might see you in Fahys but no way in terryland

Great Result, sd GALWAY UTD

Its all worked perfectly, now just wait for Galway to kicks limerick smug ass when yee come to fortress Terryland

like barings bank at the end all smoke and mirrors. But when you attend Terryland spot the difference if you can. Its fantastic to be in the mix though cant wait till next week when it starts SD Galway Utd in Terryland

we should be able to tag on the United and drop the SD next season id say.

handy way of avoiding the debt, same togs, same shirt,same sponsors, same directors, same former committee, same players, same former management team, same ground rent free courtesy of the governing body and an indoor dome in drom to boot.. excellent result

While some of your comments seem a bit tongue in cheek it's still very confusing where you currently stand.

[Tir Oilean]

I assure you there is no die hard GUFC fan that would support this team.
