It's curious it's more First Division clubs who give official attendances. Only official figures in the Premier are UCD, Fingal, Galway and Dundalk (and Dundalk not all the time). By contrast, only Longford, Mervue, Monaghan, Salthill and Wexford in the First don't give official figures, and Wexford did up until last year. So 40% of the Premier v 60% of the First give official figures. So it's not just a Rovers thing.
106 counted at the salthill -v- limerick match

Attendances for last weekend (i.e. the figures I've gone with) -
Bohs v Galway 1300
Drogheda v Rovers 1300
Fingal v Dundalk 1109
Harps v Athlone 647
Longford v Mervue 200
Monaghan v Waterford 182
Salthill v Limerick 106
Shels v Cork 1004
Wexford v Derry 250
Galway v Dundalk 740
Ours against waterford was 182.
250 at most at Youths vs. Derry. Considering they're the biggest visitors of the seasons, that's really awful for us. I'd say around half were Derry fans, really brilliant supporters. The Conga almost made up for the scoreline! We really definitely have to move the games back to Friday nights..
There was no way 182 people in the ground, unless you included the guys on the gate, bar staff, ball boys, the match officials and both teams.Quote:

Stu - nice feature that putting the weekend crowds at the end of the stats, you going to do that each week ?
On a Monday night? Not really.Quote:
