Some day, when we rob Stephen Kenny back with our bottomless pit of money! My aim for Town is 8th, think it's manageable, tonight will give us a good indication if it's possible or not.

Fair play to the Cork public for turning out in such numbers to see Dundalk play.

I always said that the Cork people know their football.

Attendance announced as 6900. Great to see. Must be the biggest league attendance in a good few seasons, maybe since 2005 league decider?

6900 is the "official" capacity

Rumors of city fans with tickets and season tickets being turned away by the guards as "there was no room"

**White Horse** · 25/04/2015, 4:31 AM

Strange that. There looked to be a fair few empty seats in the ground. We saw that in the last "sell out" game at the end of last season. Fans don't necessarily go where they are supposed to. Seeing that a lot of fans got into the ground early, surely they could have directed those fans to the empty seats.

A game like that probably would have necessitated allocated seat numbers.

964 official for Harps v Shels, not including around 150 kids and academy players.

**White Horse** · 25/04/2015, 8:47 PM

Did Cork insist that season ticket holders had to get a match day ticket or did they make an assumption that x% would turn up?

Some Cork fans are insisting that the match was oversold.

yeah definitely a case of people not taking up a seat preferring to stand to the left and right of the donie force stand.. was a little surprised in the middle of the vocal part of the shed in front of me there was about 10 seats empty in a row.. great to see that attendance there and it looked great on tv.. shame we lost on the night though

Guestimate at the Carlisle Grounds, 350ish. Around 60 very happy Galway fans.

How come this page never seems to get the Drogheda United attendances on a timely basis? On a number of occasion we had figures for all games except for those played at United Park.. Was there anybody there?

**outspoken** · 26/04/2015, 9:37 AM

I'd make a guess on Drogheda game if I could but it's a very hard stadium to judge. 5 minutes before KO the place was empty but decent crowd both sides once it was underway.
