We're still below our average for 2003 last time we were in the Premier.
And we were bottom of the League most of that season :eek:

good crowd considering the appalling conditions summer soccer your having a laugh second home game in a row thats its lashed down,Great travelling support from kildare about 80 on a friday night which is good to see.We were expecting 1,500 plus but the weather put paid to that big time. :mad:
We've yet to play any Dublin teams yet. Though with the current state of De Bohez I wonder if they'll bring much of a crowd in two weeks.Quote:

6 weeks in and everyone seems to be doing substantially better than last year - and what's the story with the massive increases in Sligo and Limerick?
Have you no figure for the one on thursday? I would have guessed at a little more than 1,000, between 1,100 and 1,200 I'd say.Quote:

Here is a photo to prove to all the Galway Muppets who don't believe our attendance figures.
SRFC vs MUFC Attendance
First time i posted on this thread and i think it's stupid.Attendances are low for every club that all we need to know.This thread should closed.
Not at all, from this thread alone we can tell that there seems to be a fairly decent rise in attendences on last year in general, and in come clubs a dramatic rise. It's very important to keep track of these things.
How would you know if they're improving or not?Quote:

Well this thread is proof attendences are starting to grow each year... rovers game in dalymount this friday against cork will prove that too!!! ;) Nearly 4,000 or more hoops and ex-hoops are ment to be attending! :D plus the travelin corkies...
Technically, it can only be proof that attendances are growing this year! ;) Last year's thread showed crowds down 20% across the board - probably due to overstating the previous year, but still disproving the idea that attendances are definitely growing each year, I'm afraid...Quote:

I would guess the attendance for the game at the RSC was about 1400-1500? the main stand was definately not full and plenty of gaps around the ground also...1100 in stand and about 300-400 around the ground.
About 2,500 I'd guess tonight.
523 counted at UCD-Derry, including about 100 Derry fans who didn't even miss a drum beat when we scored! :eek: :p
I would have went with 2000-2500Quote:

The Jodi holds 2,800 and I'd say there was around 1,700 in it. Throw in another 500 in the Shed and I'd say there were around 2,200 at the game. A little bit disappointing considering the amount we had plugged the game, but it's still around a thousand more than would have turned out otherwise.
Fair play to Cork, brought a good crowd up.
The Derry fans were the best I've ever seen. Heroes.Quote:

Aye, Irish Times reckons "half the expected 5000 turned up" as well. 2,500 sounds reasonable. Still, a good crowd for Rovers compared to the last couple of seasons.Quote:

1,983 at Shels v Bray
1100 at Harps-Longford, according to the Harps forum.
One of the papers I read today said 3k at the Shamrock Rovers game. Make what you will of it. I suppose we're going for the lowest estimate anyway to err on the side of caution.
im going with 2,900 from what i saw when i was actually there! Unlike some people here who are going off what they saw on tv3; (ie the end of the jodi stand for away support which wasnt full) :o
