MHR showed up at Mounthawk on Friday, so keep a close eye on the next Sports Capital Grants ...

A patch of ground covered with a load of rubble isnt a stadium, already well behind schedule, private investors slow in meeting pledges, infighting, contractors looking for money upfront, ye know the usual. Interesting that the Golden Passport initiative has been scrapped recently, I wonder who it was that facilitated so many applications that the scheme was binned? Ollie Byrne would be impressed if he was still around!
Hi nigel-harps1954,
30,221 according to the Irish Examiner! ?

Apparently he was asking everyone why Kerry were 4 players short in the game
First Division average was 1,639. You have the Longford crowd wrong (was 1,541, not 1,514), and the Harps one too (was 2,552, not 2,517).
Are you sure the Shels gate wasn't 3,424 ?

Im not John Fallon
That’s exactly what I’d expect John Fallon to say in these circumstances tbh
Tremendous attendances all over the country last weekend. It was interesting point made about the GAA as I am a biased Roscommon fan but we had 8k at the Hyde on Sunday for Armagh which is unheard of in the league. There seems to be a real appetite across all codes for people to go to games. Its great to see and nothing beats being there.
They have already got 1/3 money needed, next batch due in march and rest in Sept. GAA also giving them the €5m left they need. The stadium will be ready Sept 2024 (good bit behind original plan but what in Ireland dosnt get delayed) look at finn park. Took them 10 years to fix a puddle in oriel ffs
Tbf Roscommon are flying and Armagh are the most fanatical supporters in the country
Yes I seen when Roscommon played Tyrone at home was only just over 4000 at it. Armagh have serious support especially when going well
Anyway let's hope attendances keep up this weekend
Home tickets sold out again this week for Pats for the visit of shels on Friday. Last time shels played in Inchicore they had less fans there than Derry did last week but if they bring in any way a decent crowd then the attendance should be over 5,000

Was the Derry game not a sell out at 4,789 ?
Home end sell out. Derry didnt sell all their away allocation (not that they’d be expected to given the distance) so half the shed end wasn’t used

Brilliant isn’t it
Drogheda United in this together
Holy moley!! Cant ever remember crowds this healthy all around since I've been around.
