Seemed to be a good crowd in Longford with the FAI promotion yoke. Maybe 2,000?

Sure its always the way TG, when Harps going well we could be one of the better supported teams in LOI.

I remember hearing stories of 3-4k at Harps Wanderers First Div. games in the mid nineties when we were both challenging for promotion.

At least, we have always been well supported when going well. Hopefully we can be getting our good crowds in the prem next season :cool:

08/09/07 Cobh Ramblers Vs. Athlone Town. If it is that match you are missing I recall a figure of 699 being mentioned down there
If it was the match at the end of Series 1 played on the 5/05/07 I think there was about 750 at it looking back at my video of the match but would be sure Marco keeps attendance figures

Had me totally confused stu as to what match you wanted
Series 1 05/05/07 Cobh Ramblers Vs. Athlone Town
Series 2 07/07/07 Athlone Town Vs. Cobh Ramblers
Series 3 08/09/07 Cobh Ramblers Vs. Athlone Town Att 699
Series 4 10/11/07 Athlone Town Vs. Cobh Ramblers
Now I see what you mean :D
UCD-Waterford - 257
I presume that was your own headcount? Do you realise you can't include players & officials ;)
Looked like about 50 people in the stand based on TV3 pictures. I know you have trouble with crowds but that is bad for the 1st division.

Main Stand was full. Uncovered seating was about 70% full and then there were maybe 40-50 aourn the ground. I don't know the figures for the stands but I know one thing: Rovers had the bulk of the crowd. :(

Naturally.
Main stand wasnt full. Would say about 80%. Game over after second sending off. Away section needs a roof.

1500 at the Bray-Rovers game.
Covered stand was about 75% full, so about 700 in it and uncovered stand had about 700 in it, another 100 or so standing.
Not a bad crowd considering the horrible weather, it being a big champions league night and it being the day of Brian Murray's funeral. Fair play to all who made it to the game, added to a great atmosphere.
Uncovered stand will be covered from what i've heard, hopefully before the start of next season.

Shels v Harps was 767. No word on Shels v Kildare official yet though it was pretty poor
I wasn't at this game and tried to get an official attendance from the club but my email was ignored but was told by a reliable fan it was a poor enough crowd,less than 1000.

2935 at Terryland tonight according to the brother and according to Galway Bay fm. Decent crowd for a key match.
One of our biggest crowds of the year. Definitely over 4000, others saying 4500.

it was a big crowd alright but I was in the New Stand and I have to say there was no atmosphere to speak of!

move over to the real fans then.So the guys in the new stand don't pay to get in then no?:rolleyes:
I think die hard would be a better word. I couldnt believe it when the new stand started emptying with 10 minutes still to play, unbelieveable !

I think 690 was the official attendance at UCD-Cork, seemed like a fair bit more.

felt closer to 1000. Good college crowd aswell, free beer offer worked. though i had to pay with my DIT student card. UCD unluckly not to snatch another back too.

Stand was emptier than it looked; I reckoned 700-800 from looking at it (though hoped it'd hit 1000).
Promo worked well; ending may have ensured a few will return. 289 students in total, though obviously all getting in for free.

Free beer promotion and still only 289 students! Great idea but not exactly sustainable I reckon!
Re Galway new stand emptying; in fairness I think what happens is they all make their way to the gate so they can beat the crowds at the final whistle. If you watch the gate at the Dyke road you'll see very few actually leave the ground before the final whistle.
GUFCT: Very controversial! Real fans! Id say a hell of a lot of those in the new stand are season ticket holder of the older generation! Im sure you said it tongue in cheek.

The thing is, that didn't cost the club any money. The free beer was provided by the sponsors and made available by the student bars. We had nothing to lose and the promotion certainly worked to some extent. Apart from the League Cup final of 2005 the club hasn't been promoted on the college in years. You now have a few hundred people who came who never went before. Hopefully a few will be back and the word will have spread a little bit about the club. A home draw in tomorrow's cup draw would help as well.
I think 690 was the official attendance at UCD-Cork, seemed like a fair bit more.
About 100 people outside the stand so if 590 inside it (what is the capacity?) then that would be correct. 100 City fans at most.
Been going to Belfield for years but dawned on me last night how it just does not look like a football ground. Its the overlooking apartments & trees that make it feel like a park which I feel affects the football. Hopefully the new ground will improve things.

4,500 according to the Radio
Would have got more if you didnt clash with Munster down the road. For example the saturday night. More away fans and maybe some of the Munster fans. Seemed daft to have two different games on less than a mile apart the same time.
BTW great crowd in Galway. Fair play. Looks like Longford staying the thursday night didnt work.
