Bigger gate tonight (Football question, so if you don't like Football don't look)

[City Gent]

Last nights match Republic of Ireland V Northern Ireland attracted a crowd of approximately 35 will tonight's game Scotland V Wales attract a bigger crowd?

Secondly why was last nights gate so pathetically low.

from what i hear it had something to do with the northern irish fans were told they had to use a certin bus and it was going to cost them and they couldnt use buses that they had booked themselfs something to do with complaints from locals about the buses parking all over the place and so the northern irish fans desided not to bother comming down or so i have been told.

Last night's match was a glorified friendly and with the English premier league ending a couple of days beforehand, the match was never gonna have the big names or be played the way an Ireland v Northern Ireland match should be.
Just look at the lineups ffs.


Rep of Ireland: Given (Forde 72), McShane, Ward, Kelly, Delaney, Coleman (Lawrence 55), Andrews, Foley (Hunt 70), Treacy, Keane (Keogh 62), Cox. Subs Not Used: St Ledger, O'Dea, Randolph.

Northern Ireland: Blayney, Thompson, Cathcart, McAuley, Hodson, Carson (McGinn 73), Clingan, Davis (Garrett 76), Gorman (Coates 55), Feeney (Boyce 73), McQuoid (Norwood 46). Subs Not Used: Tuffey, Winchester, Dallas, Owens.


Several Ireland players i've never heard of and as for the Northern Ireland team.. I recognise one name in there.

Who'd waste good money paying for a ticket to watch that tripe..
