(here goes...) We already are the biggest club in Munster!! Doubt we'll get any major crowds IF we go up. 372 at an important game against Harps last week (Saturday night, loads of excuses). I'd say IF we went up, we'd average over 1000 per match. The last time we were promoted under Jimmy McGeough (2003), we already had good crowds in the First and were getting about 2000 in the Premier. I don't think we'd match that now.Quote:

Ha. That was David Hennessy's fault! Thanks, but sure why don't you just book in for our games against Bohs and Rovers next season and completely jinx us!!:DQuote:

Not bad considering it's one of the worst season's in the clubs history.
Not bad. They should work on doubling that core group of support.Quote:

Harps always have a good support when they are in the Premier.
If I remember correctly they always had the guts of 2000 the last time they were up in a not too spectacular season.
I'd wager your the first to suggest this. Shame on harps for not trying to double it before handQuote:

Hard to work out Monaghan's average when they havent an attendance recorded for the last 7 home games! Any Mons out there able to update their attendances?Quote:

And Tony, they would have less interest in joining the League of Ireland than Real Madrid would (all this talk on here of pyramid systems baffles me tbh.)
Tis. I think they're building new dressing rooms.Quote:

DundalkFC live updates on Facebook say:
And is on the nail imo.Quote:
I counted close to 600 at UCD-Sligo Rovers tonight, good crowd in from both sides, especially as leading up to the match there was miserable weather and the red players were delayed due to a crash on the M50. Horrible reffing though.
I'd say there was well over 5000 in the Brandywell tonight.
The stand was full so that's about 3000 and there was easily over 2000 on the other side of the ground.
Pathetic away support, just over 300 I'd say.
Stand was full so that 2400 SH, plus say another 200 "standing" in it.
4,000. Tops.
Thats a helluva crowd,yee will be standing on the pastures and the cowpats next week in gortakeegan judgeing by this!Quote:

Cork city v Salthill - 1,172 to see us make Salthill look really good!
I'd say 1200 max in Richmond last night.
Poor attendance again at Longford last night, 180ish I guess.
Times has the following
Terryland 1,080
Oriel Park 1,400
Belfield 450
Richmond 900
Tallaght 3,650
Derry City V Finn Harps Att 3,951 saw Derry clinch the league despite Harps busting their balls to confirm 7th place in the league for themselves :P
That was very good considering it was ****ing down the whole game!About 1,000 poor souls had to stand out in it as the back of the stand was full (200ish) with people standing the whole way across almost.
Stu, all the figures this year don't include the Glentoran stand which has always at least 100 in it (180 last night).
That's a fairly skewed view of how the result would have been viewed at the time, I'd imagine.Quote:

Forgive us for not rolling over and letting you have the league on a plate. Seems to be in Derry it's only a derby when it suits.
I assume it's because the people in that stand aren't charged for admittance. The seats aren't individual, but are a long bench type, so I don't think it meets licensing requirements. We can't charge for them, but we can let people in for free. Think that's how it works anyway.Quote:
