Confusing the old regime with the new are you? Since the new board took over post Ollie we've been attempting to clear the debts of the previous board and attempting to live within our means by paying sensible wages and covering any gaps in the budget with extensive fund raising. Your model is crap crowds, massive wages, sustained lack of success and sugar daddyness. And no sign of it changing if you do get into the PD.
Thats hilarious. I didnt say anything about old or new regimes. I dont really care. It was simply a joke that didnt even require an answer.

Did I mention Harps attendance was 431 on Friday night, it was against Longford and I counted them all one by one by walking around the ground.

Edited it.
Where the mistake was made was, it actually wasnt me who mentioned wumming so maybe you and he can learn to read also.
He didn't accuse you, or anyone else, of wumming. You claimed that he did, quoting a specific post you misinterpreted. He may have screwed up too, but that doesn't alter my point in the slightest: you misread his post.
But kudos, the defences, 'But he did it too!' and "No, you [insult]!" bring back fond memories of my childhood.

Relax ffs
I know I miss read it which is why i edited it as soon as i seen my mistake(which is what i was doing just as you posted your comment).
I did mention it was now edited in my post.
I guess you have never missread a post on here either.
If you had taken the time to read the previous before blazing in to the defense of your chum you might have noticed why there was confusion from both of us in the first place. Plus the comments about learning to read are not warranted which is why i replied with similar.

Yeah I was thinking could we not do this like the POTM thing where you post attendence figures in one thread and discuss them in another? Its kind of hard to keep track of figures with all the arguing.

Was tried last year, I think. The discussion thread became the attendances thread. I might just start deleting/moving non-attendance stuff.
About 120 at Mervue Harps last night.
Hate to say it, but you have to wonder what business they have in the league. In their first season when there should be momentum they have no support.
10/10 though for the big laugh at about 44 minutes. "Stewards to half time positions please".
How we laughed.
Incidentally, that figure was by 'manual' count.
Very feckin weird the whole experience of being at a game like that, not like LOI football at all.

+1. Now that the person who keeps track of things is a mod for the LOI forum it shouldn't be a problem.
Dundalk V Cork - Slightly over 1700 - Official.
Dundalk V Cork - Slightly over 1700 - Official.
Possibly our lowest of the season, what a stupid idea changing to a Sat night for this one !
Granted Cork had less than 100, but a shocking crowd all the same.
We had no choice, it had to happen on the Saturday. Saturday football just doesn't work for us.

Fear of incurring the wrath of fans of the proverbial 'smaller clubs' aside, I would agree with you that it's hard to know/see what Mervue bring to the league.
Yes - they're there on merit. But they play in a small city that already has a long-established LOI team, and they don't even have the decency to play in different colours than Galway ! :eek: :)
What a rubbish derby Mervue vs Galway would be if we ever got one. Both sets of fans in their home ground dressed in maroon and singing for 'United'. United indeed - crazy stuff....
If only we could get Cobh or Kilkenny back....

Bout 170 at UCD-Monaghan.
(BTW, next Mervue comment gets a split thread. That's not to discourage it, obviously; just to keep it separate)

at a guess there was 800 at our game 80 travelled up from bray.. it was easily our biggest gate of the season and the biggest in section o too..

What's the reason for that ? I'd say for a good few LOI clubs it would probably be the other way around.

I would say Friday night football suits Harps better too, attendance wise. It is always a topic of debate though.

1,100 or 1,200 at the last Sligo Rovers versus Galway match in Terryland. Around 1,700-1,800 at both the Dundalk games in the Showgrounds.

My guess for Mons-Shels would be around 300-350. Im not great at guessing crowds though.

240 at the limerick athlone game
You were close Red Bellied-1092 was the offical figure at the Galway Sligo game.

I think more 900-1000 at the town game the crowd spread out a lot but definitly biggest of the season by hundreds:)

The Jodi was over 3/4 full for Bohs-Bray 2, say 2400, maybe. Not ideal, but better than nothing! I'd say there were less than 1500 people left after a bunch of the Bohs fans walked out half way through the second half

You really should tell the posters on the Boh's forum the good news. There's a thread running there at the moment where the consensus is that crowds are well down on recent seasons and "we now have a support of about 1200 fans".

I think this is the first year Bohs' figures haven't been official. Would be interesting to see if that's what's driving the numbers up.

Taking away season ticket holders and children 1200 would be an optimistic figure.

900 fans walked out? Didn`t notice that!

Why would you take away season ticket holders from estimating core support?
1200 is a very pessimistic figure. Theres a lot of criticism( some of which is justified) among a section of Bohs fans that certain newly elected Officer/s has./have not pulled out the stops in promoting games so there may be an under estimation of crowds in some quarters to prove a point.
No more than any other club, Bohs have to work hard at maintaining crowds beyond the "hard core", never mind increasing them, despite the successes on the field.

A huge number left half-way though the second half, perhaps in protest at the ref (He made a few controversial decisions, some I agree with, some I don't, but now's not the place to discuss them!). They were mainly from down near block A, where we were, though, it looked like the people down the western end of the stand were staying to the end.
There was almost nobody in block B come the end, despite it being nearly full at kick-off.
I wasn't judging, just passing on the information. When my club struggles to break 1000 people for big home games, I can't really give out about other clubs' attendances!

780 at Terryland for St Pat's game. Smallest crowd for a game in the League since we returned to Premier Division.
Sweetest victory though. :D
Patrick Dunne
18/09/2009, 10:23 PM
I heard this figure at the end of the match, couldn't believe it. The new stand seemed to be 2/3 full (1,000) and there at least 200 people in other parts of the ground.
In order for the reported figure to be correct, the new stand would have to be half-full, with no-one else anywhere in the ground.

Looking at the game on tg4 now the new stand was very, very empty.

Not having a guess at the Bohs - Dundalk game last night as i dont know the stadium that well, But crowd did not look to good. The first 2-3 blocks in the Jodi had about 100 people in them total.
