I'd say Terryland pretty much sold out 5000+ there I guess
3,700 announced at halftime last, but it feels like closer to 5000! Absolutely rammed in.Quote:

The only time 'indoor' at the match as you say would have been in the jacks so would have been surrounded by fellow Derry fans. Your derogatory stance towards Donegal is funny also considering ye have quite a lot of fans from the countyQuote:

2200 Dundalk v Longford.
Looked like the biggest attendance at the Brandywell for a league game in years.
Est, 4,000+
A solid if unspectacular 2000-2300 in Richmond last night. We obviously have a lot of fans dusting down their scarfs and old jerseys for the cup final.
Good crowd down from Harps as well. Must have been over 100 anyway.Quote:

Both games have plenty of reasons to attract the fans on the night. :confused:
Harps fans making a big effort. A collective march to finn park has been organised to help drum up a big match atmosphere.
Yeah, good vibes around at the minute. I’d expect a couple of thousand at a minimum.
The Shed side army in Dundalk doing something similar for our fixture v Derry. A celebration of the takeover and the lifting of the Peak6 siege.Great to see it.Quote:

This Marching business is catching on.
All part of an initiative to make an all-island league more attractive to our Northern brothers and sisters.
Brilliant ;) :cool:Quote:

Wow the county certainly came out to support Harps tonight. That’s an incredible crowd.Quote:

Good practice for Sunday week so.Quote:

2500 or in that ballpark was mentioned on loitv.Quote:

2612 at the RSC.

Not too bad for a side finishing 6th but a good vibe with the new owners first game.
Obviously getting a bump in numbers due to stadiums being back to full capacity after a long gap and also the end of season factor but I have to say the attendances have been more than decent around the grounds and maybe this could be a sign of further increases to overall/averages for next season.
Worth pointing out that the 7,765 attendance in Tallaght on Friday is the biggest League attendance in 20 years plus.
What was the last one ? Did the Cork-Derry end of seaosn title decider in 2005 (?) not have a crowd similar or bigger than that ?Quote:

Still think Rovers v Pats in the RDS has the last big attendance.
For my money, the size of biggest crowds in recent years has been largely determined by stadia limitations. Rovers could presumably have sold more tickets if they'd a bigger capacity (?). Likewise the Cork-Derry game in 2005 was a sell-out. Not sure about the Rovers-Pats RDS game - as I don't recall that myself, and the RDS had quite a big capacity then. But I think we're at the stage where the only think stopping the occasional LOI game beating numbers like 7,796 is the fact that our stadia are all so crap. It wouldn't be hard to envisage a Bohs-Rovs derby game in a keenly contested season getting a big crowd like that.
Work on the North Stand in Tallaght is imminent which will bring us up to 10k capacity. Enough for our needs for the foreseeable IMO.
Trick is to make the 7k+ crowds a regular occurrence which I think is more than doable for Rovers with a winning team.
10 Tallaghts around the country and we’d be sorted. That’s a pipe dream though.
