    Well it was sent out at half time (as you do with things like this). I'm sure the team didn't hear about it during the game.

    Another part of the plan? Part of their plan to move out of the Carlisle?

    Enjoy the trip down there, but there is no interest in the town or it seems to me, no effort on the part of the club to establish links with the town, Shankill, greystones etc..
    Handy six points for Bohs this season though, so hang on in there Bray!

    So there was no offer for Connolly pre season yet less than 100k. 50k, 25k? I was always of the impression that a club enquired how much a player wold be to purchase and the owning club state how much or not for sale. An enquiry is hardly 'can i spend 100k on your player please?' That and the typo - did he run in at HT peeved at the crowd and rattled out some figures.

    No mention of what the club has done to engage the locals?

    Unfair on. Clubs like limerick galway Sligo etc who do there business properly Bray never could afford the money they were paying players with the crowds they were getting

    Question is ....is he just putting this out there before he offloads some of the high earners to shut the fans up or is it a question of lodge the Connolly cheque and tonight's gate receipts and lock the gates ??

    In fairness, Galway have had their time on the other end of the spending stick.

    There's been a lot of work done at a local level I think; players at schools, local clubs, etc. 120+ players in a season-long fantasy football competition, including players/officials. Decent local media coverage. The mascot turned on the Christmas lights in Bray last year. There's more I'm sure. Bottom line is - welcome to the LoI.

    Also, good aul foot.ie! A club releases what's at best a curious statement, at worst a quite worrying one which certainly seems to have overtures of financial trouble - and someone has to come out and say "The attendance was waaaay more than that"

    Never change.

    Have Bray ever had a substantial support? ? 59 adult season ticket sales is depressing though and would alarm bells not be ringing a lot sooner if that is all you sold pre-season? ?

    Wouldn't be so sure about Limerick. Last time Mad Pat pulled his money we were relegated. Nailed on to happen again if he repeats the trick.

    The ST sales are absolutely abysmal.

    I really hope the people of bray and wicklow can come out and watch their side. Is there anything else there sportswise that's keeping folk away in the area

    They announced 1,538 tonight, based on those figures this makes it the season best, but I see the Rovers figure is disputed, to be fair I would have expected that to be higher given the proximity.

    Why on earth did they feel the need to hand this statement out at HT?

    What a bizarre statement of facts & figures from the usually Delusional Denis, not sure what his point is though, has he just suddenly realised that Bray might very well not be able to sustain a professional setup to compete in the Champions League in the near future?

    I can only take it that somebody has been burning their cash on the club for the past 2 years so there should be nothing to worry about for Bray, in the short to medium term at least

    Anyway nice to see some actual gate receipt figures (they look legit), if all 20 clubs did this the real figures would be a horrorshow for all at Abbotstown to cover up

    If those figures are correct in terms of paying customers, Bray handed out around 900 free tickets for the Shamrock Rovers game.

    Either that, or they wildly inflated their official attendance figure.


    They also left out the figure from the Harps game at the start of the season.

    Bray v Harps - 1,117 (No figures from statement)
    v Drogheda - 638 (305 paying customers)
    v Limerick - 649 (342 paying)
    v Galway - 477 (255 paying)
    v Rovers - 2,225 (1,298 paying)
    v Pats - 1,287 (786 paying)
    v Bohs - 1,193 (1,015 paying)
    v Sligo - no official figure (411 paying)
    v Derry - 799 (365 paying)
