Theres a few factors involved, obviously the first game of the season brings a bigger crowd, playing one of the big teams, new manager and Forrester being back also added to it, Rovers being away probably helped as a neutral on the Southside who wanted to check a game out only had one option
But as mentioned above the club have been doing a lot of stuff in the community over the last few months, the new community officer is doing a brilliant job. Things that have been missing for the last number of years, school visits, local football clubs visit, getting local businesses involved again and just generally really pushing the Pats and Inchicore connection has worked wonders.
The best thing about about the crowd on Friday is that even though Cork brought a decent crowd over 3,000 were there supporting Pats.
I know I’m getting ahead of myself but we play Rovers in 3 weeks, 6/7 points from our 3 games before then and we could see a massive crowd at that, here’s hoping
