I thought there was at least 1300 at RSC.752 seems very low as old stand was fairly full and a few hundred over in new stand with about 300 Cork fans there. I'lll look into that figure over on btid.

Don't know if that is correct but I have been told it was 1,829. Massive drop although very little away fans and maybe as we hadn't scored at home and the game being live on tv then hopefully we'll get an extra 500+ for the Pats game in a fortnight.Quote:

good crowd at monaghan longford town match I stand to be corrected but I am sure 600-700 people were at it. There was as many longford people as monaghan people at it due to the KG factor
Only 823 at Rovers Pats last night.
752 is laughable! where did that number come out of? :S at least 1200 there IMO
For the last time this season over 500 people attended Limericks home game Friday night.
546 at the debacle, about half that by the final whistle (I'm told, I was long gone.)
Around 2500 in the Showgrounds last night I'd say. 100 or so Pats fans, who to there credit, made plenty of noise despite their team being absolute ****e.
Hopefully we can keep these crowds up.
Is that official or an estimate? It looked like a lot less than that.Quote:

WindmillWarrior over estimating Drawdas attendances ?? No way ;)Quote:

That's more along the lines that I was thinking - 11 away fans!Quote:

Name says nothing about til the end of every match?Quote:

But the lowest crowd we've had so this season was for UCD - that was a crowd of 666, plus a couple of hundred under 14s who get in free. No crowd as been smaller than that so far. Thats a fact, and it has pleasantly surprised everyone! for the Rovers game they had a support there of around 900, maybe more - so you could even make that game a 50-50 split.
There's no way there were 900 there on Friday.Quote:

BTW although low on content I thought the programme looked excellent - really good quality printing and very reasonably priced at €2 - similarly €10 to get in to the terrace was good value.
There were a few heads in the bar alright, and a few who stand down in front of the clubhouse.Quote:

Also remember though that there is still a terraced area at the back (behind the seats) for standing, and a lot of people do still stand up there. Also the small seated stand holds 350/400 (tho that was half full at best on friday night)
Any attendance for the Setanta cup last night. Rovers v Rovers. Would have imagined a 4000 sell out though it was Monday.
Nowhere near that, probably about 2200 with around 250 Shams fans.Quote:

Didn't think it was too bad for a Setanta cup game, second home game in 48 hours too
Were you being serious?! 2200 was a great crowd for a monday night in a competition with very little interest.Quote:

Can we get back on topic here?
The official attendance for tomorrow's game between Galway United and Derry City at Terryland Park will be 1,412. It would have been more if we had taken our chances agains Drogheda last weekend.
Fair play to the 200 city fans who will make the long journey on such a miserable night. And damn those Connacht Rugby people for having a game on the same night.
Thanks for that...Quote:

Sitting in the old stand it always looks very full, but when you look at it from the front, its looks empty with nobody in block A/b or any of the front 10 rows in all blocks. I would have said 900ish, but no-where near the people saying 1200/1300.Quote:
