That's true but at least Cobh set a marker and put in a top performance for the crowd bagging 5 goals. Surely that's going to bring the majority back for more.Quote:

Welcome back Cobh.
the attendance was 100 thats 247 less than last year which is not very "seriously impressive"Quote:

Highly doubt it. Monaghan played almost 3 months of fixtures before pulling out. Around 6 or 7 home games I'd imagine. They started off fairly decent too attendance wise. Something around 4.5k I'd guess. Don't have the figures to hand at the minute.Quote:

Their next home game is against UCD.
Having one of the easier teams might play into their hands if they can get a home win while excitement is still high after the big crowd for the Munster derby.Quote:

Great buzz around the city for the game for the last few weeks so I reckon the majority of people that wanted to go did go regardless of when the game was on.
Edit: By the way, not too familiar with Thomond Park and it was difficult to see the top of the stand from the terrace I was in, but I reckon the was more than 3,500 there.
True, if they get a result away to Drogs this weekend it'll help big time. I hope Limerick can keep up the crowds, it's good for the league.Quote:

Question for the Cork fans, how many Limerick fans do ye reckon were in the opposite stand? Was difficult to see from the terrace below.
I reckon the official attendance only included Limerick fans.Quote:

The UCD ultras wontbe making an appearance so ?Quote:

EDIT: The Shels and Bohs games are on a Tuesday and a Sunday so that puts a dampner on that thought :(
Hopefully there is no European football on tv on those nights, I could never understand why fai scheduled midweek games on the same nights as champions league games when the amount weeks in summer they could be playedQuote:

Limerick will be heading in for a run of home games against Dublin teams before then UCD, Pat's, Shams, Bohs and Shels all coming to Thomond Park over the next 5 home games.
I think midweek games are great. Shams and Bohs despite being Tuesday night games should get decent crowds.
