1,400 as the official attendance is very poor considering we had 2,000 for our last game of the season against the Rovers B team with little to no away fans. Rovers had the biggest travelling support I've seen at a Town match in a long long time and I remember thinking on the night that our attendance looked very bad. I'm actually very surprised there was such a small home turnout.
Galway fans constantly ribbing us about not having many locals playing is very tiresome from a City and County with literally ten times our population. I think you'll find a huge amount of Longford fans also have to "do all their business" or live in Dublin, that is just the reality. For the record, we do currently have a local lad in the senior squad.

700 was the only estimate I was given. Have an email sent off looking for official stat but haven't checked it yet this morning to see. If there's an official figure online though that's helpful.Quote:

So roughly 600 rovers fans were in there.
This is taking attendance arguments to a whole new level. I've seen arguments about how many people there were, how much the ground holds, over-inflation of crowd size, counting of stewards/officials and a whole host of other minor arguments, but how many rows of seats and how many seats in each column, that's a new one. Fantastic though.
Good luck trying it in Finn Park.
Ha I'd forgotten about the antics from both clubs for that semi final. "They screwed us down there so we'll screw them even more up here"! The FAI had to mediate eventually to allow us to sign Kirby and Reynolds that summer.Quote:

Sat night this area had a good few areas vacant especially section 0 side of that area. For that reason, and just a rough estimate there were about 550-600 Rovers fans. But on my reckoning I'd go with 600.
I'd say if everyone in the Rovers section had to sit down in their seat, there'd have been less empty space than there was, but I'm not going to count the seats.
Well when you're out there 5 days of the week for the last number of years you'll end up counting them on a break just to pass the time.
I think it was 3749 announced here in Oriel.
1375 at Eamon Deacy Park,
Yeah 3749 in oriel. Terrific crowd!
No figure given in Tallaght. ET have estimated 4,000 which sounds a bit high to me.
Great crowd at Oriel.
Just under 1400 at EDP tonight. Happy enough with that considering we lost both of our opening games and Drogheda wouldn't be the biggest crowd puller (no disrespect to the Drogs). Hopefully the crowd will be closer to the 2k mark for Longford next week.
518 at RSC for Waterford v Harps
We always bring a big away crowd to Galway its a short trip and a lot of people do make a weekend out of if, lots of interest in it already.Quote:

Probably counting all banned and absentee ST holders in that.Quote:

Three games into the season, that is woeful to be getting. If Limerick are still in the same general position when the MF opens, I wonder how many will actually turn up for that first game?Quote:

I'd estimate that there was at a push 3500 in Tallaght, but probably less.Quote:

Yeah, that one was a mistype by me.
Sligo announced on twitter just there official attendance for tonight's game is 2,230. Cork also tweeted there attendance is 2,934. According to @LOIDOTIE 942 is the attendance in Richmond.
1,893 at Dalymount, don't have a figure on away support as was hard to gauge but it looked around 400?
Yep, good away support in Dalymountfor a tuesday, 400 or so is about right
Could have been another 100 in the Jodi from the amount of people I saw there from Dundalk.Quote:
