Nowhere near on the new stand SPX, sadly, but ye're all right otherwise. :)
920 paid in through the gate Friday night, hence that number floating around. With season tickets and the first-child-free scheme the actual attendance was just over 1200, cigar for 5forkeeps.
The new stand had about 500 in it, maybe a smidge more, another cigar for oldyouth. :D

Seriously, Oldyouth is a year off the tipped cigars on 29th May. I had 6 sponsors tickets (thank you) for the extended family last night. Enjoyed the craic but the far stand was nearer Ferrycarrig Park than where we were sitting:D and had to be 1/3 full at best

It holds 1700-and-odd, and I made it a bit over 500 in there, does that not square with a third full at best? Don't make me take that cigar back! :p :D
(and fair play, may think about jacking them soon meself!)

hmmmmm well I didnt guess there were 1100 in the new stand I only went on what a youths fan in the main stand told me :p tho been in the stand looked more than 500 in it! hmm 1200 isnt a terrible turn out I spose :p

slightly over 200 i would say, not a lot mind.

Stu - what figure are you taking for the Dundalk v Shels game ?

Not very good at judging crowds at away ground but would estimate about 140 at Kildare vs Athlone friday night. 30 plus of them from Athlone

Pats's official attendence now up on their site.

FD is an average crowd in the First Division; PD is an average crowd in the Premier Division. I've only put that in where the attendances was when the club was in a different one to their current division.

Recent games missing -
Fingal v Longford

Estimates in but official figures missing -
Bohs v Harps
Harps v Pat's
Fingal v Dundalk
Cobh v Bohs

Poor crowd in Finn Park tonight, roughly 1500 with about 50 Rovers fans.

Monaghan United v Dundalk 502 official
I guessed 350-400 so I am rubbish at estimates. I have since learned that my guess for the Sporting Fingal game was well under too.

395 for UCD v Galway. About 15 Galway fans, including squad members. Still up 50% on the crowd last season.

I would guesstimate approx 650 at Youths V Lim 37 last night, with approx 630 going home very happy indeed:D

905 announced at Shels v Kildare.

Up 50%?! What was it last year? That crowd is really pathetic for a premier division match... was it really worse last year?
