I would be surprised if we didn't bring 500 to the Randysmell tonight.Quote:

I also have mates asking for a lift even though I couldn't drag them to a normal Harps match.
I would agree with Sam!!!!!!
Even for N.W. cup games etc,Harps have always brought big crowds to the Brandywell.There are so many Harps P/T supporters who live a lot closer to Derry than ballybofey.They also get a "real match" atmosphere feeling here as well although they are always spread out in every part of the ground so it's more difficult to know how many are there unless you's actually manage to score.
So for a league game I would expect at least 500+ and after the mauling we gave to Salthill at the weekend the biggest home attendance of the season by a country mile even though there is a non event happening in Glasgow at the same KO time.
592 at fingal-bray
Any attendance from derry-harps ?
I heard around 2500, and 4-5000, so hard to say!
925 at Galway United v Sligo
884 at Cork City v Salthill Devon
I would say about 3000 at Derry-Harps
Hard to know how many Harps fans were there, we filled section A and half of Section B and had a good few around the terraces too. First half was a cracking atmosphere.
I'd agree with this. I thought about 2,500 to be honest and a post on the Derry forum suggested the same figure. Certainly no more than 2,500 - 3,000. Still a great crowd, although a bit disappointing considering the previous attendances when these clubs met.Quote:

Pat's have put a couple of attendances on their site; I assume they're official, so I'll replace the other figures we had with them. We had 1207 for Drogheda, 1900 for Sligo and 3400 for Rovers.
I dont think form has much to do with it although obviously we'd get higher if we were top of the league :D
Tuesday combined with no one seeming to know who Salthill Devon are.
Weekday games have always killed us, for some reason people just wont come out, should be back up/over 2000 for the Derry game but the League cup game next Tuesday will be poor again.
Plus Ireland v England on the telly and some game in Scotland.Quote:

I reckon we could do 3-4000 on Friday week.
Aside from the fact it was a school night and also the unknown quantity that is Salthill Devon, there were numerous games fixed for last night in the various leagues across the city and county.Quote:

I was wondering what the hell that was about.Quote:
