Leave it out, shes a lovely lady. She is one of the few parents that makes the effort to attend all her sons games. I love parents like her & Barry Burke's dad, they are part of our club now almost as much as their sons.

Has to be the highest ratio of female/male supporters in the league (or any other league maybe

). This should be the key selling point of any marketing drive to the lonely bachelor farmers of Monaghan.

Yeah I know....we are very much a family club where husband, wife & kids come along. Its the way it should be if you ask me. At least 10 of those females are under 35 too so its not like its just the mammies of the players or anything.

Anyways there arent many lonely bachelor farmers in Monaghan.....they are so rich all the goldiggers have them snapped up.

Is that a list of those who attended the Monaghan-Shels game, or the names of all the extras used in filming Deliverance........ ?

Maybe that could be verified / contradicted by an Athlone fan?

Discuused this with atfconline at half time that it was well less than half of what is normally there and we estimated about 700 so we could go with the estimate by Philly of 600 as he was looking across into the stand and we were estimating from the press box.

After watching the muck played on the pitch could be even less against Harps in two weeks.

**oriel** · 16/04/2007, 9:47 PM

Dundalk v Cobh 1,500 max. Crowd well down from prev two games due to a Sunday ko, an arrangement with Cobh to suit travel plans.

Things are bad when you can name all of your away supporters individually

.

**Philly** · 16/04/2007, 10:14 PM

Wexford V Kildare - I'd say 1100

**don ramo** · 17/04/2007, 12:32 AM

well we need to buck up our attendances but i dont think there that accurate where did you get our attencance figures from could have sworn there were 600 (give our take 50) at our game vs killkenny,
well i personally am hopin for a big crowd for our game against shels the weekend and seeing a good perfromance for the support that turns out to maintain it,
people in cobh are very fickle about supporting there local team

No that was good for us & didnt know all their names. I just pretty much happen to know everyone connected to the club by name, it is my job to get to know our fans you know!

In fairness I'd say most loi clubs would be able to have a stab at naming the vast majority of their away day regulars or at least know them to see them

But then yes, things are bad in the league
