    I'm not Wumming, but I have to say you are going to get some poor crowds 'if' you end up playing in the 1st division next year

    We've been in the First Division before, don't forget. Average was 306 that time. Away support for the lesser games like Sligo isn't all it's cracked up to be, so we won't be missing out on much, and we didn't lose that much of our home support last time. We can't go up against Leinster though given we're right in the middle of rugger-bugger heartland.

    I would have thought 50-60 was close enough based on people coming in when I was selling programmes. There were only a couple singing but there were more fans than them at the game.
    We're not arrogant, we're just better.

    Yeah, it was certainly more than 10. I could believe 50-60 no bother.

    I know what you mean, we're in Gaaaaah land here but we hope to convert a few on Saturday in the final. I've seen lads buying tickets for the game and you'd swear they were buying some ganga they way they wanted to avoid being spotted by anyone who might know them

    Ya I was talking to a few lads the other night who've never set foot in the place before, and might never again, but they have the tickets ready to go. It's going to be a fantastic night, hate the fact that I can't make it.

    Yes, and the UCD fans are one big league-hating clique.

    I'm already in bother with the anti-Delaney brigade so will refrain from the cheap and hugely overused joke that's waiting here begging to be put away.

    Hard to know what our attendance was, but it was apparently 150 more than last week (though I've not got that official figure), I'd have said something about the 700 mark maybe.

    To be fair you might be right, I didn't do a count or anything this time. For all it wasn't a great game it must have been better than the last few!

    I did think with it being Wexford and the hurling long over now that there would have been a lot more. They're just not interested.

    I would have thought nowhere near 800 but no matter.I made a complete **** of myself arriving for the game. Last time we were there, the new car park wasn't open, this time I drove up, lowered the window and asked the steward if the car par was open tonight. 'No bother', he advised 'that'll be €30'. I gave him my serious look of disbelief and moved forward to turn the car around and park elsewhere and then he leapt in front of the car to stop me. After a brief discussion, I realised he meant €30 for admission for me and my passenger to the game and I could park where I wanted....

    Chips were nice

    Right, I'll go back to my 700 then.
    Ah yeah, they have them trained not to let a potential punter get away!

    I would have thought it was slightly less to be honest but those estimates from the website are normally spot on
