Nobody in Donegal has cars? There was 30 on that bus alone, absolutely minimum that the same again next to us. Not sure how you could have seen that from the other end of the stand though..Quote:

I think we all know at this stage that when Nigel quotes a number of Harps fans at an away game you can just cut that in half for the actual figure and when he quotes a number of away fans in Finn Park you can just double that to get the actual figure.Quote:

Dundalk v Bohemians - 3,105
Limerick v Drogheda - 2,308
Galway v Cork - 1,301
Athlone v Harps - 485
UCD v Cabinteely - 214
Estimates:
Shamrock Rovers v Sligo - 3,250
Shamrock Rovers v Derry - 1,500
Derry v Pats - 1,300
Bray v Longford - 750
Cobh v Waterford - 380
Wexford v Shelbourne - 300
Anyone able to correct with official figures? Seems less and less official figures are being released each week.
Our official figure is dodgy out. There was at least 3,000 in the ground. Have heard lots of people saying it was way more. Still though 2,308 is a good bump for us.
I remember the lads on the radio wondering why the official figure was so low. They were wondering if there was some sort of capacity violation occurring.
That could be it. Before the game, Markets Field Facebook page stated capacity was a little over 3,000.Quote:

1734 attendance in Sligo tonight,most Sligo fans just turned up to see who was in the dugout lol.Maybe about 100 Dundalk fans? too pished to notice :eek: quality trip over to the showgies as usual,class ground,great pubs,decent knowledgeable fans.
601 I think at Longford
No idea what our official attendance was tonight but loads of Scots there
1123 according to ET.
I'm on the phone so it doesn't give me the 'Thanks' option? So, Thanks.Quote:

.Probably 200 Scotst who stayed in the bars.The same numbe,r at least , watched the game.Didn't get out of there till 1:30 a.m (I think)
I thought there was more than that from Dundalk, maybe 250. Hard to judge when your in the middle of it.Quote:

Rubbish attendances for Pats really. The Scots who turned up were good craic. Could have sworn they were singing "Ginger pubes are unacceptable" at a ginger lad on the Limerick bench :DQuote:

Its essentially a pishing match between club fans on how big (or small) away support is. Sure within clubs those who travel away see themselves as superior fans to others!Quote:

Shocking form to be arguing over attendance figures, especially that of away crowds. Grow up you lot.
What would you know about it Nigel sure!
Plenty, Longford have no fans, Dundalk crowds just a bandwagon, Cork people have nothing better to be doing, Dubs just head along hoping a riot breaks out, Galway are still in the honeymoon period only being a two year old club, Drogheda fans meet their 'lovely cousins' of which there aren't many, plenty of space for Sligo folk to park their caravans around the showgrounds so it's a nice meeting spot for a decent crowd, Waterford people too busy eating blaas to head to the football, same goes for Wexford and their sttawberries, Cobh is just a small suburb of Cork, Limerick folk afraid of being stabbed so late at night, besides the fact rubgy crowd are so much nicer anyway, Athlone is like a black hole, you get sucked in and can't leave so rightfully so, nobody wants to be seen there, lambing season around Finn Park has seen crowds rise, while news of the potential demise of they greyhound track in Derry has seen their numbers dwindle altogether.
I like to think I'm a bit of an expert really.
and Bray are so significant you forgot about them and the falling wall, or their classy chairman and legal team...a complete history of Foot.ie then.
Just minding my own back with that one..besides, they're basically Dublin anyway.

Waterford v UCD was 365.
I think he might have managed 10 using his fingers and thumbs but then lost count and accidentally added another zero when typing it.Quote:
