100% Attendance?

**pineapple stu** · 16/12/2005, 1:25 PM

Missed about 6 this year. Think I missed three last year. A healthy devotion!

**Bald Student** · 16/12/2005, 1:28 PM

I remember reading in a Shamrock Rovers program about a young wan who hadn't missed a game, home or away, since he was born.

Are you sure that wasn't a printing error...I mean...typo?

That's soooooo gay

Have never left a bird get in the way of me going to a drogs match (was it dodge that had a story on here a couple of weeks ago about getting dumped because he went to a pats match instead of bringing his girlfriend out for her birthday

)

**harpskid** · 16/12/2005, 2:10 PM

I was at all Harps games this year, home and away.

Was at most U21 games too

Cosmo ...feck sake man .The last time you seen a fanny you put a plaster on it

**EireBadBoy** · 17/12/2005, 12:42 AM

Good to see there are loads of plastic fans out there!!

I get grief off friends for missing matches through work, it's almost like you miss matches because you want to. I see getting to a game a privilege rather than a choice as I work shifts.

Having said that I know one culprit that has just started Uni. in Belfast - I'll not be long in getting my own back and when they get a job.........

Ohhhhhhhh!!! That would explain so many, many, many things!! Thanks for letting us know.

Missed 4 matches all year due to 2 holidays and Oxygen! IT'S HARD...

**Anto McC** · 17/12/2005, 9:11 AM

I never did but last season my 16 year old brother got to all the league and cup matches both home and away.

It wasn't her birthday. I went out with her on her birthday. It was a party for her birthday the night after it. And Pats were going for the league FFS, no way was I missing that. Seen her since, she's in bits. A couple of kids and about 3 bellies so no loss...

As for Peadar's comment about having a life.... I have a life. I choose to go the games, no one forces me. Its just the thing I like doing most.*

)Well obviously there's one or two exceptions but I dream of the day when I can combine them. (Can't wait for executive boxes...)

**Passive** · 17/12/2005, 9:33 AM

Got to every game I could get to this season. Missed one home game, the second (?) last one against Bray, because I was out of the country. Also missed some away games (Cork, one of the Derry ones, Waterford, Drogheda) because I was stuck in work. I had the pleasure of missing the second leg of the play-off because I was out of the country with work.

I've never made every match in a season, work or holidays always deprives me of a few. Put it this way, I've never been sitting at home twiddling my thumbs when Rovers are playing.

Dodge - sometimes these decisions have to be made. Was in a similar situation myself when the Hoops were causing a bit of tension. I had to choose. I'm still going to Rovers.

**Hulsey** · 17/12/2005, 11:17 AM

Missed four games (2 away, 2 Home) all season. Missed Avondale away in the cup and the first Harps away game because aparantly the leaving cert was more important

! Still throw that one at my ma & da every so often

. Missed Longford at home because my mates wouldn't wait till Saturday morning to drive down to Oxygen and missed Waterford at home cos my uncle decided to get married in Lanzarote the day after the game and we had to be on the specially chartered flight on the thursday

. I sulked through every single one of those absences. Next year I'm defo going for the clean sweep.

**Dr.Nightdub** · 17/12/2005, 1:42 PM

Was one game away from it myself last season - missed the first away game to Shels cos the annual sales conference in work was on in March and a compulsory overnight stay was involved. Next year, with the conference on in January and the fortnight's break in the season cos of the World Cup to squeeze in a quick holiday, a clean sweep looks do-able.

**bohs til i die** · 17/12/2005, 8:24 PM

went to all games in 2002-2003 and all of the 2003 season with the exception of one of our two trips to Derry in November 2003 [which were on Tuesday nights].

Since then have missed 6 in two full seasons out of about 90 games altogether.
