Was gonna guess 800-900. If Shelsw posts something different on our forum I'll post it here.

Maybe 1,500 at Drogs v Cork City but I am only guessing as no idea how much the covered terrace holds. Seemed to be much smaller home & away support than recent years.
53 Galway fans there.
Official attendance for Pats v Rovers given as 3271.
This is DEFINITELY light - I went in by the archway and nobody asked for or took the relevant ticket from me from my season ticket book. It's reasonable to assume the same applied for at least some other season ticket holders. A mate of mine who bought a ticket on the night wasn't asked for it either so it wasn't just season ticket holders.
Stu, I'd suggest you take an average of the guesstimates of both Pats and Rovers fans rather than using the official figure.
Not sure what to do with that, to be honest.
The official figure is what we want clubs to release. I don't see how we can arbitrarily decide that one club's official figure, or even one particular figure, is too low and so reject it. I think if official figures are available, we'll have to use them, or else things will get overly messy.
And on that topic, apparently 323 was the official crowd for UCD-Longford last night, compared to the 410 posted earlier. Obviously, the difference is people like me, who would have been there but gone in for free as programme sellers. I'll go with the official figure though.
Appreciate where you're coming from but last night WAS fairly chaotic from a ticketing point of view. Ordinarily, after the explanation Stato gave about how our attendances are counted (after the Bohs game), I'd say go with the official figure. The circumstances that prevailed last night cast a bit of a question over the official figure, that's all I'm saying.
Would be interested to see anyone else's guesstimates that was there.
Extremely poor attandance at our game Vs. Waterford-500 at most I'd say. About 10 Waterford fans.
Worst crowd iv seen there since the don o'riordan days, id say 500 is about right.
I'll go for about 900 at our game. Being whitehall, I wouldn't be too sure though
No dodgey, you`re got your dates wrong, for the first time we went down (1998/99) we lost something like the last 8 and finished bottom and crowds def did drop to around this level for the last 3 or 4 months.
Also I`m remember many a sunday watching pats v dundalk in the 80`s in both harolds cross and the old richmond with 5 or 6 hundred in attendance being the norm.
Bottom line, I suppose, is that to take 4000 instead of 3321 is a difference of less than 700, which over the course of a 17-game season is a difference in the average of 40 people. From the point of view of consistency, I'd be happy enough to take that difference.
There are some attendances on the WY official site in the match reports.
Has 1500 for Limerick (agrees to here), 1250 for Kilkenny (going to put that in instead of the 1000 here) and that's it as far as I can see.
But there's no point comparing our unofficial crowds to, say, Pat's official crowds. You have to choose one or the other, otherwise it's not a fair comparison. I've no bother upping our figure to the amount that were at the game, but then we have to go back over all the official figures and change those too.
Athlone Town vs Finn Harps attendance was around 450. Nice crowd from Harps down as well. Hope they enjoyed their trip.
As it was confirmation day on both sides of town on Saturday this would have taken a few hundred of the crowd
Will post the official attendance when I hear it during the week.
City v Bohs apparently 2,700 in attendance.
bray v galway- brutal crowd for a brutal match- 800 tops - with about 30 galway fans who made a bit of noise...
My Sentiments exactly Frank...
Also there was 53 Galway fans in the "singing" Section.
There was also 2 families and a few others down the far left of the red seated stand.
Around 65-70 in Total.
Shocked by the crowd at Bray.I know 800 was posted here but id be very surprised if it was over 650. Like our game against Shams fair less at it than our 1st division encounters.
On a brighter note the Pitch was brilliant so credit to all at Bray easily the best we have played on so far but its surroundings lets it down big time.
both sides of camac bursting, the shed more packed than it has been in years. allow one empty block in the stand and a fair few on the inchicore end and 3200 odd is ridiculous. I went in at 7.30 and they did not check a single tcket under the archways, have both the stub and ticket in my pocket.
check out the video of the game on another thread to verify

Recent matches missing -
Derry v Bohs
Athlone v Harps
Monaghan v Cobh
Only saw a bit of Cork City v Pats on tv this morning & while could not see the main stand clearly enough I would guess attendance about 3000-3500.
Moving game forward a day must have knocked 1000-2000 off the total.
