Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!
Not sure who you support , but what are you talking about ffs .Drogheda were getting the same amount of fans when we were fighting relegation .The season of the play off game with galway had a very similar average gate than this seasons .This is getting really annoying as no eircom leauge club can comment on attendances of another as there all crap .Bot dont let the facts get in the way of another way to attack Drogheda

Biggest club in Dublin i would sayWhy would I be obsessed with Shamrock Rovers?
Christ, don't flatter yourself. You're not worth of anyones hate, except maybe Dundalk. You're honestly trying to tell me that you have roughly the same average gate now as you did, the season you were fighting relegation? I might be hungover but i'm not just going to believe any old shi*te like that.Not sure who you support , but what are you talking about ffs .Drogheda were getting the same amount of fans when we were fighting relegation .The season of the play off game with galway had a very similar average gate than this seasons .This is getting really annoying as no eircom leauge club can comment on attendances of another as there all crap .Bot dont let the facts get in the way of another way to attack Drogheda
in fairness he's right about the season in question. althought we used to have dire attendences. i remember about 10 years ago we were about to fold and those years we used to get about 100 or 200 in gates but that was the worst it has ever been that i remember. i canb take this slaggin but at the end of the day we're a club who are on the up as opposed to most teams now so we're obviously going to be targets!
Aren't you a Bohs fan?Why would I be obsessed with Shamrock Rovers?
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Not sure why the op didn't just bring him to a Shels game if he's so concerned about the impression he'd get. Sounds like a massive case of being thin skinned - game was hardly so packed he couldn't go and mingle somewhere else if he was that bothered about getting a slagging over a (Connacht) Rugby jersey at a league match. Just add it to the list of bogus excuses that people will come up with...
Bar sounding like the shels fanzine is following very similar lines to Red Issue, it's probably right about people who where jesters hats to football matches. Taking one quote, from one article in one fanzine, quite probably out of context, hardly gives the right for anyone to brand all League of Ireland fans with the same brush when it comes to welcoming new comers. Speaking from experience I'd say it's the very opposite.
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
You seem touchy this morning for some reason.Not sure who you support , but what are you talking about ffs .Drogheda were getting the same amount of fans when we were fighting relegation .The season of the play off game with galway had a very similar average gate than this seasons .This is getting really annoying as no eircom leauge club can comment on attendances of another as there all crap .Bot dont let the facts get in the way of another way to attack Drogheda

My Fans ? Thanks v much
Strangely enough, our fans seem to like it; we're setting records for highest average attendances, then as now.My Fans ? Thanks v much
I think the gist of what they were saying is that there was a brief increase in your attendances while you were above your station in the league, but before and after that period they weren't very good and back in the grave yard a few years ago they were poor even by that standard.
Nothing to be ashamed of, as the heir to the Longford model (over-investing in a mostly Dublin-based side and sticking them at some club in the outer reaches of Dublin's suburbs) you won the same number of cups and succeeded where they didn't in pulling in a league title, albeit in a weakened league but we won't go into details. I'd say that'll be the difference, while Longfords attendances dropped back into the hundreds I'm sure you'll maintain yours around the thousand mark.

Sounds like the Galway United Chairman actually attended a game!
Galway United - Connacht Champions 2008
Thats good to know that your fans enjoy being beaten in cup finals , you really are strange bunch .As for us being above our station and getting crap crowds ? well its been said many times with regards to the population of corkie land you are getting even worse ones .i.e the vast majority of the bandwaggon corkies dont give a rats arse about city .As for your comments regarding dublin players ? Get over it FFS , you not complaining about were your manager and top goal scorer come from are you ? Dubs if im not mistaken . Does our close proximity to Dublin effect you langers that much that you keep harping on about it .As for over investing , how much are you big investors loosing this season ?
Ok,you support shels. In 2004 ye won the league and had an average attendance of 2158.Now in 2007,when in the first division your average attendance was 888. So where did all those who "love" the club go

Oh no, the achillies hill in my arguement. I hoping no one would bring that one up
Firstly, our averages weren't even that high in 2004 and secondly Columbo, did it ever cross your mind that while playing Premier football and winning titles, the away support was much bigger with teams like Derry, Cork, Pats, Bohs and Rovers all bringing in and over a thousand people to games Tolka.
