And at least 500 of that Sligo fans.

Not League attendance related obviously, but was there really 5,500 at Bohs v Newcastle a few weeks back?

Would there seriously be that amount of support/interest for a championship side in Dublin against a side who made at least 9 changes to their recent league game?

I was at it. 5.5k is probably a stretch. The Jodi wasn't quite full but the Des Kelly nearly was. Around 4k I'd say anyway.

Fair enough, but that's still a huge crowd for a friendly, and with respect to Newcastle!! Well maybe the Rafa factor got a few more through the stiles, can't imagine there would be too many Newcastle fans in Dublin.

I thought the same, but it just shows the pull of the PL - that a recently relegated team (albeit one of the traditionally well supported clubs) has such a pull.

Limerick v Shels 1272

**nigel-harps1954** · 29/07/2016, 10:45 PM

671 in Finn Park for Harps v Wexford. If there was 5 Wexford fans that'd be the height of it.

Outside of the 'big' teams and maybe Leeds I'd say Newcastle would be next in line in Ireland in terms of following of English teams.

194 at Waterford v Cobh. It must be our lowest league crowd in a long time but no surprise considering recent form, general unhappiness with the club and Spraoi weekend festival events on last night.

We once got 6,079 against a Man Utd development squad. More because of the name really

1,694 in The Showgrounds. And one very loud drum.

**Jofspring** · 30/07/2016, 8:49 AM

Delighted with us having 1,272 last night when you consider Shels brought around 8 people. It's probably the worst travelling support I have seen from Shels.

**NeverFeltBetter** · 30/07/2016, 9:06 AM

Not a hint of a pitch invasion I assume?

Seen on Twitter that a couple of coach loads of Shels fans were refused entry to the MF.
