2011 attendances

[nigel-harps1954]

870 at Limerick- Monaghan.

Thats a great crowd for Limerick but I'd say a lot went away disappointed after the result.

Shels I'd imagine would be awfully disappointed with their crowds this season. Practically running away with the league and still fairly paltry attendances by their standard.

Harps v Sheliban in last weeks game - 543

That's a good crowd for us for a game against Salthill.
I wonder what next season will behold?

They SWARMED for the exits after the second goal. If we keep half that crowd for the Salthill game we'll be doing very well. Happens every time we've had a crowd the last season or two...

I wasn't able to get to the game myself but ForzaForth reckoned there was 250 at it. I would usually agree with his estimates

No wum intended but would that Derry estimate (if correct) for last night be considered on the low side considering the club could have gone top of the league? Still a decent number btw but I'd have thought a crowd of 3,000+ considering their fans hav'nt got European games to save for, etc. Interesting to see how many are at the top of the table clash at Sligo tonight considering both sets of hardcore fans within both clubs will have Europe on their minds. That being said I appreciate people have bigger priorities for any spare cash with kids, holidays, etc.

[Candystripe]

I don't have the official figure for last nights game yet but seemed to be slightly higher than the shams game two weeks ago, probably due to it being a nice night, the freebies from the Foyle cup teams and the chance to go top. On the down side it was the start of the un-official Derry holiday fortnight.

Pity it was a **** poor game.

Not always a reliable source, but the Star has 256 down for it.

[maksimir]

RTE has the Sligo v St. Pats crowd at 2,750 - a bit of a neat figure and probably rounded down by GAAites.

Ya about that id say.

[red bellied]

Crowd looked about 3,000 last night in Showgrounds. Extratime.ie has 2,750 so that's probably an official figure. Around 100-150 from Pats.

[Acornvilla]

town v cork, about 400 extratime agrees

[punkrocket]

In addition to Candystripe's points, I know quite a few people who'd usually go to a game but were heading over to Draperstown to get their tents up early (and what not) at the Glasgowbury music festival.
AAh..so much to do so little time to do it

It is when you consider they have a virtually zero away support. Rovers had an average of 1,100 when they were in the First, what would they be getting if they were stuck in it for as long as we have and they have sooper dooper support, or so they say. Some of the attendances have been a let down though when you consider how well we're doing, so next season I fear they may not be all that bigger than this seasons. The FAI has damaged us as a club no end.
