The game itself wasnt bad but experience won the day for ye Rossitor and Fortune were the diff. Dundalk need two new central defenders, they are shocking and we said it to some disgruntelled dundalk fans at half time. They told us where to go, ten mins into the second half....:) those keystone defenders do it again...and two of the back four were subbed. Your new stadium looks class and is well located, the birds around town wern't bad either ;)

No inflation of figures here in Athlone. We all know down here that we have 350 max loyal supporters. We just need success to get all the sunshiners back and hope we can hang onto some of them if things go pear shaped again.

As you saw it would be extremely hard get new faces down to St Mels in the condition it is in. When we get to our new ground around August that will be easier to manage. I wouldn't want us in the premier anyways unless we could hold our own and not be whipped all the time.

a kildare steward mentioned that figure when asked late in the game.
about 900 Rovers fans in that crowd, if not 1000.

On the Kildare forum thye said at most 500 Rovers fans.:confused:
05/04/2006, 5:11 PM

the people selling the tickets for the kildare and Rovers game said they sold 1100 tickets and their average gate is usually less than 200. I'd say about 750 Rovers fans out of the 1100.
06/04/2006, 3:19 PM

I'd say you're talking around 1,300 for Drogs v Bray.
07/04/2006, 8:19 AM

Just a guesstimate at 600 at Dundalk v Galway last night - Dundalk fans views would be more accurate I'd say
07/04/2006, 6:30 PM

Dundalk fans say 300. Will split the difference and tend towards Dundalk's figure, so 400. I'm also taking out the 1200 from the Kildare forum for Dundalk v Kildare, which was down as "pathetic" on the Dundalk forum.

After all that, the average for this year is the exact same as last year. Which is worrying as we've still got the summer lull to come yet...

Does Lennox not give out the crowds in the programme any more?
08/04/2006, 8:55 AM
Dr.Nightdub

Considering the programme goes to print before the crowd gets there, that'd be some achievement! :D

The previous game's crowd, ya muppet! :p

Just over a 1000 for the game last night at the RSC against Shels.
08/04/2006, 11:54 AM

i'd say around 1300 at the rovers kilkenny match last night...
08/04/2006, 11:59 AM

I would have said around 1300 at the RSC main stand was close to full so 1100 I would have said.. erm.. counted 61 on the far side.. and there were a good few stadning beside both sides of the stand say like 150 -200 in total.. definately more than a 1000 around 100-150 shels fans

People rarely accurately count numbers in stand - they rarely account for empty seats sprinked throughout the stand.

1200 (according to a Rovers director) at Rovers v kilklenny last night

edited now. Perople just see 100 empty seats in one corner & assume that means all then othe 900 seats in that 1000 seater stand are full.

The Star gave 625 for Waterford v Shels.

Decent crowd in Inchicore last night. The Star gave 2,100 which would seem about right to me. Pats fans would know better though.
08/04/2006, 4:43 PM
Dr.Nightdub

I reckoned 2000 earlier - stand was about 2/3 full = 1200 and before the Hollywood Special Effects Dept unleashed that blizzard of hailstones in the second half, I'd say 100 or so in the Shed and 600 or so on the Camac.
08/04/2006, 4:53 PM

On RTE just now, they reckoned about a 100 for UCD - Bray ..

That was mad alright, fair play to the brave souls who stayed on the Camac terrace for the duration!

although they did say there was a few latecomers coming in through the turnstiles.

Saturday afternoon kicks offs and the "leinster effect" indeed.......

Uhhhhh, what?! There was 560 there. That's a usual UCD v Bray crowd. Why did they report such a wildly inaccurate figure? Was that on the radio?

Yeah; report from Siobhan Madigan(?) on Saturday Sport about a minute before kick- off

Giving the crowd a few minutes before ko in Belfield is an awful idea.

About 250 at Athlone vs Kildare tonight.
