Was gonna guess 800-900. If Shelsw posts something different on our forum I'll post it here.

Maybe 1,500 at Drogs v Cork City but I am only guessing as no idea how much the covered terrace holds. Seemed to be much smaller home & away support than recent years.

53 Galway fans there.

Terrace holds about 2600. There were about 1700 there last night. 400 in the stand, 200 infront of and in the clubhouse and about 40 away fans.
About 2300 - 2400 in total

Yeah terrace looked about 2/3 full so you probably correct if your capacity number is correct. Did not feel like 2300 but maybe because so few City fans & such a low key first half.

Official attendance for Pats v Rovers given as 3271.

This is DEFINITELY light - I went in by the archway and nobody asked for or took the relevant ticket from me from my season ticket book. It's reasonable to assume the same applied for at least some other season ticket holders. A mate of mine who bought a ticket on the night wasn't asked for it either so it wasn't just season ticket holders.

Stu, I'd suggest you take an average of the guesstimates of both Pats and Rovers fans rather than using the official figure.

Not sure what to do with that, to be honest.

The official figure is what we want clubs to release. I don't see how we can arbitrarily decide that one club's official figure, or even one particular figure, is too low and so reject it. I think if official figures are available, we'll have to use them, or else things will get overly messy.

And on that topic, apparently 323 was the official crowd for UCD-Longford last night, compared to the 410 posted earlier. Obviously, the difference is people like me, who would have been there but gone in for free as programme sellers. I'll go with the official figure though.

Appreciate where you're coming from but last night WAS fairly chaotic from a ticketing point of view. Ordinarily, after the explanation Stato gave about how our attendances are counted (after the Bohs game), I'd say go with the official figure. The circumstances that prevailed last night cast a bit of a question over the official figure, that's all I'm saying.

Would be interested to see anyone else's guesstimates that was there.

Extremely poor attandance at our game Vs. Waterford-500 at most I'd say. About 10 Waterford fans.

Worst crowd iv seen there since the don o'riordan days, id say 500 is about right.

I'll go for about 900 at our game. Being whitehall, I wouldn't be too sure though

That's a really poor crowd..

What's the reason for that?

Heard from someone on the gate last night that the attendance was about 750.

750 it is then, mine was only a guesstimate.

No dodgey, you`re got your dates wrong, for the first time we went down (1998/99) we lost something like the last 8 and finished bottom and crowds def did drop to around this level for the last 3 or 4 months.

Also I`m remember many a sunday watching pats v dundalk in the 80`s in both harolds cross and the old richmond with 5 or 6 hundred in attendance being the norm.

Bottom line, I suppose, is that to take 4000 instead of 3321 is a difference of less than 700, which over the course of a 17-game season is a difference in the average of 40 people. From the point of view of consistency, I'd be happy enough to take that difference.

There are some attendances on the WY official site in the match reports.
