My guess is about 550. Not a hope it was 300 gael353. We had less than what was there last night all of last season when each game was averaging out at about 480. There was definitely less than 700, no less than 500. Those schoolkids aren't counted, unless they pay at the start.
Official attendace for Harps v Limerick 504.
Happened a few times last season too. Our fans, particularly the non regulars have the very annoying habit of all turning up 5 minutes before kick off.Quote:

Great to see a big increase at the Salthill game.
The Shams fans will have the entire Jinks' Ave. stand to themselves next week. Could not believe what i was seeing in Derry last night. We arrived an hour before kick off to find the ground closed and then watched for ten minutes as a guy tried to open the steel door in a turnstile. Were then told to go somewhere else to buy a ticket where we had to queue for twenty minutes. Did the news that the season was starting only get to Derry yesterday afternoon? Left a terrible impression of the way the club is going to be run.Quote:

Thats major loss of revenue for us. No reason has been given for this either. Also the wall at the other side of the ground has been declared unsafe and could fall over any time.Quote:

H&S up North is just a crazy situation :shock: They have seats closed in a lot of IFA grounds for no logical reasons .
Its ridiculous. The stand at the Brandywell is not that old, I just fail to see where H&S have declared part of it unfit?
Especially with a game at Terryland the same night.Quote:

Eventually they opened the big yellow gates on the opposite side to the main stand.
A couple of guys on the gate snapping the money out of our hands.
Around 200 Rovers ended up on that side of the ground
Couldnt get into the away section.
It was annoying to miss kick off but it was an enjoyable night out all the same.
Is this the main stand, running almost all one side ? Nothing wrong with that when I was last up or from tv photos, I`d know what I`d tell the council to do......................Quote:
