Yeah Indo usually terrible but there was one there this time, even a interview with the managers the next day on what both have to say about the win.Quote:

With the end of season attendances set to bring the figures up again, will this season see much of a change from last season overall?
I know that Galway United has virtually doubled from the overall from last year.
I reckon its 2500+ :pQuote:

I heard 1700 for the Harps attendance, but I really did think more than that were there. Substantially more than that- at least 2000.
Looke a relatively poor crowd for Derry-UCD - lots of gaps in the stand. That may have to do with me being behind one of the goals instead of in Block A as per usual though. Would say under 2000 (2000 being the crowd for the first game), but imagine MariborKev will have an official figure.

The crowd at Rovers-Drogheda on Friday looked very disappointing on TV for two of the Top 3 clubs in the league this late on. The final games involving City, Cork and Shels over the last 2 seasons all aoppeared to be noticeably bigger from memory.
Looks overall that we could end-up with a 30% increase on attendances versus last year. Considering most Premier clubs had their single biggest gate last year against Shels, such a large increase is doubly impressive with the Reds languishing in the First Division at the moment. A hugely positive step if it such an increase sustains and builds further next year.
Why did we bring loads of fans up?Quote:

I'd say your right there. Terrible home crowd and an eve worse away one ! only about 25/30 cork fans up for the game.Quote:

I'm in no way a Cork apologist but Bray on a Monday night would be hard to get to. Especially considering that a few may be heading to Drogheda on Friday. Trying to explain to your boss why you need time off work on a Monday to go to Bray when you've already got the time off for Friday probably isn't that easy.Quote:

We played Cork last Friday night, it was Derry last night which is more understandable.Quote:

Certainly sounded like more than 7 when the City goal went in. Thought I could hear the drums from the TV coverage as well.Quote:

Recent matches missing -
Bohs v Galway
Bray v Rovers
Drogheda v Sligo
Longford v Waterford
Pat's v Bohs
Sligo v Pat's
Shels v Kilkenny
Wexford v Monaghan
Bray v Rovers i would have said around 2500. great crowd at this even with the champions league on...
Wexford v Monaghan was 650 according to Wexford People.
Bray v Galway tonight, poor crowd. I'd say about 800-900.
There was more then 700 at the Bray v Cork match, i would say it was near 1000 and about 900 against derry on monday aswell.
420 at UCD-Longford.
Would have said 250 tops myself but you do know better.Quote:

That's official btw.
Great support from Longford tonight. Fair play.
I thought it sounded a little high myself (thought maybe 300-350), but I was told that was the official attendance.Quote:

100 Town fans or so. Bit away from 50/50. ;)
Crap game, but don't care. Next week's the big one.
Bohs v Galway (2) crowd of 1800 according to our MB
No way was there 320 from UCD there :eek:Quote:

i think 370 was announced
Pats v Bohs - guessing 2,000:
Surprisingly low attendance, Monday night and live on tv probably the excuses. There were 570 in the away end, 1,430 home fans is probably a good guesstimate.
Pats v Rovers - guessing 2,750:
Away end just about full (it holds 957), main stand about two-thrds full (1200) and another 600 on the terraces.
Kildare County V Athlone Town: 73
