Just because Corks fans wont travel ye shouldn't assume others like Donegal folk wont be making the effort!

Excuses Excuses!
1,542 in The Showgrounds
Where?! I saw a couple of flags but no fans!
I was counting the flags. They hung themselves up of course.
But, if you must know, there was actually 12 people in that section of away fans by the flags. There was another 8 people in the Donie Forde stand. I'm told there was a group of Donegal folks living in Cork there to support Harps, but I don't know if they actually turned up or not.

I'm sure there were some there, but I didn't see any in the traditional away area. Oddly enough I saw someone in a Derry shirt (the 2008 or so Meteor one I think) walking up the steps into the Shed pre match.
What ever happened the the flourescent shirt flag? One of the most endearing memories I have of Harps. I remember that flag going back to the late 90s. As long as I've been going anyway.
The flourescent shirt flag is still knocking about. Needed repairing after Derry came to town though.
It's just too big to be bringing around to grounds though, there's very little places we can actually bring it. Would have been grand in Cork up on the away area where there was nobody, but it's just too big to be carting around.
Besides, it also advertises O'Neills and Donegal Creameries. We had talked about updating it to have Legea and McGettigans on it..but...you know...effort.

I'd say no more than 600-700 in the Carlise grounds last night.
Summary of this weekends attendances:
2,403 - Cork City v Finn Harps
2,000* - Derry City v Bohemians
3,000* - Shamrock Rovers v Dundalk
500* - Wexford Youths v Galway United
600* - Bray Wanderers v St. Patrick's Athletic
1,542 - Sligo Rovers v Longford Town
300* - Athlone Town v Cabinteely
500* - UCD v Limerick
??? - Waterford United v Drogheda United
400* - Cobh Ramblers v Shelbourne
Certainly more than 2,000 at the Derry match, it was the biggest crowd of the season. 3,000 would be more accurate.
Would have expected more in Tallaght considering it was a 'top of the table' clash. Unless Rovers fans feared what prevailed in the end. I'd expect a good crowd for a Monday night in Turner Cross and surpass Fridays crowd in Tallaght.
Our fans were all terrified Bohs would come back and give us another thrashing.
Seriously, the crowd was smaller than I expected but more or less in line with what we've been getting the last couple of years. If it was round three and we had been four points off the top you might see a better crowd.
Based on Friday nights display, your theory will not be tested anytime soon
and yet its quite conceivable that dundalk will have their biggest gate of the season when Rovers visit oriel pk later on in the season...
Shamrock Rovers- Where trophies are won and envy is scarce
It is conceivable but not the top draw of recent years, now if Rovers take 1000+ fans then that game is in with a shout of being one of the bigger attendances. But whats your point?
Woah.
