I'm sure there were some there, but I didn't see any in the traditional away area. Oddly enough I saw someone in a Derry shirt (the 2008 or so Meteor one I think) walking up the steps into the Shed pre match.Quote:

The flourescent shirt flag is still knocking about. Needed repairing after Derry came to town though.Quote:

Besides, it also advertises O'Neills and Donegal Creameries. We had talked about updating it to have Legea and McGettigans on it..but...you know...effort.
I'd say no more than 600-700 in the Carlise grounds last night.
Summary of this weekends attendances:
2,403 - Cork City v Finn Harps
2,000* - Derry City v Bohemians
3,000* - Shamrock Rovers v Dundalk
500* - Wexford Youths v Galway United
600* - Bray Wanderers v St. Patrick's Athletic
1,542 - Sligo Rovers v Longford Town
300* - Athlone Town v Cabinteely
500* - UCD v Limerick
??? - Waterford United v Drogheda United
400* - Cobh Ramblers v Shelbourne
Certainly more than 2,000 at the Derry match, it was the biggest crowd of the season. 3,000 would be more accurate.
Would have expected more in Tallaght considering it was a 'top of the table' clash. Unless Rovers fans feared what prevailed in the end. I'd expect a good crowd for a Monday night in Turner Cross and surpass Fridays crowd in Tallaght.
Our fans were all terrified Bohs would come back and give us another thrashing.Quote:

Based on Friday nights display, your theory will not be tested anytime soonQuote:

It is conceivable but not the top draw of recent years, now if Rovers take 1000+ fans then that game is in with a shout of being one of the bigger attendances. But whats your point?
Athlone Town v Cabinteely 151
Woah.
250 to 300 max.Quote:

Decent away support, hard to estimate, 500? The again that would have meant just over 1,500 in the main stand, not sure there was?
Edit. Since heard up to 700 Dlk fans there last night, that might be right as there was no way there were more than 1,300 Bohs fans in the main stand. Defintely didn't look like it anyway.
Limerick v Waterford. 1457
Who knew being in the 1st could be so good. Walking the League and average attendances better than many clubs in the Premier.Quote:

So 450 v 700 away support last Fri in Dalymount. That's fine, I was only asking for clarification. If 300 in the Des K that would have meant 1,700 in the Jodi, it didn't look it. It was hard to estimate the away support while in the middle of it.
Anyway, 2,170 at Dundalk v Galway, live on setanta and a small away support but still very disappointing from the home support. Crowds are well down this season with Dundalk, that's for sure, as this match would have got around 2,700 or so last year.
it would appear the 3k regular crowds from last season are gone for now. You can definitely see the gaps around the ground. Maybe they will pick up in series 2 when Pats, Rovers and Bohs visit, maybe not.

I actually thought it was around 2,500, surprised when 2,170 was given, but no reason for it to be incorrect I suppose.
A lot of freebies?Quote:

At least 350 UCD fans there too.Quote:

To be fair, I don't blame you for not coming to see the Rovers. We were alright but still needed two comical goals otherwise we'd never have scored. Sligo on Tuesday is a worry.
