Didn't look that many at the game in Terryland. Good crowd from Pats
Bray - Rovers, very good crowd, all the papers are saying around 3500, but I'd say more around 2700 figure, good rovers support, nearly filled the whole stand.

There was at least 300 standing at the back of the stand.
Small crowd at the car-park end (100 ?), but the other two sides of the
ground contained 1-3 rows of standing punters at all places, and more at the
clubhouse.
Would have estimated it at 2700-3000 before attendance announced.
As Paddyfield said, decent attendance, but Good Friday/league leaders/good away following swelled the crowd considerably.
We have Longford at home on Friday next, 1500 would probably be a decent turnout for this one. Connacht Rugby playing at the same time.
Aye massive crowd from Dundalk in Monaghan last night, shame the standard of play was terrible!! Useless with crowds so going to let someone else put a figure on it
I'd say there was about 900 there.
About 1200 at Wexford today I think,,thats good considering the footballers and hurlers both had big games!
waterford seem to be up by a couple of hundred this season so far
He's talking about the attendences being bumped up by Galway last year to make it look like more people came to the games. I remember the first Limerick visit of the season to Terryland where we counted about 700-800 people, but the official attendence given a few days later had it around the 1,300 mark I think, which was just a complete lie. Throughout the season away fans of other clubs made the point that they noticed similiar things happening, but Galway kept on(and apparantly keep on) denying itQuote:

PS I will be away next week. The official attendence at the Galway Uniited V Longford Town game on April 13th will be 2031. Longford will bring 63 fans and Galway United will lose another home game by a late goal.
Somethings are just too predicatble jebus.
-------------------
Galway Utd v Pats video so judge for yourself the attendance...
Well if there were 2 of you maybe one of you counted one half of the ground and another counted another half giving you 1400-1600 which wouldn't be far off the mark.Quote:

I guess it's a bit easier at Limerick's games... Does the dog the 2 men bring along count as a spectator? What about the guys who had to run around the other side of the wall to collect the ball so the match could restart?!
We don't charge for dogs :rolleyes:Quote:

Anyhoo, nice to see the first division average up so high even without Galway and Rovers. Would be a lot higher too without Monaghan and Kilkenny
Leave the Galway Lads alone! we all now know their bumping up of attendences is due to them seeing double due to their funny water! remember to boil the water lads! concern are digging a well as we speak. Thanks to the people of Uganda for their kind donations.
