Had me totally confused stu as to what match you wanted
Series 1 05/05/07 Cobh Ramblers Vs. Athlone Town
Series 2 07/07/07 Athlone Town Vs. Cobh Ramblers
Series 3 08/09/07 Cobh Ramblers Vs. Athlone Town Att 699
Series 4 10/11/07 Athlone Town Vs. Cobh Ramblers
Now I see what you mean :D
I presume that was your own headcount? Do you realise you can't include players & officials ;)Quote:

No, that was official. And correct too.
good crowd at bray match despite the sh*t weather prob about 1900
I thought more like 1400.Quote:

Naturally.Quote:

1500 at the Bray-Rovers game.
Covered stand was about 75% full, so about 700 in it and uncovered stand had about 700 in it, another 100 or so standing.
Not a bad crowd considering the horrible weather, it being a big champions league night and it being the day of Brian Murray's funeral. Fair play to all who made it to the game, added to a great atmosphere.
Uncovered stand will be covered from what i've heard, hopefully before the start of next season.
Shels v Harps was 767. No word on Shels v Kildare official yet though it was pretty poor
I wasn't at this game and tried to get an official attendance from the club but my email was ignored but was told by a reliable fan it was a poor enough crowd,less than 1000.
2935 at Terryland tonight according to the brother and according to Galway Bay fm. Decent crowd for a key match.
One of our biggest crowds of the year. Definitely over 4000, others saying 4500.
421 at UCD-Bray.
Best ever atmosphere at terryland.Well done to Daniel Walsh CPO.Great crowd 2935 and all the kids that were there for the "Show Racism the Red Card" launch will be back.
4,500 according to the RadioQuote:

Limerick v Wexford: 348
Reckon about 800 to 850 at Ramblers/kildare last night.
Varied estimated crowds going about the Monaghan - Harps game today, I heard 800 mentioned at the end up, most of which were Harps fans :cool:
it was a big crowd alright but I was in the New Stand and I have to say there was no atmosphere to speak of!Quote:

I think 690 was the official attendance at UCD-Cork, seemed like a fair bit more.

Stand was emptier than it looked; I reckoned 700-800 from looking at it (though hoped it'd hit 1000).
Promo worked well; ending may have ensured a few will return. 289 students in total, though obviously all getting in for free.
Free beer promotion and still only 289 students! Great idea but not exactly sustainable I reckon!
Re Galway new stand emptying; in fairness I think what happens is they all make their way to the gate so they can beat the crowds at the final whistle. If you watch the gate at the Dyke road you'll see very few actually leave the ground before the final whistle.
GUFCT: Very controversial! Real fans! Id say a hell of a lot of those in the new stand are season ticket holder of the older generation! Im sure you said it tongue in cheek.
The thing is, that didn't cost the club any money. The free beer was provided by the sponsors and made available by the student bars. We had nothing to lose and the promotion certainly worked to some extent. Apart from the League Cup final of 2005 the club hasn't been promoted on the college in years. You now have a few hundred people who came who never went before. Hopefully a few will be back and the word will have spread a little bit about the club. A home draw in tomorrow's cup draw would help as well.Quote:

Would have got more if you didnt clash with Munster down the road. For example the saturday night. More away fans and maybe some of the Munster fans. Seemed daft to have two different games on less than a mile apart the same time.Quote:

848 capacity in the stand. The one behind the goal is 600. Thought there was more than 100 around the ground, but it doesn't make a difference to total attendance.Quote:

There's some of it now, backed by our CPO, but it's no exactly visible among the noise.Quote:

how many at the league cup final last night?
id say between 3500 and 4000, not huge but not bad either for a tuesday night.Quote:
