Wouldn't know the Brandywell very well but I would guess whatever the stand holds plus 100 more.Quote:

I thought it was around 1,800 myself at the game.
how ye can tell the difference between 100 i dunno. I wouldnt be able to tell ya to the nearest 500 how many were there, unless of course it was 1,750 at it.
Not even close, was about 1300Quote:

just realised there, there was more at the Ramblers Dundalk game than there was at the City Bohs game. City Bohs being one of the biggest games in the league outside Derbys, two of irelands biggest clubs like. thats a good boast for division 1 right there.
Official 264 at UCD V Galway

I reduced my estimate based on the stand not been as full as I first thought (this holds 1,300)
No its not average this year is 670. This was the worst of the season by a long way and coupled with the late concession of the (deserved) equaliser made for a very uncomfortable drive home!Quote:

Rovers v Derry official attendance 1275. More than we would have got on the friday. Wouldnt mind playing all games in tolka on saturday nights to be honest.Quote:

I can't find an official attendance for Wexford v Kildare but I would guess about 350.

That is absolutely woeful. There'll be over 8 times as many people at the Harps-Derry game, and that's only because capacity is stopping any more from going.Quote:

It was actually a pretty good game. The weather was atrocious. It wasn't a Derby game either. But the mighty Derry would be far less embarassing for the league
Between 80-100 Rovers fans there last night. Terrible conditions for a game.
There needs to be a review of what games are shown on tv. Minimum crowds must be considered.Quote:

Guessing about 1700 for Bray v Pats last night - say 1250 for the greenhouse stand, 300 of us out in the elements and 150 or so behind the goal.
There was about 5,000 at the Drogs V Helsingborgs game.I know it wasnt the league but ts still a good showing
Crowd looked bad on Tv whats the story down there I rembember much larger crowds at Kilcowen won't critise those who went as a lot of them will be in the showgies on tuesday.Quote:

If they took a guess or used last year's figures Finn Harps still wouldnt have a game televised.
Anyone with a half-decent knowledge of the Eircom league could've looked down that list of fixtures and seen that the Harps-Derry game was clearly the tie of the round, was guaranteed to get the biggest crowd, and would have the best atmosphere.Quote:

Here's some unedited footage of what atmosphere looks like, for those who had to suffer the live game on Friday : :)
Very much doubt that.Quote:

The atmosphere is part of the package, and as we can't compete with the English and Scottish product on footballing quality - all we have to attract fans to our game is local pride/identity and atmosphere. Remove one part of that, and we're left with very little.Quote:

Had that game been played in a near empty stadium with no atmosphere, I doubt I'd have gone back.
How will we ever get curious people off their armchair and into a stadium if it looks and sounds like EL games are played in a library...?
around 5000 at Finn Park last night.
WOW!!!Quote:

a) Local derby. One that has the ability to attract bigger crowds than the much-hyped Bohs-Rovers derby, that is the only one anyone seems to think is of note in the league..Quote:

BTW - 5,000 was a sell-out crowd. There'd have been more if the capacity was higher (I know that there were Derry fans who couldn't get tickets at least).
Ya but still for 3rd round in the cup thats brilliant attendance.Quote:

Tickets were still on sale for Harps v Derry outside the ground before the game.
I'd have estimated the crowd nearer 4,000 but still very impressive given the awful weather.
Good banter between both sets of fans aswell.
Obviously I was being kind to the culchies in giivng them the benefit of the doubt re sales to their own fans :DQuote:

We definately sold our allocation, but with the river end open there was a lot more space for Derry fans so not surprised they sold more tickets. COvered stand looked jam packed and town end about half full.Quote:
