550 official attendance at Harps - Wexford.
I'll guess about 10% of that will be in FP tomorrow night for the League cup game.

Soccerway agree with you, giving figures 185, 165 and 158 for Mervue's three home matches, but seem to back up Salthill's 347.Quote:

Pity about the standard of play, and lets have less complaining about the state of the pitch from the players and managers. If full-time players can't pass the ball better than what was seen today these guys are being overpaid. No surprise that the facilities at Dalymount have been neglected when massive wages were paid to players who simply did not deserve them or were good enough to be fulltime footballers. Pats very poor, and have no hope of the title if todays performance is any indication. A good result for Bohs and I hope all goes well for Callaghan as I used to watch him play for Crewe Alex a long time ago.
I was just wondering, did anyone hear a figure from the Longford Town - Blues
game last night ?
Nothing official but somewhere around 350-400 would be my guess.
Terrible crowd really when you consider most people had Longford and Waterford down as the two teams to finish right behind Limerick this year and Longford, top of the league and on their best run in years.Quote:

I was actually happy enough with the crowd to be honest. It's all relative - compared to last year it's a marked improvement. Similar to the Clasico, but with less away fans, so Longford support recovering. A bit of buzz back as well.Quote:

1423 was quoted on ET & RTE. Terrible attendance, though not surprised, as it was on a Sunday, match was on the box and it was a glorious day.Quote:

Love the way this is used as a potential excuse for fans staying away! LOI fans use the rain and sun as excuses for fans staying away. Beginning to wonder if there's any weather combination that will convince them to turn upQuote:

I would have thought Bohs' terrible start to the season kept their fans away more than the weather/RTE
155 at RSC tonight
543 in Cork
Overcast, but dry? Some people do have lives away from the LoI. A nice day is more likely to mean days out with the children, other outdoors activities, jobs around the garden/ farm etc. You can dismiss it all you want, but football isn't the very top priority for everyone who follows the league - the facts speak for themselves with lower attendances in the summer months which are on the face of it better for watching football (warmer and dryer).Quote:

200 at sd galway longford town game acc to the star. what was the story with the segregation and the cordening off? it was ridculous to say the least and separated the huge crowd that travelled up into three separate groupings!
About 400 at RSC today according to a lad at the game.
Huge crowd??? the total attendance was 164 and after the weekend the first division makes sorry reading for soccer in Galway ?Quote:

Harps fan that told me 400 so I'd suppose it would have been better coming from someone knowing the ground better. All in all, no matter how bad the team are, thats a horrible attendance for Waterford. There was about 15-20 Harps fans there too from what I hear.
Longford fans moved into home section to make it look like larger home attendance than travelling support shock !Quote:
