Cork City v Derry City. Word is around 4000 with papers quoting as 4100.

mypost has a bee in his bonnet about later evening kick-offs. Something to do with it working on the continent, where there's an entirely different culture to here. Ignore him.

All league games in both divisions should k.o. on Saturday nights at 8.30pm, the best time of the week to attract crowds.

Saturday nights, fine. 7:45 k.o though.
Must admit, I do have a soft spot for Sunday afternoons, wish we had a few games then...

Nah, rather people turn up for matches before ko. They like to come early and in an orderly fashion, not run around trying to make ko like here, and therefore miss the first 20 minutes.

Why do you assume that later kick offs won't just lead to people running around later?

I hate 3pm games on sundays,there's no atmosphere and all you can do is hope it's sunny so you can relax.

Precisely. When I heard the reason that games werent on fridays or saturdays because Dundalk hire their bar out I honestly thought it was a complete wind up.

No offense but this is pathetic. Shels, boez, Drogheda also have bars but they dont put their games to midweek cos someone wants to have a **** up on a friday.

Again football is a weekend game. Its what you look forward to all week. Considering we werent allowed in the bar the last time we were there how much revenue did you lose then?

We must be the only league in the world that lets games be played at anytime or have games postponed for the most idiotic reasons e.g. Limerick moving back to the thursday because it was a bank holiday

Til the above garbage is sorted out this league will always be viewed as a joke.

Ah, going to a football match on a lazy Sunday afternoon. A few lunchtime beers, nice crowd, noone in a hurry, home in time for dinner...

Good to see the people of Cork coming out in force when a decent team visits.

Well considering that our stewards had to take cans off you lot before coming in think you were well oiled already

You may have noticed that we are only tenants there. If oily doesnt want to open up nothing we can do.

But thanks for ignoring the issues I brought up previously.

We estimated 1000 in the RSC on Friday. Not too bad given the appalling conditions with a thunderstorm all day. All sections of the stand were reasonably full and about 20 poor (posssibly in both senses of the word?) souls stood out in the elements.

Bang on, can confirm that but as usual Pinneapple underestimates out attendances.

Ulterior motive anyone?

**ger121** · 23/08/2006, 2:20 PM

I hope as part of the new FAI superdooper league that clubs will be publishing attendances. I know that they send them to the FAI but why they aren't released i haven't a clue.

And how did he do this? Bluemovie just gave 1000, but two more of your fans agreed that 800 was about right. Should PS have waited for the figure you personally approve? Or are you just talking ****e?

**SPXcyan** · 23/08/2006, 9:08 PM

I only said around 800 fans at the RSC because of the drogs fans in block B.. and thought perhaps nobody in block A.. but maybe there was.. but I couldn't see!!

Eh, no. I went with two other Waterford fans' guesstimates under the "Partizan is a gobsh!te" ruling. Rarely used, I know, but useful to drag up now. Maybe if you stopped sounding like a bitter stuck record, I might pay you some heed.

(Incidentally, I never posted which attenadnce figure I went with...)

**Partizan** · 24/08/2006, 10:19 AM

Wow, amazing powers of reasoning demonstrated by our educated elite. Anybody who disagrees with you is 'a gobsh!te'.

Blooming marvellous.

so by your powers of deduction, me, bluemovie, WLR and the 1000 or so Waterford & Drogheda fans are also 'gobsh!tes'.

Talk about collective blame. You'd be brilliant in the Hague.
