Damn right! And it was a super episode.Quote:

Think the semi-final where we thrashed them 1-0 with ten men was a Tuesday as well and there was an okay crowd at that.
I had a sprained ankle and no funds, but Monday is just a crap, crap, crap, crap, crap night for matches (and there wasn't even any television money for this one). The littlest excuse that would put you off making the usual effort to get to the game is magnified about twenty times on a Monday. Bohs drawing in Waterford was a fecking killer in that regard.
We had probably more there than the home club. 4-0 hitting you hard I see?Quote:

It was probably over 4,000 if you include all the culchie guards on overtime, though.Quote:

There was a a fair bit more than 2,000 in Dalymount Monday night.
So do you think your attendances are good? You probably had about 800 in the Connacht St side on Monday and there weren't a whole lot more than 1000 at Friday's triumph!Quote:

4-0 did get to you obviously. If you think we only had 800 there monday kudos. Thought maths was part of your job? Maybe not.Quote:

But we are renting in a ground that is unpopular on the wrong side of the city. The longer we rent in tolka the less our crowds will be irrespective of the results on the pitch.
Friday's triumph was attended by 1145 fans. That's on the attendance thread.
Your comparison with shels is on a par with your posts.

Explain to me how in honour of christ this makes them the new Shels?!?!?!?!Quote:

Could have put your finger on something hereQuote:

It'll doubtless take a Bohs v Rovers 20 pager of a thread to figure out what
There'll be an official attendance figure in the next programme at least. Just need to get an independent body to verify what's printed. :)
I'm well aware of the connection, cheers.Quote:

UCD-Waterford - 257
Harps- Cobh 3,100.
Great crowd Heggy and great result, look forward to renewing the big Northwest Derby next year. The league needs the likes of the Derry Harps and Sligo derbiesQuote:

I'd guess about 1,600 at Dundalk vs. Shelbourne.
dfc.com reports approx 1,700Quote:

At least, we have always been well supported when going well. Hopefully we can be getting our good crowds in the prem next season :cool:Quote:

08/09/07 Cobh Ramblers Vs. Athlone Town. If it is that match you are missing I recall a figure of 699 being mentioned down there
If it was the match at the end of Series 1 played on the 5/05/07 I think there was about 750 at it looking back at my video of the match but would be sure Marco keeps attendance figures
