1,061 given on extratime.ie for Galway v Dundalk..
I'd say about 1,000 at Drogs V Bray. No more than about 25 Bray fans.
There fans where brilliant it has to be said. They really helped to raise their teams performance. Once we missed the penalty it lifted the fans and they really helped the team.Quote:

Good crowd, decent return for ye. I'd be happy if we got that many tomorrow, but our prices are ridiculousQuote:

381 official in wexford last night
3253 is the official figure I hear today, and there were 30 more dignitaries and assorted hospitality types not included in that, plus as large a press contingent as we've had in a while (U-21 internationals included). Never seen as many photographers there! :eek:Quote:

And where will they all be when you play your next home game ?Quote:

521 at Harps Athlone.
Would have said about 2,000 at tolka yesterday - Richmond 2/3 full, so 1,000+ there. Lego less than half full. Riverside was open and had a few hundred.
Best football I've seen us play in a long time.
Considering there was around 15,000 across the road at the bogball then it wasn't a bad turn out.Quote:

482 was on extratime.ie, which hardly is a figure that would be non official?Quote:

That's been dismissed by many misguided souls already, and no doubt will be again, but ask yourself, how many would we have had at this game if Jim Magilton was still managing them? That's right, 1272. Possibly the effect is wearing off elsewhere, Cork only had virtually the same attendance as ourselves on Keane's third visit there in as many years, but not here where it was a novel occurence.
People were convinced that this was an event, and Irish people may not like having to get off their arses to go support a team, but they are rather partial to an event.
BTW, we are all highly intelligent down here otherwise, and everyone knows where Ipswich is. :D
I don't get your point dcfcsteve.
Of course the majority of them won't be back (though it is to be hoped some will, we'll see on Saturday).
Should we not have bothered then? :confused:
