But a club with higher attendances came up while a couple of clubs will smaller attendances went down so all other things being equal the average should increase this year.Quote:

You realise that post makes you on a par with CelticTiger, yeah?Quote:

Was having net problems and couldn't be bothered to use someone else's PC.
Cork City - Galway United 2,456 official attendance.
Derry V Dundalk 2,850
A very large Dundalk support, about 300+ who all enjoyed there trip.
Thanks CS, we look forward to extending a similar warm welcome to you boys during the summer, heard dcfc fans looked after our lads very well pre match - top class.
I'd guess that the premier average will be up this year: Rovers are in Tallaght and will get decent crowds for the first season in memory, Dundalk are up. In fact, every team in the premier - perhaps with the exception of Bray - is capable of getting 2k+ regularly: most importantly, UCD are down.......

Limerick V Waterford official attendance: 1,058

Considering youve been averaging around the 500 mark, thats really impressive. Fair play.Quote:

any time we get a decent crowd we **** it up :cool: every adult is entitled to bring in an under 12 for free on a normal week, so this week our cpo reversed the idea of every free child brings a paying adult. handed out a load of freebies in schools and hea presto. if only we had a facility worth bringing them too. On a lighter note the atmostphere in the shed was electric.Quote:

Would have a guess at 3000 at the Brandywell tonight.

How come we don't appear to get estimates from Drogheda's games. There were no estimates for their home games against Galway and Sligo.
about 1000 last night v Sligo
It was 867. Quite a disappointing attendance with very few away fans.Quote:

As far as I know the club went around to schools in Limerick promoting the game all week.Quote:

Yeah the usual 30 or so travelled which surprised me as I thought more would make the trip.Quote:

He was born 5/12/92.
This record might not last past the next month if we end up with anymore injuries but having seen the Under 17s playing I personally have no worries on this.
1,100 at Limerick - Blues match last night.
There would have been more at the game last night if it was'nt for the Rugby down the road .Quote:

There were Athlone fans dotted around the main stand too.
He's probably including the players and back-room staff too ;)Quote:

there was only 250 patrons at our match last nite too..
Wouldn`t have thought there was anything near 1,000 empty seats in the jODI.Quote:

Did the Pats fans with "home" tickets for SDCC`s Municipal Sports Arena last night have any probs getting to the Pats end?
I sat with the Bray fans in the first half, that side of the ground was quite empty alright but you'd know the ground better than me.Quote:

They're in there somewhere. 1000 for the Galway game; Sligo was only on Friday, so have patience!Quote:
