FIRST DIVISION
Athlone - 571 (670; 421; 316; 291)
Dundalk - 1,350 (1,406; 1,078; 474; 591)
Kildare - 429 (243; 265; 186; 298)
Limerick - 529 (670; 364; 669; 188)
Longford - 767 (885 PD; 681 PD; 1,004 PD; 1,131 PD)
Monaghan - 180 (292; 204; 183; 182)
Shels - 1,210 (888; 1,690 PD; 1,949 PD; 2,158 PD)
Sporting Fingal - 904 (N/A)

Wexford - 1,458 (810)
Premier Division average - 2,397 (1,687; 1,535; 1,759; 1,853)
First Division average - 853 (722; 570; 520; 512)
Overall average - 1,727 (1,235; 1,070; 1,195; 1,218)
FD is an average crowd in the First Division; PD is an average crowd in the Premier Division. I've only put that in where the attendances was when the club was in a different one to their current division.
Those missing games in the premier should bring the averge up a good bit. Its looking good at this stage (healthy increases in averages)
Rovers - Bohs I saw estimates from 4300 up to 5,500. I'd say about 4,500 myself, maybe a little more.
Richmond Road barn was 40% full, Ballybough end was pretty much 95% full, and the lego new stand was packed full. Riverside had between 1,500 to 2,000 in it.Quote:

(4,300? Whoever guessed that was havin a laugh. Too accurate...)
Rovers release official figures though; we'll find out soon enough hopefuly.
Was RTE match report I think. You probably know the ground better than I do so maybe it was over the 5,000.Quote:

Rovers-Bohs was 4,300
I stand corrected so. But still believe there was no way there was less than 5,000 if Tolka holds 9,900... I've pics to show the ground was definately at least half full... (Please note- I would count heads the fact that I am not a UCD supporter is a major inhibiting factor)Quote:

Far to early to say though.Quote:

Happens every year.
The Rovers - Bohs had 4,300 who paid at the gates. However, for this fixture, it excludes season tickets and freebees who were not counted because of the large crowd! Actual attendance was > 4,300 but is a guess! I would probably go with 4,500. I would also have guessed approx 5,000 based on the footage SRFC TV had from the game but apparently it was less.Quote:

I was disappointed in the crowd, given it was a top of the table clash.Quote:

Down to 6,500 nowadays.Quote:

I'd have thought a bit less, from both sides tbh. As son as the official number is given i'll post hereQuote:

Shels are very glad to take our money. Looking forward to seeing how you begin coping without that source of income from 2009 onwards. Sorry if the truth hurts, but the place is falling apart and you know it.Quote:

OT, but what are Shel's plans for a ground in the medium term? When do they have to move out of Tolka (notwithstanding that the current property slowdown might delay things) and where do they plan to go then?
Galway United V Cork City
official attendance 1410
(including about 150 City fans)
Ouch. Goodbye Galway...
717 at UCD-Drogheda, although I would have given an extra 100 or so.
Well 500 odd less than last season so we might as well pack it in now and go home.Quote:

We're six games into the season ffs.....:rolleyes:
I was taking the **** a bit there.:DQuote:

I was being slightly sarcastic/drunk. But 500 times E20 is E10k lost in one match, which you lost badly (by all accounts), which means the trend's unlikely to reverse next match anyway. Given you lost E80k last year, you can't afford to be going down E10k a match really.Quote:

I though it was a little less than this.
When we played ye up there last year, it was a tuesday and there were oer 3000 there.Quote:

Looked that way when Drogheda scored, very clear dividing line between people cheering and not. How many were on each side I don't know but our side of the roofed area was pretty full.Quote:
