    If they were rooted to the bottom of the first division I'd agree but they have the quality to stay where they are on merit so deserve to stay where they are.

    Luckily football is judged on results and not crowds so they're allowed stay where they are

    The fact that UCD can survive comfortably in the Premier Division is an indictment on the teams who can't, not on them

    Completely agree. As I'm sure do many others.

    Because we all know that UCD are the reason that the LOI is in the ****s.

    Moronic.

    Then again, if Limerick didn't equalise that time...

    728 would be a lot closer than 500.

    672 at Pats vs Pats, looked a lot less, 600 probably Pats (Athletic) fans, probably the biggest away following yesterday.

    Kudos to the those away fans then.

    I often find it difficult to estimate the away support in an unfamiliar ground.

    Even though the match was technically a home one for St Pats Ath and played in Richmond Pk?

    Your having a bit of fun of course.

    Of course. How do you think next Friday will go crowd wise? Do you think it could hit 4,000? It's our biggest game so far this season and some of our fans are boycotting it due to the incident last year.

    We got nearly 2,400 to watch UCD. Very few away fans, game on a Monday, and not a fixture that generates a lot of interest.

    I'd expect at least 3,000 home fans for this one. I hope Pats fans reconsider their boycott. Security has improved this season as the club had to deal with a serious pyro problem that was threatening to close part of the ground. Unfortunately, away facilities have not improved though the club hopes to improve these before next season.

    I'll be there anyway, do we just bring the league trophy and hand it over after the game or do we have to wait until October?

    No chickens will be counted, whatever the score. There is a lot of football to be played and a difficult transfer window to negotiate.

    Perfectly understandable


    The PA announcer has promised to be well behaved and not play that Queen number again.

    There is a rumour going that he also plans to apologise for the upset he caused Pats fans last season and arrange counselling for anyone still traumatised.

    Leave it there. Win lose or draw nothing is won on Friday. Just the mood that I will come home to the misses in.

    Massive game and our biggest of the year so far against the galacticos of inchicore.

    BTW how are pats? Any suspensions or injuries?

    Hope we break the 3k barrier and if it was any other occasion/time of the year. we probably would bit weather dependent and more importantly the Spain v Holland game will affect the crowd regrettably

    I don't know about other clubs but I believe historically our crowds drop off in the summer months due to holidays and other stuff like county championships

    No I mean the incident that involved one of our fans falling in the stand and breaking bones in his back.

    Sean Hoare went off injured last night which means Oman and Browne will now form the slowest centre half partnership of all time and also rules out any chance we had of getting a result.
