What a fantastic night
6,100 people at a LOI game and many many more looking for tickets
Unreal atmosphere that will surely get barstoolers more involved in going to matches if they watched it on tele
Well done Rovers

Well done Rovers
Thought the game was poor and the atmosphere could have been a hell of a lot better considering the game it was. I was dissapointed with the noise levels from both sides.Quote:

Did the ground hold 8,000?Quote:

Yes, it did hold 8 thousand. But no, we didn't get that regularly.Quote:

I presume this is how we hear about the glory days of teams regularly getting crowds of 20,000.
60,000.Quote:

Before the Shed end was redeveloped it could hold 8,000 handily enoughQuote:

All Bar UCD that is, they never got big crowds, they are not a proper football team. Never 'ave been, never will be. ;)Quote:

Yeah, flicked through that just now. I had thought that 2005 was as good if not better than 2004 but obviously i was wrong.Quote:
