Rovers still take the best numbers (seldom under 1,000) to Dalymount, and make the most noise[/ QUOTE]

Bit surprised that the figure for Rovers away support can dip to under a 1000 at this fixture.

To be fair, though. No-one takes near that amount of support to the Oval, bar Linfield.

Ports brought around 500 for the opening fixture last season. The rest varied from 4 (Omagh) - 250 (Ballymena).

As for every team in the league :rolleyes: . Thats my point, I believe every team in the EL is crap at home (same can be said for in england and I hear parkhead isnt the same buzz as it used to be) (cork not being any exception), and i do get to alot of neutral matches aswel but obviously when any crowd gets going at home the place can be buzzing - just doesnt seem to happen as often as people would like (am i correct in saying there was a thread on the cork official forum not so long ago giving out about the lack of atmosohere).

I'm just telling ye from what I've experienced, no need to take any offence by it - sensitive bunch :eek:

When I say seldom, I mean more or less never. They nearly always take over 1,000, and if it were less, it would still be over 900.

What I meant, though, was with this being your 'derby', "over a thousand" seems fairly small.

Unless, by "over a thousand" you mean 3-4000 :D

In the context of Rovers being homeless since 1987 (and haven't won a trophy since 1994), run shambolically, and on their last legs financially speaking for the past few years, the 1000+ (more than any other team) they bring to Dalymount is actually quite a lot.

is that a compliment? :D

there was over 12,000 at the cup semi between us in 2002.

crowds at the derby are usually between 3500 and 6000 depending on weather etc.

the linfield glens games get huge support. where are they all the other 30 weeks of the year?

There was officially 6,000 at that cup semi but I reckoned it was closer to 10,000.

Bohs/Rovers attendances have been dipping as low as I think about 2,500 (that Saturday game last year). Until the fighting elements are controlled and the eL violence media frenzy stops, attendances aren't going to grow much for what should be Dublin's proper "fans' derby" (we'll stick to hating Shels as a club for a bit longer if that's alright with you?).

Unless everyone just gives up on the fixture as a football match, we get the 3 points and 10,000 well dressed punters pay in for a bit of Northside v Southside handbags.

I hear ya, chief .... but we were talking in the context of derby fixtures. :)

Although our away support is solidly 750 plus wherever.

No matter, Im not getting into some sort of penis envy thing here - just thought that 1000 away at a derby was a tad on the disappointing side.

I reckon St Pats have been the best in the Brandywell so far this season. Rovers not bad either.
