I was in the middle of the stand, was hard to estimate the away area from there. If it was less than 50, that is very poor.

It's always hard to tell on the stand. I though I was sitting next to two Drogs fans as they were silent when the goals went in. Turned out they were two Slovakian lads from the local PayPal office.
The crowd for last years EA sports final between Dundalk and Rovers was 3,500. For some reason an exact figure wasn't realised, but it compares favourably with this seasons.Quote:

Dundalk v Drogheda: 3,207
Bohs v Longford: 1,296
Derry v Shamrock Rovers: 1,200 estimate
Bray v Limerick: 500 estimate
Cobh v Harps: 350 estimate
Waterford v Cabinteely: 348
UCD v Wexford: 250 estimate
Athlone v Shelbourne: 250 estimate
In defence of Drogs there were over 100 of them there in the end, though only about 30 at kickoff time. It was on TV, they're poor and they were on a hiding to nothing so you can see the appeal of giving it a miss and watching on TV. From behind the couch presumably. And even if they aren't very good they're still one of the top attractions at Oriel
Rovers, Bohs, Pats are bigger attractions, so now are Cork!Quote:

Dundalk V Drogheda Attendance: 2,383
Looks like roughly the same amount of people will turn up for both
Damn you and your 'facts'. dfc10, damn you!Quote:

1,321 at Wexford v Athlone

Shels v Waterford - 513
Shamrock Rovers v Galway - 2,000 estimate on ET
Capacity of FC Park? Club record attendance?Quote:

Few images of the League Cup final. Ferrycarraig has potential to be a cracking little stadium if they could only have something like this a bit more permanent.

3,500 there for the league cup final according to Wiki (Or I could have read Nidges post properly - got too enthralled by the photos)Quote:

Hot on the heels of Cork City for the run n attendances. Do a bit better on the pitch next season and their average could be up nicely, Of course Dundalk having 1500 travelling support helps!Quote:

Drogheda v Bohs - ?
Longford v Pats - ?
Hmmm I'd have expected 2000+ for such a big game for Sligo. Rugby must have had some pull in the west and great game it was.
I presume your joking about the 1,500 travelling support.Quote:
