Yeah I reckon there was 1,482 paying in (including season tickets) and then a few more from the underage teams that were there for half time. Think there was 5 underage teams down tonight. Good crowd up from Cork as well

I would guess that there was about 850 at the Dundalk V Bray match tonight.That figure will crash to about 400 next week as the crisis in OP intensifies.
I'd rather be bitter than ignorant.Quote:

Well, they aren't paying for Terryland right?
In fairness to SD Galway I did a head count at kick off (I'm like that ;) ) and twas 94, stragglers probably brought it up to around 120. Definitely more Limerick than home fans there though, the whole of one side was Limerick and there was a few scattered in the main stand and at either end. Eerie sort of a place we were making random noises in the first half just to see how far they'd travel. (we're like that ;) )
Just to pre-empt the Galway fans, we know...rubbish attendance, FAI fudge, etc...etc....
There were a few in GUFC gear at that Limerick game last night too, presumably there just to count the crowd.
PS) I was amused/appalled that the GUFC crest on the sign down behind the goal was just covered with a sticker of the SD one.
Jesus, thats not great is it? I know our lack of traveling support wouldn't have helped but thought they'd have more than that, some very good attendances at the RSC this year I'm told.Quote:

Looked more than that there last night, I thought 550-600, ah well.
2823 in The Showgrounds
I'm not sure I get the surprise at generally appauling 1st Division attendances. It gets zero coverage on what's supposed to be the LoI show, gets little print media coverage and we were even treated to a thread on here wanting it farmed off to a separate forum. Shock horror, clubs in the 1st struggle to get floating fan interest even when they're doing ok...
That a great crowd for a game that was on at stupid time.Quote:

Back in 2005 when they won the First Division their final game of the season against Athlone Town the attendance was 5,000 from what I remember.Quote:

I think it was 3,650 for the European game last year with seats in behind the goals
How can somebody still be shocked by SD attendances?Quote:

Well, we knew they wouldn't be good. I thought it would be in the 200-300 range mostly, due to a lot of people not really understanding what happened and that SD Galway are just Devon.Quote:

Approx 2,500 in Jackman to watch Limerick vs Liverpool XI. About 300 Limerick fans and 2,200 local Liverpool fans. Hopefully the club made a few bob out of it. Was a pretty well put together match day in fairness.
State of the Limerick people.

Ya a good few regulars I know didn't bother with it either. Come to think of it, saying 300 Limerick fans might even have been generous.Quote:

People coming into the shop all day looking for "Liverpool match" tickets.
On the plus side the set up in Jackman was decent in fairness.
Happens everywhere. Least Limerick got a few quid off themQuote:

Thats not bad for the Setanta Cup as most fans of clubs claim to not care about it. Are St Pats unhappy with their crowds ? Bohs, with a very weak squad are still getting more supporters turning up at their matches than them.
I think thats the lowest attendence for the SC final ever. Not great considering the final was local to Crusaiders and not too far from Derry
It seemed like a loud atmosphere at any rate.
having been at every pats games, and a couple of Bohs games, thats not close to being true. Despite what their figures might indicate.Quote:

Not really sure what you are on about Dodge, are you saying that the Pat`s figures are under reported?Quote:

700 - season ticket /members/associate members, I doubt even Dodge is claiming that we are getting attendances of 6-700.
Understandable that Pats would be disappointed with their crowds given that they are challenging for the league and now playing decent football for once ( except when they play Bohs)
Dodge, perhaps you should clarify that statement. I know Bohs provide official verified figures so either Pats are giving incorrect figures or you are talking crap.Quote:
