I thought the covered area held 860 (at least that was the capacity of the stand before renovation).
I think there was slightly more Drogs' fans there- covered area was split even and they had a bit more on the outside.

It also seems to be an inhibiting factor to you correctly spelling "definitely". :rolleyes:Quote:

Anyways, petty point scoring should go in other threads.
Not as many as that.Quote:

I've noticed a lot more students going to games this season, most of whom seem to be supporting the home team. It doesn't affect my initial point about the general home/away split as per the signs in the ground and as noticed when the goals went in.
Worth noting that during the week, Drogheda were struggling to get a bus to the game, but now they rckon 400 travelled.

1290 mentioned as official on the Cobh forum.

Not bad at the estimating, the other 10 were probably in the loo at that time:p
As well as a lot more people in the proper club scarves I'm seeing a fair few UCD students in the official UCD scarf that's given out free at the inaugurations every year. It is very hard to quantify who the free entry UCD students came to support though. We went from 10 or 20 free UCD students from the Sligo game to 124 in the Drogs game. While I imagine the increase had something to do with some Drogs fans taking up the offer there can't have been 100 Drogheda supporting UCD students there.Quote:

Haven't denied that. Just saying that they were struggling for numbers initially, but are now talking about 400+?
Stu, Stu, Stu, will ya let it go fella. The bus you are talking about there is a bus that usally goes from a pub. The club ran 3 buses.Quote:

I hear there was under 100 at the Mons V Youths game, a little worrying
Do you specialise in missing the point?Quote:

The club ran 3 buses. They wouldn't usually have that many going to UCD, which kinda hints that the people that usually get the bus from the pub got the club buses instead - probably because they're better buses and the fare is usally cheaper. Most of our support would drive to Dublin games anyway.Quote:

We can argue all day about the actual definitive figure but I think the figures above are the most acurate we can get without actually asking everyone that was there!
I hope all this bitching between drogs and ucd fans hasn`t held up the weekly attendance table stu !
Can we move on please from this
I would have said 1600-1700 myself.Quote:
