Wasn't near 300 but the most that travelled from Sligo in a fair few years. The away allocation is 150 and you had about 50 outside that too
talked toa few after the gasme. Same kind of opinions about the game as most Pats fan. Good game, Sligo on top in first, Pats finished strongly. Probably could've nicked it right at the death
Paul Cook spent the night in mcDowells too, so he seems to like Pats fans too
So,in your opinion,Sligo fans travel the breath of the country to see the opposition play?Quote:

He really makes an effort to talk to everyone.
About 300 at Youths - Shels
apparently no offical attendance at gufc -v- dufc for some reason? but guesstimates are around 800-850
Wasn't sure of the year (thought it was a bit before that) but yeah, that might've been the biggestQuote:

3048 per extratime for Rovers v UCD. Was thinking about the 3000 mark myself.
792 was announced apparently. No more than 150 people in the standQuote:

The FAI, which I'm sure it still does, is supposed to be made of branches as well, e.g. the Munster FA. All of these branches need to work more on developing the game within the provinces. Nationwide the league lack enough derbies to keep interest. Some see it as more a Gaelic minded thing but I can only really ever see Irish football fans getting behind a club from their region or county. In some cases a team should be created for an area. Like South Leinster for example, Kildare County didn't exactly work, which was a shame. Maybe a club could be created with a name that will get support of that area.
For me, it's good to see a Kerry side not part of the League of Ireland. Hopefully in years, Dynamos will progress and gain support.
Getting more back to the topic, this league is more a League of Leinster this year. Only Galway and Sligo mixing things up, at least they have their Connaught derby I guess.
To create more interest nationwide, the FAI might want to move away from a 10 team division and increase it to 16. It's give more of a chance for Dublin derbies, Leinster derbies, Munster derbies, Connaught derbies and Ulster Derbies in top flight. Hopefully it is something they could move to which would create more interest nationwide, more coverage, more derbies and hopefully better attendances. If over 16 clubs could show themselves capable of being awarded a Premier Division licences, it is definitely a direction the League of Ireland should go.
Good crowd in tallaght last night for a monday night
Dodge,
Your guessimates are getting worse :)

I'm only half joking re crowds.
Brutal from both sides. The actual figures don't matter
Drogs v Bohs last night was about 800 or so.
The other Drogheda ones you're missing would be something like 500 for Drogs v Bray. And 600 for Drogs v Sligo
True. I was hoping for over 1000 at least but I guess that was wishful thinking.Quote:
