Really? What happened?

Well it turns out that the reason for pushing it back to Thursday wasn't a conspiracy to ruin Limerick and an opportunity to pair it with their super-dooper-FAI event type thing (which I believe was to do with officially opening the full-size astroturf pitch or something to that effect). :)

So it would appear that the Bonners and Delaneys of this world are a bigger draw than the David Freemans!

Maybe 450 at Monaghan - Limerick.

Your rear end in parsley. Official figure was 832. They were spread out throughout the ground though.

It wasnt just about the opening of the Astro pitch by the way. There was a week long festival of football in the run up to tomorrow's FAI AGM in Monaghan and as it was the first time the Festival had come to a county with an LOI team it was only logical that there would be a game as part of that.

Jayz, fair dues. Always nice to see there's some potential!

When you consider that there were only about 30/40 Limerick there, it shows there is a potential, we need to get some FAI legends here every week to keep them coming back!

Hopefully we can build on it. The whole purpose of the Festival of Football week is to showcase what is going on in the county at every level of football and to use the publicity & good will of it all to build and make football stronger.

Fingers crossed!

Its the 3rd year that the FAI have brought the "roadshow" on tour for the AGM & we were delighted to have them here. Phase 2 of our regional development centre is finished & opened officially last night by John Delaney.

Dundalk V Derry, I was expecting a lot more but the crowd was given as 2,100 I think. Cant understand why it was so low for such a high profile game.

I would have estimated no more than 2,000 so this sounds about right.

About 1500 at Bray and Bohs

There was basically nobody on 3 sides of the ground and the stand wasn't full. There may have been 400 odd people in your pub I suppose.

I would be amazed if this proves to be correct!

Who gave this 2,100 figure?

That's the big question. Thought there was about 3-400 more there last night..:confused:

I think I got the figure of 2,100 wrong for Dundalk v Derry last night, appears there was more. So my post can be discounted now.

I would think it was around 2600-2800.

That's an improvement on their recent attendances.

I'd say 2,800 in Richmond tonight, about 1,300 Rovers.

You really think there were more Pats fans than Rovers fans in Richmond tonight? Are you blind - even the lads over on your forum are saying the home fans were well outnumbered.

Yeah I noticed that. That's just my estimate, fair enough if others disagree.

1250 at Galway Utd - Cork City.

with about 70-80 cork fans


That's an improvement on their recent attendances.

ya, BUT, with the performance put in by some of the players, as well as truely the worst ref in the business (Hanley), its going to be a struggle to get everyone coming back again.

130 someone told me in Kildare. I was thinking about 150 so it's fairly close.

Read it was 653 for shels against mervue. Its not a good sign for this divisions attendances when the best supported club who are also top get this sort of crowd, even if it was mervue

That's down about 300 from their usual attendance. Was there something else on in the area or what?

At least 5000 at The Showgrounds tonight.

I'm not good with numbers, though.

Well, don't beat yourself up. I'd imagine that you're only 1 out.

There should only be 2 zeros instead of 3!!!

Really? That's a great crowd. How many Drogs do you estimate were at it?

The night is only young yet;)

Meh, around the crowd i had expected, probably about 1400-1500? I'm not great at estimating though, so expect them to come in there droves and argue about a few hundred people.

Not a clue how many drogs were down, couldn't see from where i was ag seasamh.

Wow, look at the damage a simple joke can do. :)

About 40 or so Drogs. Good for a Sunday night.

about 200 in Flancare yesterday for the Longford - Waterford match.

Longford are a jokeshop. Appalling and amateurish set up indicates that its only a matter of time for their future in senior football is questioned. To say Cronin has a huge job is an understatement.

How do they keep going on paltry attendances like that?

As we have cut our outgoings to a minimum. Simple really. Keep eroding the outstanding crippling debt and keep things going on the pitch. If we can survive the next season or two then things will ease a lot.

Yes I know, but at least you could afford to put batteries in the electronic substitute board and clean the place up a bit. There was bird sh1t all over the seats.

One or two said that but its difficult for some to guess because Pats fans were spraed out and Rovers were in the shed. We'll get official figures soon (including away tickets sold)

My own guess would be that the crowd was a way down on that 2,800 figure. The shed holds less than 1,000 when full too...

Is the substitute board not for the match officials to sort? Genuine question btw I don't know.

There's always massively oversized boards in Kildare, so I assume from that that it's a club responsibility. Or else the league are playing an ongoing joke on Kildare.
Partizan

We should be able to sit where we please in the away section which offers the best view and not run the gauntlet of mounting piles of bird sh1t. It doesnt cost too much to brush the steps, ground and wipe the seats with a cloth. I couldnt sit in my seat it was that bad. Its not too much to ask for a clean sit now is it.

I would have said their was more than 200 there. (300-400!) In case you haven't noticed,we're second last in the table! Waterford are up near the top and have a much bigger catchment area and they get wonderful crowds of... 500ish... WOW:D

The away section is in the terrace. Who wants to sit at an away football match? And in case you haven't noticed, the stand is pretty big, there was plenty of other seats around, considering ye brought nearly no one to the game and your challenging for the title!
