Yes, but everybody knows who exagerrates their crowds on this thread and who is fairly accurate

That's not relevant though because I'm using percentages.

Yeah, but I didn't want to upset the Cork fans by naming them directly.

I did not want to name clubs but lets be honest it does not take long to do head count of Monaghan attendance.

**pineapple stu** · 26/04/2007, 5:07 PM

Yeah, but if you miss the two lads in the jacks, you're out by 6%.

What are they doing in there for the whole 90 minutes

It's almost as if they're not interested in the football at all.

EL clubs pay tax on players wages [if they pay wages] and on end of year profit [if there is any].

Only Derry pay tax on actual gate receipts

Yes, but income you get off the balance sheet could be used to pay players under the table and avoid income tax.

**pineapple stu** · 27/04/2007, 12:29 PM

You shouldn't use technical terms; you look silly!

Income goes on the P&L, not the balance sheet, and employees paye PAYE, not Income Tax. Other than that, it's right.

**holidaysong** · 27/04/2007, 12:38 PM

About 1,400 at Dundalk vs. Wexford last night. I thought it would have been more considering our position.

I meant that the club wouldn't pay the income tax.

Point taken on technical terms.

**oriel** · 27/04/2007, 9:07 PM

Would agree with 1,400 (max) for Dundalk v Wexford, for most games in this division the away support in practically zero, def the case in this and our last game (v Cobh)

Credit to the home fans last night, at least they made an effort in creating a bit of an atmosphere.

**superfrank** · 27/04/2007, 10:12 PM

Horrible attendance at Bray-Galway tonight. Well under a thousand. About 800, tops.

Many Galway fans? Radio said they had a "small following" there.

**Philly** · 27/04/2007, 10:24 PM

120 at KCFC V KCFC I'd guess.

About twenty/thirty at most. I'm pretty sure the stewards actually moved them.

**pineapple stu** · 28/04/2007, 12:33 AM

410 at UCD-Longford.

**gael353** · 28/04/2007, 1:46 AM

Heard a figure from FAI guy that there was 873 at the Shels/Limerick game

**mickdlk** · 28/04/2007, 2:37 AM

If we were in Prem we would have best Home fans, away fans sinced 80's

**Dr.Nightdub** · 28/04/2007, 2:40 AM

Very big crowd in Richmond tonight for Pats v Rovers, haven't seen the Shed so packed in a long while. Pics on Rovers MB show their end of the Camac fairly full so allowing for one block of the stand being empty as a sanitary cordon between Pats and homeless, I'd say approx 4000 in total.
