I'm a little disappointed in the supposed ticket sales from Derry's end.
If it's true that we've only sold about 5500 tickets.

FFS we were able to take 3000 to Scotland for the Gretna game and 3000 to Paris for the PSG game.

I think the fact that it's on a cold December has alot to do with it.

Bring back Summer football............................oh wait this is summer football

As long as it wasn't destined for the Cup Final market. It could be an incredibly depressing weekend in D8 if it was...

Almost exactly as many as we brought to the 2002 Final.

Again, I'm bemused by people's enthusiasm for a 25,000 crowd (1000% more than the better teams get week on week). I'd much rather us add 500-1000 regular attenders rather than drag up 10,000 people who go to a game once a decade.

Agree the Final for me is about a day out for the regulars that
watch week in week out. A reward if you like, for watching the rubbish as well as the good matches, if that means there is
only 5 thousand at it who cares

[Maz]

All well and good but that never happens...well for the country teams it doesnt. I mean we had about 1500 at every game 2003/2004 and yet we brought almost 10,000 in 2003 and 8,000 in 2004 to the cup finals. People are fickle and enjoy a good day out!

[manic da hoop]

we brought 8,000 in 2004 to the cup finals.

Very good work indeed seeing as the official attedance was something like 7,500 for the '04 Cup Final. Did Waterford bring minus 500 fans with them that day?

[seand]

Did Waterford bring minus 500 fans with them that day?

That was pretty close to the figure alright!

[Maz]

It was just under 10,000 actually and I used a rounded up figure as with the 2003 figure, simply to show how fickle people can be! My argument was in relation to the day being for regulars and not people who love the day out

[dcfcsteve]

Dublin South Central to be precise

And strikingly similar to South Central LA.......

Absolute Rubbish, i have never heard so much elitist garbage in my life

how on earth can we increase our fanbase, if we cant attract additional support for the FAI cup final how can we increase it for a league game against Bray

[sniffa]

The word you're looking for is "deprived", steve...

Steve, if you walked through D8 any night you would be quick in knowing the meaning of " deprived".

Deprived of your watch, deprived of your wallet, deprived of your mobile, deprived of your....................etc.

Pats might even deprive you of the cup!

[BohsFans]

.....for sale in Cork no doubt

Athlone probably!

100% correct. How on earth do we expect to increase the crowds. People aren't going to go and watch St Pat's/Derry v Waterford/Bray. This game is a showpiece and should be used as a marketing tool. This is the most coverage we get in the national media throughout the seasnon.

To confine the FAI Cup final to the die-hards is the type of insular attitude that is killing the league.

I can see where the original poster was coming from, but the post was misguided at best.
