You'll never convince some people, Slash.
I'm a Shels fan. I've seen Bohs once this season. I have no idea what kind of crowds they get for other games. The only idea I have is from the published attendances, and, for Shels they seem reasonably accurate, so I'm assuming they're accurate for Bohs too.
I'm assuming that a Bohs fan wouldn't have been to Tolka more than once or twice this season, so what is he going on to see our published attendances must be wrong?

$h€l$ are a joke!
We outnumbered them in the cup last year and they didn't bother to produce a programme. All the media got was a piece of paper with the teams.
This is supposed to be our country's biggest club.

1) There's no point giving Shels fans here shít over attendances - we go to the games and support our club - just like everyone else.
2) What does it matter to anyone else how many of us go? Sure we'd love more, the entire league would, but there's nothing to brag about if you get an extra 200 through the turnstiles, wow, 200 more people you don't know turned up, paid, and left. Amazing! (I haven't compared figures, all I know from this thread is they are "similar").
3) There's nothing to gain from Shels by exaggerating attendances, Cork will be stung for loads on their end of year taxes pulling in 1.5m people per game and all that.
4) Isn't it quite sad to be arguing over "more people go to watch my team than your team, nyah nyah nyah-nyah nyah" ??
No team here has enough supporters regularly going through the gates, and childish bickering like this isn't going to solve ANY clubs attendance problems (except Bohs, because they say so).

I hate getting caught up in this stupid debate! Every single club has shít attendences bar none.
Every single club has roughly equal attendences on average, relevent to their league of course.
Bohs fans, did you count the shels fans that occupied the Jodi stand as well as the connaught st end? Didn't think so, although it was a woeful turnout!
Bohs are just J€a£ou$!
I know most of the shels fans on here, they as I go to every home game we can, so therefor you're preaching to the choir here.
Mods please lock this pointless thread??? Its boring now, you're as bad as the barstoolers who slag us for going to these games!!!
To be correct and for accuracies sake, Bohs and $hels fans are just scared of the big bad Rovers fans and whinge about them endlessly.To be correct:
(Just for accuracies sake!
Now back with you to your "my cwowd is bigger than you lickle cwowd" debate.....
I prefer to take a qualitative approach
This way, it's fair to observe that when you are playing the two-in-a-row giants of the Premier Division from a mile and a half down the road, you might expect them to turn up in numbers and have some impact. But their 700 or so on the Connaught St side looked and felt like half that, and there were so few, if any, in the Jodi that the first I knew about them was when I read it online. It was a pathetic display for a club that's had such success on the field and is the darling of our admittedly misguided sports meejiah. Looking at some rather duboious attendance records does nothing to change that.
Whatever else we might say about them, and their problems with anger management, at least the hoops make an impression and challenge for a response. Proposed ideal solution from a Bohs viewpoint: relegation of shams; enforced migration of sham support to Shels to give them some backbone; induction to incorporate compulsory choice of peace jab v. lobotomy operation.
Of course, we can shortcircuit the whole debate. Whatever about numbers, it's quality that counts, and Bohs fans are naturally better.
ARE SO!
why do shels allow people to pay in on the gate instead of using tickets as they're meant to (like the Licensing deal says) so?
where does this say so Eanna?
your love of shels is growing

Ah, ironic typos!(Just for accuracies sake!
I'm such a genius, I clearly meant that one!

Bull$hit, $hels get around 2000 if they are lucky, city get 3000-5000, derry also have very good attendances.
I know cork get large attendances maybe because it is the only team in the hole city which has a population of 350,000. But dubl!n has a pop. of around 1.2million and have 5 teams in the priemier division, split this by four (excluding UCD.....SORRY) and it is the same pop. to a team as Cork have. I know this is unfair dividing up the pop. of the city but you should be getting attendances of over 4000
Best typo of the year. Priceless!
Revenge for 2002
So you cant swear on this board but the mods allow shyte like this to be posted.

There's less than 200,000 living in Cork City.
City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.
