Good photo, thanks for posting, was wondering when I saw the crowd given as over 1,500
Closer to 5,500. Main stand was completely sold out - the only available seats were season ticket holders who didn't show, and it looked like Pats would have exceeded their allocation were they not all on their feet. There were a few red shirts dotted around the east too. A lot of Scottish accents in the Rovers end.Quote:

You might have to wait for them to estimate the other stand now.Quote:

I'd have said about 4,500 or so. Huge Pats crowd too.Quote:

2082 in the Showgies tonight.
Not a great turnout but sure why would you go when you're not even top of the league?
Gotta be certain that bandwagon is worth jumping on again this year.
Always the case, Dong and always will be. It's not just us, every other club has the same problem.
1115 was the attendance at CCS tonight. Superb atmosphere all sides of the ground. Think Atlone brought around 400.
Great to hear.Quote:

Possibly a bit harsh but I would have expected about 1,500 for the Longford Athlone game considering the circumstances.
We've had 1500 at a league game maybe once in the last ten years. It was a good home turnout, plenty of faces who'd hardly been seen since the glory days. Shame we only played for 45 minutes.Quote:

So after all the craic about the crowd in the RSC for the last game, was there really only 150 there on Friday?

Sligo lads, heard your taking a decent crowd to Dundalk on Friday, prob a lot of Dub based fans? Remember an extra fiver gets you into the stand. (€15) And before we all start, I sat right behind the impeccably behaved Rovers fans 2 weeks ago, they seemed to be happy enough, had the front 5 rows on the 'away side' sectioned off and looked to be enjoying their curry chips. There should be plenty of seating available for away fans if you get there early.
Away end, optional at €10.
Jaysus, are you still keeping that feud going?
Always plenty of "covert" Sligo fans in the home section in Oriel Park too. Never a problem with Sligo, they know how to behave themselves.Quote:

Hardly a feud at all. The Rovers fans were as docile as the their team in Oriel. No singing or chanting, and most in the stand actual sat down. No fences attacked or shapes thrown. In fact the only bit of fight came from Rice, McGuinness and CrolyQuote:

also cant wait for the pre match craic with the Sligo lads in the lilywhite. Hopefully the weather will be nice and perfect conditions for a great game of football.
if only the Dublin clubs supporters could behave themselves when they go beyond the M50 or drogs when they pass the river fane could we enjoy the same occasion as we do with Sligo & Derry (well they are the only other decent supported side that have away support)
Why bring it up then? (I know it wasn't you). As far as the FAI, the clubs and everybody else is concerned, the issue is dealt with, apart from the unfortunate lad who's still recovering from his injuries.Quote:

Fair enough if you want to willfully deny the obvious implication of oriel's post, but I can't be arsed playing along with it.Quote:

Will double check through the weeks sometime I'm bored.
I couldn't make it to match Friday night but I doubt if thats right. It'd be a 3rd of our normal crowd. Extra time don't even do reports on our games any more so wouldn't trust that figure. I'll check that for you.Quote:

Someone acknowledges the rare and unexpected good behaviour of Hoops fans and you want to turn it into some sort of Machiavellian plot to stoke a feud with Pats supporters.Quote:

I have to say that, unless I missed some coded text or failed to play the post backwards, that was a bizarre convoluted bit of paranoia from you Charlie.
I always enjoyed trips to Oriel - the only time I ever felt threatened was the time in the late 80s we nearly got lynched for talking too loud and disturbing people's enjoyment of the band on the way home in Castleblayney. (They're fond of their Country & Western up that way)
A hornets nest has been stirred on twitter following the publication of an article in the Independent by Aiden O'Hare.

No, definitely not. Did extratime give that figure??? I didn't pay too much attention and we usually have an official figure, but I'd have thought it was 350 or so. Cobh even brought a minibus of kids and we don't usually get more than a handful of away fans.Quote:
