I'd make the assumption the above was the attendance between Blues and Wexford.
From the clips on soccer republic it's hard to see how the figure was anything more than 800. Looked a dreadful evening weather wise, but the main stand appeared less than 1/2 full and any area camera facing looked quite sparsely attended.Quote:

Yeah it's a lot harder to judge than usual coz everyone was right at the very back of the stand to stay out of the rain but if the club says its 1000 il roll with itQuote:

Marketing Director must have been on holidays...
Very drastic and disappointing drop in attendance.. if the torrential rain that was falling all day continued then I'd understand but the rain stopped around 3 hours before kickoff. I would've been happy with 4000. Just shows what losing a big game in this league does, the bandwagoners jump off. Letting a 2 goal lead slip was just as disappointing but at least we got the late goal to win it.Quote:

No, no its notQuote:

Not really. Shels have had a difficult start, especially at home. Our crowd would be similar if we'd done the same.
But, you'd imagine Cabinteely would have brought a decent enough crowd up with them. It's only the other side of the city, that'd be the difference in Harps and that game.
For what it's worth, a bit of a drop in Finn Park tonight too, probably around 750 or 800 there. Bit of rain in the evening didn't help matters.
How many of them were Cabinteely fans tho?Quote:

I can't believe that someone who follows this league would be overly surprised at any attendance figure unless it was in the higher brackets.
Won't be too long until 400 will be coming to the showgrounds to watch us by the looks of it.
About 400 at Drogs v Bray. Worst crowd of the year.
Decent turnout given the rumours that it had been potponed!Quote:

A drop of 4,000 is very significant and very unusual, but so was the capacity of 6,900 v Dundalk. That was never going to be sustained, and it was match no one locally was going to miss. To be fair Cork have another home game on Monday night.Quote:

Awful attendances up there this year, how can ye keep surviving with crowds like that. (That's not a dig it's incredible ye are still going with attendances that bad)Quote:

Down to the real hardcore now. We need a few performances and results to get people back.
774 in Finn Park. Disappointing.
Ah there was more than that surely?Quote:

250-300 would have been my guess alright.Quote:

Extratime have estimated 1,400 in Longford tonight.

Longford fans will know better, but I would find it hard to believe there was over 1k.
Stand hold 1500. Attendance last night was about 1200 imo.Quote:

yeah I doubt anyone expects us to match that attendance this season unless were in the hunt at the business end of the season.. under 3k was disappointing but yeah still a healthy attendance compared to most.. think it will be lower again on MondayQuote:
