another smart arse post to shels......
do you lot not get bored???
Ok theres a theory!!
Because we are top of the league and are playing at home to the team that is the only one with a chance of catching us and that its only our 2nd game on a friday night in over 3 months and that it wasnt on the TV. People may have been interested????
Are your crowds the same when you about to win leagues as they are when your going for the intertoto spot place?!! :)

There is nothing strange about 4000-5000 at a 1st V 2nd 5 games from the end of the season in a game where your team could more or less win the league....
If we were playing Dublin City then fair enough,,
There may be nothing strange about it, but I wouldn't say there is nothing strange about it. The Drogs game was a top two clash as well and had only half that crowd. There'd have been more Drogs fans at that game than Cork fans tonight (for reasons of proximity), so where the extra 2,000 - Shels' average crowd - is coming from is strange. Your last home crowd is in as 4,500 v. Bohs - are you saying that Cork had as many fans as Bohs at the game despite having 200 miles more to travel? I'm not openly calling it into question, it's just a case of professional scepticism. If you can't take that, well...Quote:

Not very far off it I'd say. And I'd say there was more Shels fans there than at the Bohs match if anything. I'd guess the crowd was roughly the same as the Bohs game.Quote:

they had over a 1000 maybe 1500 max..
Didnt see tonight game but was told that Cork had a good crowd and it was probably just under the 1000 mark in riverside (cork + neutrals maybe??)
Then your only talking about a 500 difference in the shels figure which because it was closer to the end of the league i can understand. Also Bohs were the only fans who really thought that game was a title decider!! This one although more important to you was also important to us...
I really cant see why 4000-5000 is a shock :confused:
1000 City fans in tolka last night, 4000 is a fair enough estimate for the overall attendance.
800 at Pats-Longford.
BTW, the lads in McDowells last night were adamant there was at least 1200 at Pats-Drogs last Monday where I'd said 800 or 900 (can't remember which) so Stu, you may want to revise your calculation of our average.
I would agree with you there Doctor. We played Rovers there the friday before we played yous and there was about 700/800 at that. Certainly Pats v Drogs had a bigger crowd than that. The Drogheda Independent gave it as 1,200 and they seem to get official figures.
200 at Cobh-UCD
I'd say about 1400 at Waterford United V Shamrock Rovers game yesterday.
Yeah, I'd say that was about it yeah.Quote:

If there was 998 other tracksuits there,how did you know these two were from Dublin? :DQuote:

I'd go with 700-800: the stand holds somewhere between 450 and 600 and it was nearly full with another 100-200 stood at pitchside

4500 according to the Sun in Turners Cross last night.I wasn't at the Waterford United v St Pats game but will try and get you the attendance.
Bohs average is 2,408 according to the Star on Sunday. They said only 864 turned up to the last home game against Derry. :eek:
According to Saturday's Examiner 5,500 at the game. Wasn't at it so can't say which is more acurate.Quote:

I've been told there was about 1000 at this game Friday night.
I think 5,000 was about right.....Quote:

and 1000 in the Shed and other standing areas
Id estimate 1200 in Ballybofey for Harps V Athlone on Saturday
Nah biy, you're wrong............................:DQuote:

Around 4,000 at City v Drogs last night.
Not the way it looked on tv last night: the low stand opposite the tv cameras was 3/4 full and the uncovered seating area behind the goal was hardly half full.Quote:

I wasn't coming up with a figure, just commenting on your assertion that both stands were full and St Anne's (which I am assuming is th uncovered seated area behind the goal) was nearly full. Watching on tv that was clearly not the case.Quote:
