Ya agree how did they even make the final they were shocking !!!Originally Posted by FootballMad
Congrats to Avondale utd on a fantastic achievement winning four in a row, to lose two players to injury before half time and still be convincing winners just shows how good a team they really are.
Congrats to all at Avondale, fair play to John Ryan, took on a huge job and to be fair the has delivered.
AAny estimate on the attendance at the Cross today?
I second that , fair play to the man !!
i must say the surface out in turners cross looking unreal fair play to them out there for the keep up of the pitch
Seems to me like you kinda called this a bit wrong moonman

hard to say as alost everyone was in the same stand as me, but I'd say between 5 and 700. Decent enough crowd.
Evening Echo gave the gate receipts as €3,400.
It was €10 and €5 in.

I wasn't there Donie but I thought it a bit strange that they gave a monetary sum and not an attendance figure.
I do know that the Avondale underage players were subsidised by the club and there were comps about for this also.

Well done to Avondale, fabulous achievement. Now for the 5 in a row !
They had no tickets or scanning facilities, just cash at the turnstile. Just gave out a rounded off cash figure in the end, I guess.
Hard to tell how many in the stand when you're in it yourself (!), but would estimate an attendance of 800-1,000, including any subsidized kids and comps. Hardly anyone in the other three stands, which were closed off at KO, but later very, very thinly populated.
Enjoyed the game; could have been an absolute cracker had UCD a decent striker or two. They had 3 or 4 lads very good on the ball, to be fair.
Impressive stuff from Avondale: 30 games unbeaten since losing the 2010 Final. No goals conceded in their seven games this season.

As I said fair play to JR , rode there luck in the quarter final, had a hard fought win in the semis and won a handy final !! Footballs a funny old game and dales experience defo helped in the latter stages !!!
Ucd where shocking in the final. How in hell did they even reach the final they were pretty poor lads
was there myself and to be fair dale just played better and wanted it more. No bad team gets to a final.

Good highlights. Did UCD even cross the half way line? Some outfit Avondale are. Fair play John Ryan and all his troops, a superb achievement.
The above is all opinion and based on personal experience. Unless stated otherwise it is not a dig at anybody, well probably none of you lot.
