Any Attendance from Longford? Id say 450 with 300 up from Limerick
Is that Longford's biggest gate this season?
Extratime had it down as 450est. I think Longford have got over 500 on a few occasions.Quote:

Derry can get a cup final bandwagon. What did Shels bring last year?Quote:

Thats basically what this thread is. Cheers though.Quote:

FIRST DIVISION
Athlone - 283 (200; 354; 462; 387; 670; 421; 316)
Harps - 429 (433; 644; 480; 1,607 PD; 1,164; 428; 1,347 PD; 1,106) -
Limerick - 677 (569; 598; 429; 517; 670; 364; 669)
Longford - 365 (315; 230; 260; 406; 885 PD; 681 PD; 1,004 PD)
Mervue - 242 (349; 123; 166)
SD Galway - 182 (125; 122 - As Salthill Devon FC)

OVERALL AVERAGE: 1090 (1,110, 1,095; 1,175; 1,221; 1,235; 1,070; 1,195)
One strange thing I'll point out. The average attendances in the First Division in order:
Limerick - 677
Waterford - 453
Harps - 429
Longford - 365
Wexford - 302
Athlone - 283
Mervue - 242
SD Galway - 182
Now simply switch Finn Harps below Wexford, and you have the current standing in the table. Similarly, how easily the table could have turned out exactly like this.
RTE won't show it and I doubt Setanta will either. I don't know how the RTE option works but I wouldn't be surprised if they could veto Setanta showing FAI Cup games, and exercised said veto.Quote:

I'd say we'd have a core of about 1,000 who'd turned up for all weekend games regardless. Our mid-week attendances have always been a fair bit lower anyway, and this season has just made it worse.Quote:

One home game to go against Drogs so the average will be up or down ever so slightly on last year. It all depends on whether Chris Forrester is otherwise engaged that nightQuote:

1477 at Shels V Derry.
1386 in Jackman tonight.
428 in Finn Park tonight with a grand total of 4 Longford fans.
Quite sad to see Oriel so empty tonight. LMFM tweeted 250 at it. In fairness Bohs brought a good few up to Oriel and there was a bunch of maybe 15/20 German fans there who were passing through Dundalk and popped in for the match. Not to many Dundalk fans though :(
Athlone Town vs Waterford 124
What was the presentation like considering the loss? Take away from party atmosphere?Quote:
