That's kind of sad, really.

Well Dalymount may not be ours, but it looks likely that Oily might be finding it a bit difficult to gain entry the next time we host Shels there in a few weeks time.

In a word NO.

And the sad person is not me but a certain gentleman

who cannot accept criticism of either his club, his team or himself.

Maybe, but to boycott a ground over it and not see your own team play down the road because you don't want to see him get 15e seems a bit much.

Been there, done that....17 long years ago.

Incidentally, does anyone think Shels 05 is a wee bit like Rovers 87? Big spending, domestic dominance not paying off in Europe, wheels falling off the wagon, odious CEO type and most of all - about to make a ridiculous decision that will effectively leave the club homeless.

Ah, you see the bit �15 is still in my pocket and not his.................IIRC taking cash at gates is not permitted under club licensing yet the big gate at the Drumcondra end is used, no counting of patrons entering,no ticket issued with the cash going straight into a pocket. How can that be accountable?

The type of turnstyle we have is supposedly allowed under the UEFA license. The fact that we're able to produce offical attendences for all games on here (Bar the most recent one anyway) means they obviously work.

What about the hoolie fans?

All I can say to that is ... hmmm ...

Never understood myself how shels get away with this. Always thought tickets had to be produced, not cash going into a rover biscuit tin at the gate

That's my point, there is no turnstile at the gate, so no recording of how many pay and enter at that location.

Official Attendance = Actual Attendance? Never!

So you reckon Shels are getting bigger crowds than they are letting on?

Maybe we do have fans after all then!

Perhaps Higgins has been in a coma for the past few years

That gate, as far as I would be aware, is only open as an exit towards the end of the game, or if it is an ALL ticket affair and tickets are taken on the way in. You enter by the turnstiles NEXT to the gate...

That whole statement is laughable

Nothing further to add except t osay I've never used a turnstile in Tolka
