Brilliant support last night for City,i'd say it was more like 600 there than a 1000 though,but I waws never too good at maths so I could be all wrong.

I was blinded by all the flares the corner was lighting up couldn't see for a lot of the game,nothing at all to do with all the tins we were drinking on the way up.

It was my first time at Tolka and I couldn't believe how bad the home support was.I mean it was a huge game for them as well as us and they couldn't even get behind their team,shocking.If the X was like that every second friday I'd be disgusted

i guess he means that a lot of people have used thier spare time/holiday entitlements to support City away this season and it'd be nice if we could rouse a crowd like that a bit more often.

i wouldnt slag anyone for going to a city match though the more the merrier and the more often the merrier!

It would be nice if they all made the effort more often though.

I just hope that all of those who were there last night will make the same effort on Friday week for the last away game of the season up in Drogheda. That's going to be another massive game, we'll be hoping to have at least 2 buses going to that again.

Well for me anyway, getting Fridays off, or even a half day is practically impossible. Id love to make it, but doubt I can.

Jesus, Cork under estimating their own crowd! I'd say 1,000+, and since I was looking at the stand whereas all of you were probably in it I probably got a better view of it. Wasn't far off the amount that Bohs brought recently, which is amazing really. Fair play for the numbers

**Fair_play_boy** · 30/10/2004, 6:30 PM

Thought there was about 600 until half time. Coming back from the "chipper", I could not believe how full the stand was. How much does it hold? I reckon we had it 60% to 65% full. I guess about 1,100.

**higgins** · 30/10/2004, 7:26 PM

I think it holds 3000??
maybe a bit more..

**A face** · 30/10/2004, 8:02 PM

I know that there was a bus trying to make it through traffic 20 mins into the game and a few more people along with that.

Coming out of the bar at half-time and looked over .... there was at least 1000+ .... when you stood back from it, it looked impressive alright. The colour (green white and red) stood out way more than normal (better than home games anyway)

**Fair_play_boy** · 30/10/2004, 8:10 PM

Played it safe and came up really early. Had a laugh walking around Dublin in the CCFC shirt. Got a few funny looks and "c'mon Shels" calls. 2 Bohs fans I met said they saw another City shirt as well, and decided they were going to join in with our crowd. Class.

**Colm** · 30/10/2004, 8:34 PM

I'd say there were at least 800 of us there although when I was coming out of the bar for the second half it did look like there were over 1000 of us there alright.
We put on a good show with everyone singing and the flares etc.
Hopefully we'll have similar numbers in Drogheda on Friday week, there's absolutely no reason why we shouldn't.

**�anna** · 30/10/2004, 10:32 PM

i reckon there were about 800 there to be honest. I was delighted to see the crowd we had there, but I do think the corner has a point. there were a hell of a lot of people who I have never seen at an away game beofre there, I know people can't make it every time, but I do think there are a lot of people who could make one or two away games per season more than they do, and it does make a difference. hopefully people will have got the taste for it now!

thank you eanna

let me clarify this

how many of that crowd were at their first away game last night

why will they only go if its a big game.. we have a "big" away game nearly every 2nd week

looked around me last night and saw a lot of new faces, thats all well and good if they are gonna be back again...dont think so

had to endure some @sshole slating georgie behind me( what biy can clarify this, A FACE might be able to, dont know if he heard it,but was close by).....ended up telling him to shut the fcuk up

would this happen against dublin city on a thursday..dont think so

im not saying im the best fan in the world before anybody jumps at me but with our home support there should be nothing stopping us filling 3 buses every week

used to get on at dolans waistcoat about wasting his fridays when city were playing away and he tried one game and now hes hooked....thats what we want out of away games

rant over

**joe** · 30/10/2004, 10:58 PM

I think I've seen it all now . . . giving out about people making the effort to travel to an away game.

Yeah i heard him alright but couldn't figure out who it was exactly. I actually wouldn't mind if, out of all the slating, there was something that Georgie was doing wrong but it was as if the guy wasn't even looking at the game, just shouting random abuse. Was trying to figure it out and then relised ... i'm spending too much time paying attention to this guy. I just shouted support for Georgie everytime he started up. To be honest ... i think this is the best way to counteract it, he seemed to shout less anyway.

(I agree that some people dont like Georgie and that is fine, fair play .. you have an opinion at least but the level of abuse that some people dish out is way over the top, you'd swear Georgie was dribbling the ball towards our goal with the odd one-two with the opposition. keep it in perspective at least)
