Waterford FC Thread

yeah asking on social media for people to attend isn't really going to work that well for him. he barely has any Waterford based followers those that do are just RTing into the circles of those who go anyway. Twitter isn't that popular in Waterford either, ive found anyway.

need to be creative to get the Waterford public to back the team. only thing i can think of to suggest is take a hit for the semi final game if the draw is at home and give out free tickets or something. It hits his pocket but a packed stadium getting the bug for local football would be worth it. and then it could push the team over the line to the final.

I wouldn't wish owning Waterford FC on my worst enemy in all honesty. the last time I've seen buzz about them from the casual side of Waterford football is when Dan Conner Neale Fenn and the lads were around haha

to fill it to the brim, he certainly would

Anyway, back to matters at hand.. Massive league match Friday nite against Drogheda.. Hopefully we get all 3 points.. We need to be winning our home games ⚽⚽👍

When they were challenging for Europe a few years back they were getting 2,500 for most games and hit the 4,000 mark for Rovers, Dundalk and Cork City... If the team are doing well, the fans will be there.

Can't give away free tickets to the semi final cos the FAI and the away team get a share of the gate!

Nice buzz around the town again and while I am not sure about the long term commitment of the owner, his current enthusiasm is very welcome compared to the last one!

I think November will tell a lot - if there is commitment and early announcements about signings we can have a little bit of hope.

The uncertainty of recent off seasons was a huge factor in where we ended up earlier this season!

We need to hold on to the good prospects - Patterson, Junior, Darragh Power, Shane Griffin etc but I will be glad to see the back of the likes of Prince and Tshipamba, Milambo who have been piss poor really.

4 players and the manager signed for next season already.

Which players?

No idea but Marc Bircham said so at the recent supporters event. Said the rest are playing for their contracts.

Finn Harps are staying up. Playing good football and in good shape.

Dundalk have some very tricky fixtures but are showing a bit of bottle over the last two or three weeks.

Will go to the wire I think.

Tough draw away to Bohs, but you wouldn't write them off - decent record against them.

Odd game on Friday night. I thought they sat back far too much once they got the lead and Drogheda could easily have gotten an equaliser. I was almost wondering which side was down to 10 men. Great to get the 3 points but it was a close run thing. They played some nice football in the first half and were definitely on top but they didn't really manage to create too many clear cut chances in my eyes.

Seemed to be a decent enough attendance. Nearly all the seats were filled(except in the away section). Given that the ground has 3100 seats, I would estimate a crowd of over 2500, possibly 2750.

Dundalk won tonight which puts us 2 points below. An unusual season. We're on 32 points with 8 games to go. 32 points would guarantee that a team would stay up almost every year. The way things are going at the moment, the second from bottom team will finish with more than 40 points at least.

We have a tough run in ourselves in our last four fixtures.. Away to Dundalk, Home to Shamrock Rovers, Away to Longford and Home to Pat's.. Every game is a cupfinal now.. We need a point at least, preferably 3 against Sligo away on Saturday.. Never an easy lace to get a result.. Dundalk seem to be hitting a purple patch at the right time.. Massive game between themselves and Harps Friday.. As you say.. Drogheda are been dragged into a relegation battle also now.
