2006 Attendances

**Conor H** · 08/04/2006, 11:14 PM

Ya does no favours for the league at all.......what muppets announcing the attendance just before K.O.
In terryland at least 300 id say arrive after K.O.

Wouldn't even be just before kick-off either. They'd probably glance at the main stand ten minutes before kick-off - the weather was nice before the game started, so there were a fair few on the other side under the press box - make up a figure and then worry about what they're going to say in their preview; by the time they get on air, the figure is nonsense. I know we don't have the biggest crowds in the league, but that still doesn't excuse reporting nonsense.

It wasn't just in passing though; they had a long piece about you moving your games last night i think, so they were asking with that in mind

Incidentally, the final of the AIL Cup between Cork Con and someone at the weekend had 500. Just as a comparison.

It was even worse than it appears. There were four clubs involved, Rainey OB played Youghal in the Junior Final and Cork Con played St Mary's College in the Senior.

I met a Rainey OB at Connolly station who said that there were four or five buses coming from Magherafelt, so assumed the total crowd would run into thousands. Talked to a bloke this evening who said there were only 5-600, in total.

Youghal can count themselves lucky that they didn't have
to take on Young Boys of Rainey !
