Then why the dig about crowds. Seems like there was no need for it and yet you had a go anyway.Quote:

As he explained it wasn't a dig, just pointed that out because sometimes they are not counted in the official attendance.Quote:

And BTW the Derry fans did have access to the Shed End if they didnt have enough room in the jinks, and if thats unsuitable I dont know what your arguement is when they put 700 of us out on uncovered terracing the last time we played Derry in the cup in the Brandywell.
Fair enough. My apologies battery rover. I misinterpreted the post.Quote:

Has the recession hit the crowds or has the LOI been fairly immune to the recession hitting the gate (not talking about sponsorships)

I wonder is that an official figure?Quote:

Down a wee bit, but too little to worry for now - probably within the margin of error for estimates.Quote:

901 was the official attendence at Tolka tonight.

It would not have mattered what the result was on the tuesday as a 1-0 win for Derry probably would have got the same away attendance but obviously a bigger home crowd.
BTW I'm not sickened with Sligo as I think it's a great away trip even though I may be sickened with Buttimer (the barsteward). :mad: :D
Desperate crowd in Bray.
Hard to guesstimate that ground, id say there was around 200 Rovers fans at it, maybe more.
And around the same amount of Bray fans.
Good crowd in Dalymount last night, looked like 2,500 or so.
Terrible crowd alrite.Quote:

Maybe it was around 150, could be right there.Quote:

You are right about the away support. Maybe 500 or 600 in total attendance.Quote:

Were the rovers ultras in the new stand? And the away fans still in the main stand?
I'd say closer to 750, Rehab Bingo just under 2/3 full, and 150 Sligo supporters. I would have expected more people for such a crucial game, very disappointing.Quote:

A friendly against a Liverpool XI from which we got about twice what you lot made from your Real exhibition, because we ran it ourselves in our own stadium will help with that, thanks.
I would have thought 3500 max in Tallaght last night, Yea the westend stand was pretty full (The parts that they were allowed to open) the east end stand was sparse in a lot of places and with one of the worst travelling support I have seen from Dundalk all season.
I would doubt it was anywhere near 4500 though
Curious to know why that is, Dundalk fans? You usually bring good numbers wherever you go, and Tallaght is pretty handy to get to in fairness.Quote:
