Yeah that's about all that was there, surprised considering the upturn in the Town's fortunes since Perth took over. Was the banjo festival really that much of a draw?

Looks like only slightly over 3,000 at the LC final tonight. Only 900 Derry fans made the trip and where scattered in different sections of the ground thanks to the way the F.A.I. went about selling the tickets.

Not a great game for a nuetral or Wexford fan but fecking brilliant for a Derry fan.

Well done Wexford for hosting a great night out.It also looked great on TV.

Funny, I thought the scope of the discussion was a bit wider than a single question from sonofstan.

Next to Derry then it would have to be Sligo for bringing the biggest away support to Finn Park.

Of the other sides I would agree, Rovers would be the biggest.

I presume you're talking about facility wise, as view wise it's one of the best in the country as you get an un-obstructed view of the whole pitch. Rovers crowds in Dalymount this year were sh�t, the worst they've ever had, surprised that Pat's brought more with them than Rovers.

It's not only Bohs but the crowds at Dublin derbies this year have been very poor all round.

well, there was 47 at a recent Monaghan - Waterford game at Gortakeegan. 35 from Waterford.

I mean, how do clubs like Monaghan and Kildare keep going. Kildare are well and truly shagged while Monaghan seem to be nothing more than a social club.

**trevy** · 29/09/2008, 10:10 AM

Don't be upsetting Monaghan Partizan. They did us a good favour yesterday v Dundalk and we have to go there on the last day of the season!
400 was figure mentioned on the match report on back of Waterford today for the home game v Monaghan recently.

The phrase with the words 'People' and 'Glasshouses' comes to mind here
