If there were 2,000 at the Drogheda-Derry match I'll eat my underpants!!
345 at Waterford United v Mervue today according to report on extratime.ie.
Another poor crowd but we won our 6th game in a row.
counted 178 at Kildare county V wexford good crowd up from Wexford too
782 was the official crowd at our game against Limerick.
Was there many at Athlone-Monaghan?
About 220 at UCD-Longford.
Yes Stan over on our website said attendance including season ticket holders was 450 which is still terrible. I don't think the Munster v Leinster game would have affected attendance as our game was over at 10 to 5 so I had time to go home, have a quick bite to eat and drove down to the pub in time for kick off in that game. We are playing some nice football this season and deserve a bigger support.

It sold out again so I presume you count it as a full house?
I wonder does anyone take an actual attendance figure? I'd be interested to see it, obviously with 2,000 season ticket holders a certain % will be missing each week. I'd imagine I was one of the few to miss the Pat's match, while for someone like Bray a few more might be missing (having said that I was a bit late getting there and the stewards directed me into the turnstiles at the family end and it seemed pretty full, I'll have to have a look at MNS to see what it was really like, it's a very hard stand to judge the crowd from).
I've counted them all as 3500, bar one which was put in as 3000. The reason is buried in the thread somewhere. Don't see any other option really, unless we taken them as 3400 to take account of people not turning up.
I know its not relevant to averages but there was 190 at the League Cup match in Terryland yesterday
this might be a stupid question (probably is!) but if Rovers' maximum safe holding capacity is 3300 then how come their average attendance is over that??
There looked like there was a good few empty seats on one side of the stand in Tallaght at the Bray match
Various figures were posted in the run up to the game, I think 3,300 was the first figure then 3,500 was given on the official Rovers website.
I'd say the average crowd taking away non-attending season ticket holders is probably around 3,350 allowing for a capacity of 3,500. Having said that there was about 4,000 at the first game.
I know it doesn't count in the averages but attendance at Athlone vs UCD in the EA Sports Cup was 105.
876 at drogs londonderry
Btw thats about our average this season id say (dont know if youre missing official figures for previous matches - and couldnt be @rsed looking)
Alot of people (with kids especially) staying away cos of the prices - we were getting around the same attendances id say when last in division one
I recall a brief period on here when many people gave you the benefit of the doubt Cosmo. That was swiftly followed by most reaching the conclusion that you're an awful tool.
So thank you for taking this opportunity to remind us all again of just how poor quality a try-hard WUM you are..... :p
Good luck in the First Division now. Big kiss x
3,286 @ Derry v Bohemians.
Poor attendance but amazing atmosphere.
only 378 at the game. and i bet they regretted comming too
775 announced for Shels-Longford
No more than 100 at Monaghan V Wexford including about 30-40 from Wexford, for what was one of the worst games of football I've ever had the misfortune to witness.
Approx 150 - Mervue United vs Sporting Fingal.
probably worst attendance of the year for us to watch the worst performance of the year from us, propbably about 1000-1100, im up for correction on that tho.
A guess of 2,400 for Sligo Rovers V Shams.
Red stand:1,500
Jinks: 700
Around the ground 200
The Star has Dundalk-Galway down as 2000 and Bray-Drogheda as 800
Blues v kildare 450
