I have no idea where the 2,785 came from*. Might make sense if it excludes members, season ticket holders and assorted freebies
* Irish Times Journo.apparently
Why don't Bohs release official attendance figures? Ticketing is mandatory by licensing requirements, so releasing official figures should be very easy for all clubs to do.Quote:

From official website;
that said, id say the paying customers were 2785.Quote:
It was billed as a Bank Holiday Blockbuster – but the first big Dublin Derby of the season failed to live up to expectations as Bohemians and Shamrock Rovers played out a goalless draw in front of a strong 4,000 crowd at a bitterly cold Dalymount Park.
2054 att in OP
brilliant crowd for a mid week game.. good to see dundalk getting good crowdsQuote:

I thought 800 in Des Kelly, with Jodi @ 80% full, would equate to 2200ish so around 3000. Say the official figure excludes members/season tickets. Understand going with official attendance, just it was most likely more than that...
Good attendance for Limerick considering it's a Tuesday and the opposition.
Good attendance for limerick UCD had zero support there also with all junior clubs training Tuesdays alot of players who would of gone
Considering the day, weather and unglamourous opposition, I'd say that's a great crowd to get in the gate.Quote:

I was not, waiting for LoI football in Kerry and all that. ;) Looking forward to the games coming up in the next few weeks though.
I would agree, also and no offence to UCD, but its usually a good game to gauge your core support due to the limited away crowd.Quote:

As we are for keeping the crowd (just) over 2,000 for the second game, and with Drogs up next home, hopefully we can increase it more, especially as the game has been moved to Holy Thursday from Good Friday.:party:
Not remotely upset, keep up the good work.Quote:

Only 800 at the Brandy well according to ET, disaster if true.
even for a tuesday that is bad.. thought the 6-0 win the other night would of caused a bit of optimismQuote:

Malla a fooking Hide.:rolleyes:
The piece i quoted from the official site quotes 4000. Would assume that would put the matter to rest?Quote:
