Was at least 4,000 - and thats conservative. 4,500 would be my guess. Ultras stand was nearly 2 to a seat with people squashed in and on aisles. The two ends of it were closed for H&S issue. Main stand was around 3/4 full I'd say, thought Dundalk would have brought more.
Are tey ever gonna open all of the new stand?
Are there two per seat ticketing arrangements in place in Tallaght sponsored by a dating agency?Quote:

That adds up to 3,500 max, consistent with what the Dundalk poster reported above. Great crowd all the same.
Athlone Town vs Sporting Fingal Official attendance 327
About 15 Fingal fans travelled
It is well down on our previous games but we had community games, Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann and a former local (Tom Silke) players wedding which took a lot of the regular support away.
We had nothing to do with that. We brought a huge crowd down to Dalymount on Tuesday, I'd guess two away games in less than a week had something to do with the fall off in numbers.Quote:

I have no problem with any of that if its directed at the national media. Don`t expect posters on here who look for evidence of tens and hundreds in crowds, rather than thousands, to suck up the same PR spin.Quote:

In our defense, we would have had one more if migdit didn't get locked up!Quote:

Having seen pictures of the two stands I'd revise this down a bit, I was in the main stand and it wasn't as full as I though, probably still around the 4,000 mark though, maybe a shade under.Quote:

Now what Rovers have been doing up to now is assuming a certain percentage of season tickets are not going to turn up on the night and selling additional tickets accordingly. In reality what has been happening is Rovers have been selling 1500 tickets per match in addition to the number of season tickets. This is where the "phantom" seats are coming from. 2000 season tickets + 1500 per match tickets = 3500. Anyway this will no longer be an issue now we have the space.Quote:

4,212 at Rovers v Dundalk.

I don't know, all I know is they were selling more tickets than the number of seats in the main stand to make up for the season ticket holders that don't show up on the night.Quote:

Not a great crowd at all in the Brandy last night, maybe 2100 tops.
Derry V St Pat's 1,730 :(
How many did Pats bring?Quote:

Heard from someone who attended that there was about 80 max at the game
Monaghan v Athlone
About 80 on a terrible night for travelling supporters. We had a lot of support turn back due to the weather they ran into on the way up to Monaghan
Updated, thanks.
25 odd.Quote:
