Over 80% of that crowd had to be shels...

More Shels fans at that game then we got at Tolka at any stage last year. Which is bizarre. Some faces I hadn't seen since 2006. Maybe they only come out for the big Dublin derbies :rolleyes:

Small attendance I assume,Sligo would'nt have brought many as most knew they were as good as relegated

Home team usually announces the attendance

I can't see how you arrive at this figure ?
When people buy a family ticket for two adults are they counted as four ???

Was it reported before that the stand holds only 440 ?
If that's the case it was only around 3/4 full leaving 900 on the terrace!! I doubt that seen as a lot of Shels fans had made their way to the stand. It's difficult to tell standing on the terrace but didn't seem like 900 there to me.

Shels got just over 900 for a home game with Longford last week yet we're getting nearly 1000 for an away game with Sporting Fingal ???

I'm not buying that.

It didnt seem like anywhere near that many to me ( I'm usually pretty close with my guesstimates). I'll take your word for it though :)

There was more than 375 anyways , I would say.:) They said after the game it was 735. Sure there was 555 at the Wexford game and there seemed to more at the Dundalk game. Im open to correction but a reliable source told me it was 735 at full-time. Not bad considering.

The attendances so far have been abysmal, hopefully the extra press coverage and advertising will pay off and things will improve. I'll be expecting a decent crowd for Shelbourne.

I think the recent 'extra press coverage' in Limerick has been keeping the attendances down. How's that whole curfew thing working out down there?

Its going well. It has been put back to 23:15 because we have been good for the last few weeks. But everything shuts down at that time so we cant do anything. Oh wait what time is it. I must put the piebald pony inside before the army tanks patrolling the streets crush him......:rolleyes:

I'm not buying that.

The stand holds 800. The attendance figure was given out during the game and on the website.

I'd say there was about 600-700 Shels fans there, the rest being Fingal fans and neutral interested observers, but i'm new to the game so i wouldn't count on my observations.
