Admittedly not excellent but it was three times their average attendance for a preseason, mid-week freindly. I'm sure Derry would be happy with 9,000 for the same fixture!Quote:

You're missing the point.Quote:

No matter which way you look at it 1,500 is a very poor attendance for that game. Comparing it to their current attendances is meaningless. Harps get 3 times the Ipswich attendance when they play Derry City FFS.
Hopefully the Irish media will get the message and relegate Ipswich to passing mentions in the media, rather than the fawning hysteria they tried to create over Plunderland.
Roughly 1,100 in Richmond Park I'd say. 25 Galway.
I'd say about 2300 in the carlisle tonight, about 1300 rovers and a 1000 bray.
A good game and with a section of the wall collapsing when rovers scored the 2nd, injuring a few fans. Not nice to see at all, the game was delayed about half hour from this, the ground is in ruins, so far the lights have failed, the P.A. system has failed and now the wall has collapsed, and im sure alot of the perimeter wall is as dangerous as well.
About 3250 in oriel tonight, maybe another 2-300!
800 in the Bowl, maybe a 850.
As per dundalk forum it appears the official attendance was between 2,500 - 2,600 for last night (maybe 300 away fans)Quote:

Derry V Drogheda 2,390
Sure the place is crawling with filth every second week FFS :rolleyes:Quote:

Bohs brought more up for that game, it was also our first game back in the premier in 7 years and alot came out for that but also a detrimental effect on the attanedance was the fact that the game was live on TV so.Quote:

I think the 750 you said is more accurate.Quote:

Leeds brought a decent crowd then ?
Good money spinner for Shels but very depressing to see a flipping league one team can attract a much better crowd than most premier LOI games.
Yeah they did indeed. I dont know whether thats meant to be a shot at us or anything but im not too pushed about it because after all we do take the money from gate receipts.Quote:

That all? Thought it was more. What's the main stand hold? It was fairly full anyway, with a generous smattering in the temporary stand too.
Main stand holds 1,900
Oh. Thought it was 2500. No idea why. In that case, 2100 wouldn't be far wrong, I'd say.

Similar crowd to last year. I read somewhere that it pays for 2 to 3 weeks of your wages. Every bit helps.Quote:
