The sun today

"Darius Kierans is set to step aside from first team matters when basement boys Drogheda appoint a FOURTH boss this season"

Like WTF

[legendz]

There should be a good crowd for the upcoming Boh's - Rovers game. The Tuesday night game should make for a good TV game as well. With the internationals a few days later, there won't be much other games clashing that night. Might be something to look at more often, League games on the Tuesday / Wednesday before Friday internationals.

He's be hard pushed to beat Daire Doyle's for Bray. About 750 at that one I'd say. Maybe 50 or 60 from UCD, although it's easier to get an impression of how many are in the Rehab Bingo stand when you're not actually in it!

Having saw both goals,Doyle's was a great goal but not a patch on McLeans, not even in the same timezone!

The Grand Prix in Darts is on Sky, a few may want to watch that as it is in Dublin.

Not wishing to rub salt in Bohs wounds, but thats some drop (630) on their average from last year, as defending champs, cup semi finalist and almost in contention for the title all year.

We are down 430 based on these figures, I`d prob agree with that, hardly winning a game (or rather losing most at home) over the summer didnt help matters, maybe the last 3 home games will see an increase on the summer drop off as we appear to have finally found some sort of 'consistent' form.

Decent figures from Cork/Derry in the FD, and you have to take your hat off to the Tallaght figures.

Bohs' figure for last year is massively inflated. I remember reading last year an official average halfway through the season and seeing that it was a good bit lower than the figure on here. I'd still imagine they've dropped a bit though.

[Dodge]

This year figure is massively inflated too...

It's interesting to note how much their attendances went up when they stopped giving official figures (i.e. the jump from 2008 to 2009). I think that indicates just how wrong fan estiamtes can be.

See my estimate of the Bray crowd on Friday for more proof!
