Yeah, because there's over 20,000 there every year!

I was at Bohs v Longford the year that Bohs won the double and they couldn't fill Tolka.
I'm certain that Pat's v Longford had a smaller crowd at Lansdowne too.

Yeah. 15k approximately in 2003

So you're backing Shels to win the FAI Cup?

After all - you're claiming that we won't win any silverware this year...

I havent backed anyone to win the FAI cup

So how can you say that City won't win any silverware, and then that's it's "Shels for me". It obviously can't be Shels for you to win the Cup, which therefore opens the possibility that we might win the cup, especially as you're not backing anyone else against us.

And what's with the pathological dislike of doubles, trebles and accumulators (whatever that is, in non-bookies terms ?) ?

The only suffering I'm doing is having to listen to you on here....!

you dont have to listen to me on here, technically there should be no sounds associated with these posts

but if you're hearing voices....the Dublin City Loss Syndrome IS AT AN ADVANCED STAGE

A mind-numbingly dull sound tends to emanate from your posts, followed inevitably by a groan on my part. And sometimes the sound of head being placed in hands......

You obviously didn't get the analogy.

He said the FAI Cup final attendance was poor by FA Cup final standards not FAI Cup final standards,

He was drawing a comparison with a League Cup final held in Belfield where a crowd that was considered large there, which it was, would be considered low by a LC final held in say the X or the Brandywell.

We are entitled to half the allocation,you're not giving them to us to sell!!!

Shels lay on free buses for Derry trip:

Wonder if our Dublin Supporters Club can use them?

**pineapple stu** · 10/09/2006, 6:27 PM

Is "free" a synonym for "We won't pay"?

You're entitled to half the tickets and 40% of the gate.

But we all know you won't use them.

Moral dilemma for Shels. Do they:
a) demand their rightful allocation of tickets (3,000 or so), sell 100 and reduce the capacity of the ground, and reduce their share of the gate accordingly; OR
b) request only the tickets they need and be outnumbered by a factor of 50 by Derry fans.

Ollie must be tearing his hair out.........

PS the last time Shels ran free buses to Derry was the week after the Deportivo game when 50-70 fans showed up.

if we use them or not,is not the point. You asked why should we get anymore than 20 and i said because we are entitled to them, which you have just agreed with,therefore proving my inital point.

I can also state right now that those figures are wrong...............it was less!
