    Unhappy Crowd Vs Longford?

    I hate to say this, but the fact that our game with Longford is clashing with "The Battle Of Britain" is going to affect our crowd really badly tomorrow. The fact that the weather is crap lately wont help people away from their living rooms either.

    Just another example of how stupid it is to have so many fixtures so close to each other at the end of a season.

    Id say we will be lucky to see about 1500-2000 if we are lucky, but those who stay away will unfortuneatly miss a big 3-0 win for the rebel army!
    If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.

    I'd say there'll be 2000, hopefully 2500. City have built up an excellent supporter base this season. Fingers crossed

    Hehe....u remember Dolan asking City supporters to make the UCD home match a sell-out at the start of the season??!!
    We might not have sold out a match but we did have several good gates, and we still have the best crowds by a mile in the league.

    I don't see any reason why the Manchester v Rangers game should affect our crowd however being realistic I know that it definately will. And the fact that it will is, in my mind, an outrage.

    As Eanna said, we have built up a very strong support base with a bigger than ever number of diehards (the away crowds alone prove that). I reckon we should get 2500-3000 regardless of any games on TV, lets just hope the weather will be nice.
    Champions!

    i think the united -v- rangers game will have a big effect.
    a crowd of 2,500 or thereabouts would be great all things considered, agree that the support base has been solidified though.

    ????????????
    It would be good going if there are 20 fans down der
    If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

    it would be a real shame if some of our so called supporters dont turn out to what really is such a vital match. 3 points here will set us up nicely for our game against the rovers friday night and in our conquest for europe

    I'd say there was less than 2000 there last night. Definitely our smallest league crowd this season, no surprise given the weather and everything.

    1200 to 1400 at a push. wish I had stayed away myself, missed a excellant docu on bbc2 about the bentley dominance of the le mans race. fair play to those who stayed at home they made the right decision unlike those dopes in merrion who inssit on cramping 6 league games into 4 weeks. why 36 games when we had 27 last year and 33 before that?
    john flynn? - awesome!!!!!!

    qoute from Mick Conroy in the sun today:
    "The real losers were the fans who bothered to brave the poor weather and ended up seeing an awful game to boot"
    ...fair enough, but he continues....
    "They would have been better off watching Manchester United in the pub."
    ...obviously some above share the same opinion, i think it's an attitude that stinks to high heaven. it wasn't pretty, we played crap, we dropped two points, i for one am still glad i was there.

    The only way the weather and other matches wouldn't have kept people away from the Cross last night would be if City were challenging for honours. A lot of fans smply can't be arsed sitting in the rain if there is no glory in it.

    at least this season we have the teams playing an even number of times. I thought the idea of teams playing each other 3 times was stupid. They really have to work on the fixtures for next season though- they should try and get more mid-week games in throughout the season

    RTÉ radio put the crowd at 1800 - mentioned that it was definitely the lowest of the season too...

    The last few weeks for everyone have been really bad as far as I know - another reason why the FAI were geniuses to schedule the midweek games for November...

    Doesn't next season start a little earlier to give more weeks for these games? And of course there'll be two less midweeks anyway 'cos of no Special Olympics.

    No Midweek games would be preferable, but priority has to be keeping an even number of games - playing each other 3 times was a joke.... Using yourselves as a case in point (to make a point not have a dig) - teams that played you twice at home obviously had an advantage over teams that had to go to the cross twice...
    If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
