I stand corrected, hadn't realised that many travelled down, that's excellent numbers really.
Looking forward to seeing the highlights on Monday night.

Looking forward to seeing the highlights on Monday night.
Those sections hold close to 700, there was maybe 350 in there, plenty of empty seats at the front of it.Quote:

The broken ones? No thanks.Quote:

About 500 in Bray last night, 200ish from Galway.
lOOK AT THE GAME ON MONDAY NIGHT. Each section can hold 500, Dundalk didn't even half fill it ffs. 150 max. Remember 11.05 monday night.Quote:

At least another 500 if not 1,000 on top of that I'd have guessed but I could not give a fjuck!
Great crowd at Harps game, 2015 was anounced but we just laughed that he picked the year Harps would go back up as there defo seemed way more than that
1904 official attendance in Dalymount.
1,231 official at EDP
Would that be max capacity? I assume it nearly would be for a title lifting match.Quote:

The trick will be keeping the season average of 3,000 when things are not going so great.Quote:

Thought it was over 2k myself but still very good for last home game of the season.Quote:

The potential is there already with the club selling circa 7.5k cup final tickets. Who knows also how many were sold through ticketmaster
The times reported 'nearly 3,000' but 2,013 was given in the Indo. Why would the club release an incorrect figure ?Quote:

A new stand behind the town goal would be ideal and for families, but nothing will happen until the lease is sorted.Quote:

If you want any figures I can send these to you over the weekend Nigel.
As always a big thanks for keeping this going all season.
Will complete the updates tonight when I get home and on my laptop.
by the time I got to the ground about 10 minutes before kick off an extra 2 gates had been opened on Navennny street to ease congestion outside the main gate , well over 2000 there last nightQuote:

No that seems about rightQuote:

Seemed right to me. Had hoped the 4k mark would of been broke but the weather forecast was rotten and the game was a bit of a dead rubber
I think the main stand is down to 1,100 now, but the terracing in front of it on the town side is very popular, that can hold up to 300-400. The other area with the open seating on the town side of the stand is also popular with families. The shed side has over 1000 seats also, not that many use them mind!
The figure of just under 3,500 was about right.
After a bank holiday and before a cup final weekend for a nothing game anything over 2500 would be a minimum expectation, over 3000 was a good turnout.
What!!There was near 2500 mascots at the match alone :) :DQuote:

Going for another new LOI record for mascots here!
Afternoon all, first time posting here have been a serial lurker here for a few years and always interested in LOI attendances. As you can guess by my name my team are Rovers. Great figures from Dundalk this season success and decent attractive football always a help. Cork's crowds kinda fell away when the fans realized that they were never gonna to catch Dundalk, same with us although i think they were slightly up on last season eventhough our sideways one paced football is hard to watch, oh for the heady days under Mick O Neil.
Didn't hear an attendance called out for Limerick/Harps, but must have been a monster crowd, saw one attendee claiming it could have been over 4.5 thousand. If Limerick could ever put a title challenge together...
Just over 5,000 at the Limerick v finn harps game I was told tonight by a club member
....The chairman would be on the pitch making a speech every fooking fortnight!!:o:rolleyes:Quote:
