Would have put Harps Kildare at 2000 tops. Very few in the stand to the left of the seats,and a good bit of room on the Town End terrace.

Wasn't completely full when I saw it on el weekly. Was 1443 earlier in the season so would say about 1100-1200 for this one.Quote:

About 1150-1200 at the RSC for the Drogheda match. Stand was fairly full plus around 50 standing outside.
Overall poor enough crowds for Cup Semi Finals. Pity the Bohs-City game not on Sunday as I sure we could have got large away support.Quote:

That's a good crowd for 2 teams with little left to play for.Quote:

I know there was and is still the chance of Galway technically being at risk, but it's difficult to see past Longford especially now, or Waterford either really.
Time will tell I guess.
That's because we beat you!
Had we lost on Friday we'd only be ahead of Waterford on GD and we're away to them this Friday.
It was a must win game for us, thank god for the chinese gambling syndicate for arranging the floodlight failure...
Galway can't get relegated as they won the get-me-out-of-jail Licencing Cup ;)Quote:

This is very true - I don't trust the unofficial "league tables" that are printed in the papers and on websites and such. They've been known to be wrong before. :)Quote:

Kildare County V Kilkenny City:
220 glutons for punishment.
That figure represents paying customers only so it doesnt include season/concession ticket holders. There was another 150-200 standing around.Quote:

Are freebies included in official attendances?
I heard during the week that the GAA gave out 15,000 free tickets for last weekends Railway Cup (Interprovincial Finals) but the official attendance was 10,000. :D
GAA attendances give the figure that actually turned up (no. of tickets scanned at turnstiles). The 55,000 Cyprus game seems to show that the FAI are now following the policy (seeing as tickets sold should have been closer to the Germany attendance and there were quite a few no-shows). The old Lansdowne road figures, where the attendance was nearly always exactly 34,000 people showed that the FAI didn't care too much about announcing the correct number.Quote:

Everybody who enters the ground should be included in the attendence figure whether they had a free ticket or not.
Thought 1000-1100 too, can't understand the figure of less than 900.Quote:

Radio reports had the attendance at 1800 for Cobh, their highest attendance all season :eek: We were disappointed with our attendance.
There is close to 1500 heading to Kilkenny. (well there was before friday, id say the majority still heading)

Recent missing games -
Bohs v UCD
Bohs v Longford
Derry v Rovers
Drogheda v Bray
Sligo v Cork
Sligo v Waterford
Kilkenny v Wexford
Shels v Cobh
Wexford v Dundalk
There's not great support for Cobh at all. Harps would be a better addition to the Premier crowds-wise than Cobh would be.Quote:
