    Friday's crowd a good litmus test

    Friday night will tell a lot.

    If the night is fine we should get a good idea of how much support we have really gained as a result of our European exploits.

    Baring in mind who we are playing I reckon only true City fans ( and those converted by Nantes, Malmo etc ) will turn up.

    Expect plenty of gaps in the Shed

    BTW - anyone notice how many of the Season Ticket seats were empty in the D Forde stand on Saturday. They can't all have been on holidays!

    Strange one that. Why buy a season ticket and not go?

    You don't have to sit in your designated seat just cause you have a season ticket, you can go anywhere you like in the ground.

    I don't think crowd will be as bad as people think on friday. Few distractions on a friday evening although people may be looking for excuse of rain or whatever...

    Some of the people who would to quite a few games would not bother with Dublin City, never mind those recruited by the European buzz.

    How'd they manage to get tickets for €5 cheaper than the 63000 others who were there????

    I won't be at this game on Friday, have to save my days off from work for games towards the end of the season

    Didn't realise they were gone that high.
    Makes me appreciate even more the value of €10 at da Cross.

    some people want to support the club but can't go to every game, at least this way your showing your support with a season ticket.

    hope the european run did a bit of good crowd wise, if even yee an egotistical shower
    Ignore Max Power, he is no more, the future is Ron Burgundy. I'd love to be Ron Burgundy but they won't let me........

    I presume you are referring to the disgrace that so few supporters turned up to see a good open game of football. Only the result was wrong. Everything else about City's performance tonight was positive. The heads never fell and up to the last seconds they were pushing for a result.
