Definitely looks around 400-500 there. Great following for them, to be fair.
Great to get these figures from those that were either at the match or is good at estimating. Well done m8! :)Quote:

I'd have said nearly double that tbh. There were a lot of Harps in the main stand, and 30/40 behind the goals. Probably about 80-90 in all.Quote:

I got a return train from Dublin and there were loads of Shels fans on the same train.
40 to 50 Bray fans at the RSC.
Yeah I was probably erring on the lesser side as I couldn't see how many were in the main stand. Quite a few there came down to the players at the end tbfQuote:

Out of interest, where did you get a figure of 500 from?
Think it was close to 1300 Pats fans in TallaghtQuote:

or
'As mentioned previously in this thread, there was 1200 pats fans in Tallaght' & 'Think it was close to 1300 Pats fans in Tallaght'
For an average of 1250.
So, I think between 1,000/1250 would be a fair estimate, and thanks for the input as its always great to get another fans information.
Well done 2 Year Contract :D
probably only 10 ish longford in Galway, away support is non existent these days even for what is one of our handiest away trips.
yeah very disappointing. Think the bad weather earlier might have put off a few from travellin considerin the pitch inspection earlier. A few of us counted away support think it could be at most 20 away fans.Quote:

Think there was about 6 Cobh fans up on Friday….
Yeah, three or four lads travelled up from Cobh and there's a couple of Cobh folk based locally here. Around 6 or 7 there. Fair play to the lads who done the trip as well!
2,193 official for this game, but there were some seats (not many) free in the small stand. Also not sure what away terrace can fit but it was fairly jammed, 600 seems a bit on low side, also that would suggest almost 1600 home fans, which I`m not sure there was?Quote:

Why do Drogs have such a poor home support? It must be the state & conditions at United Park. Even when they were challenging in the day, they were lucky to attract 2000+
Anyone from the area able to give some insight into the Drogheda's attendance or support problems!
United Park is a bit of a death trap. The main home stand where they have their vocal support is in utterly dreadful condition. Was in it during the behind closed doors games and couldn't get over how bad it was.Quote:

If you build, they will come! :)

Thought away section held more than 600 at Drogs, but maybe it has been reduced due to H+S, great atmosphere in away end but its so dark in start / end of season months.
It also makes a mockery of minimum standards for club licensing. Are Drogheda still claiming every year that they're moving to another stadium ?Quote:

Dundalk have had success and decent crowds at various points over the decades, but Drogheda just had a flash in the pan moment for both earlier this century. I guess Drogheda isn't as solid a 'soccer' town as the likes of Dundalk and Sligo are (despite Drogheda being twice Sligo's size) ?
There were 60-70 Drogheda fans in the away end at Turners X tonight.
25 poor f**kers in the RSC.
Could never understand why Drogs had so small of a support(not having a go here btw) the ground is in Moneymore,a working class area with a big population.. out to the west of the town is Rathmullen - another big,working class estate although a couple of miles from the town.Those areas are where you'd expect the core support for Drogheda to come from.Quote:

Don't the FAI own the ground! They are never going to not give themselves a licence.Quote:

I would regard winning the league in 2007 as 'successful'.
Their current average is 1,973, bigger than anything in the first division, except for Waterford. Drogheda is very much a 'soccer town' - the club brought a huge amount of supporters to the 2005 Cup Final, which had by far the biggest attendance in years - over 24,000. Any time they get to a Cup Final, it's a big occasion for the town.
They've never been a successful club, with nothing like Dundalk's history, and the fans are particularly fickle. I've always enjoyed the atmosphere in United Park, but , apart from more seating being installed, it hasn't really changed much since the club moved there in 1979. Average crowds should be better, and probably would improve if they were playing in a decent stadium.
Hard to estimate a crowd when your amongst it but my thought upon a quick nosey was about 200 for Derry. There was some older fans and families given access to the end block of the wee curved roof stand due to the weather. The rest of us just got drenched within about 30 seconds!Quote:

Even looking at their other home attendances you could argue maybe up to 500 of the crowd were there supporting us.
I would have said up to 500 Galway fans in Athlone . Biggest away crowd we’ve brought to the new stadium in Athlone
Can safely guess that there was more Galway than Athlone fans at it!Quote:
