It's a load of Bollíx, our game with Sligo is the same this week, how the fuk do they expect the Sligo lads to get down for that

Yeah it's a bit of a nightmare for travelling fans but anyone that finishes work/college/school at 5 should be able to make the game, any time after that and you would struggle tho.

I still expect a decent Dundalk crowd.

Even for home fans. If you finish work at 5.30 it probably takes more than 90 minutes to get home, get something to eat, and then back out to the game. It won't affect hardcore fans but it's tough for casual fans so crowds are alays lower with that 40 minute difference

Extratime reported an attendance of 845 at Richmond last weekend.

I read 1,200 elsewhere. I'd have guessed 1,100 myself

I'm always amazed at Extratime estimates for attendances as most press boxes are in the Main Stand and it's impossible to guess an attendance unless you can see all of the crowd. Their estimates are usually well off the actual attendances either too high or too low.

Apparently 845 was the official attendance.

2114 at Oriel for visit of Bohs, you would expect maybe 300-400 more?

855 at Thomond.

He is very eager to get involved and comes too deep looking for the ball. He's playing in areas where he cannot damage the opposition. Needs to calm down and be more patient.

Thought it might have been a bit closer to 600. The stand was certainly more than half full. Would probably settle on 550 though.

Really can't understand why the club can't/don't give attendances to put this to bed once and for all. The figure given for the Sligo game there and on here has already screwed up the real average attendance figure.

I don't know, thought it was a decent crowd, and was actually 300 or so up from the last Bohs game at home in July, wasn't the best of nights, think Bohs had 150 or so up, pleasing to see it over 2k.

743 at Waterford United v Wexford Youths. Good crowd by our standards.

690 at Athlone v Cork according to Extratime.
