Didn't realise the stand held that amount, it is quite a high structure though, ok that prob adds up now, what would the split be home and away, 800+400 ?Quote:

Noticed a good few Dlk fans in the main stand when we scored, but your right, I saw photo of rovers visit and they did take up both sections. 350 max away prob right last night.Quote:

Would a club coach service from the town centre work? to try and entice more local support?
I think it was before my time but maybe the lads can correct me, I think that's something that was tried for a while but never took off. Personally I prefer the out of town approach as it means no traffic and it keeps the scumbags hanging around town away.Quote:

Jps does run a bus now from the pub to the ground free of charge for the section O lads it's a great serviceQuote:

Attendance was 2142 tonight, not too bad really
It's a good idea for them as they can draw in anyone interested in pre game boozing.Quote:

Yeah it's never easy getting people to go to two games in 3 days. We always get a healthy attendance against rovers so I'd say quite a few will skip the QF against pats on TuesdayQuote:

Drogs moved a match from July to June because of Europe last year for us aswell. We hammered them 6-0 in the end.Quote:

Well it was going to have to be re-arranged anyway because of Europe so Drogheda probably felt a Monday in May was a better bet than a Monday in late August/September. Other clubs have agreed to similar requests from clubs recently. It's definitely preferable for all to have the games early as the longer they leave it, the more complications can ariseQuote:

3,106 at Oriel Park tonight.
I think I heard 1116 at Deacy Park for visit of Bohs for a mighty exciting game. The Ryan Connolly goal was good, classy finish to great move.
Official attendance was 1,106 at Eamonn Deacy Park.
I would've hoped for 1,400 or 1,500 heading into the game. That figure is honestly a huge disappointment and it's a huge letdown for the club. We're playing really good stuff at the minute and we're getting results and those numbers just won't cut it. That was our lowest attendance of the season in the league I think. Very disheartened by the attendance.
If Galway keep playing an attractive style of football and market it to the people of Galway, attendances are bound to rise.Quote:

Biggest crowd of the season I think. Very good attendance considering we hadn't won a home since last October. Along with been bottom of the table and with just one win this season plus Cabinteely wouldn't be much of a crowd puller either.
Around 400 at most in Cobh. Around 20 Harps fans.
Lims/Cork 605 official
Sligo/Drogs 1048 official
Did Cork not look for (and get) 750 tickets?Quote:
