Didn't look that many at the game in Terryland. Good crowd from Pats
Bray - Rovers, very good crowd, all the papers are saying around 3500, but I'd say more around 2700 figure, good rovers support, nearly filled the whole stand.

There was at least 300 standing at the back of the stand.
Small crowd at the car-park end (100 ?), but the other two sides of the
ground contained 1-3 rows of standing punters at all places, and more at the
clubhouse.
Would have estimated it at 2700-3000 before attendance announced.
As Paddyfield said, decent attendance, but Good Friday/league leaders/good away following swelled the crowd considerably.
We have Longford at home on Friday next, 1500 would probably be a decent turnout for this one. Connacht Rugby playing at the same time.
Aye massive crowd from Dundalk in Monaghan last night, shame the standard of play was terrible!! Useless with crowds so going to let someone else put a figure on it
I'd say there was about 900 there.
About 1200 at Wexford today I think,,thats good considering the footballers and hurlers both had big games!
waterford seem to be up by a couple of hundred this season so far
He's talking about the attendences being bumped up by Galway last year to make it look like more people came to the games. I remember the first Limerick visit of the season to Terryland where we counted about 700-800 people, but the official attendence given a few days later had it around the 1,300 mark I think, which was just a complete lie. Throughout the season away fans of other clubs made the point that they noticed similiar things happening, but Galway kept on(and apparantly keep on) denying itQuote:

PS I will be away next week. The official attendence at the Galway Uniited V Longford Town game on April 13th will be 2031. Longford will bring 63 fans and Galway United will lose another home game by a late goal.
Somethings are just too predicatble jebus.
-------------------
Galway Utd v Pats video so judge for yourself the attendance...
Well if there were 2 of you maybe one of you counted one half of the ground and another counted another half giving you 1400-1600 which wouldn't be far off the mark.Quote:

I guess it's a bit easier at Limerick's games... Does the dog the 2 men bring along count as a spectator? What about the guys who had to run around the other side of the wall to collect the ball so the match could restart?!
We don't charge for dogs :rolleyes:Quote:

Anyhoo, nice to see the first division average up so high even without Galway and Rovers. Would be a lot higher too without Monaghan and Kilkenny
Leave the Galway Lads alone! we all now know their bumping up of attendences is due to them seeing double due to their funny water! remember to boil the water lads! concern are digging a well as we speak. Thanks to the people of Uganda for their kind donations.
390, Cobh Ramblers v Kilkenny
You'd think so wouldn't you, but ye did get promoted off the back of it last year, so obviously they aren't too pushed about sending their own men out to check attendences.Quote:

GUFC give official attendances.
There's no made up figures like some Clubs(Sligo-who just go 1800,2200,1300 etc etc.)
The anti-Galway agenda from Limerick fans is just coming to the surface again.
Limerick fans having a go at other Clubs!:D
Conor, I don't think the release of official attendances is the point, it's whether those that Galway have released have been accurate. Having been at the match the Limerick lads are referring to, I have to say that I was very surprised when I heard the official attendance that night as well.
No just yourselves, thats cause we're bored and no-one responds with such wit and originality as you do.Quote:

Recent matches missing -
Derry v Cork
surprised someone from your neck of the woods even managed to get into double digits, never mind 3 digits. 4 was always going to be a problem to you!Quote:

The 1700 average you have for Rovers is a bit high.
V Longford - Not sure, you have it down as 2000 but thought it was only around 1600 myself. Nothing offical on the ultras forum.
V Galway 1100 (this is official, posted on members section of ultras forum)
V Dundalk (league cup) 779 again official figure

I'll start the Derry v Cork guessing at 3,000-3,200.
Substantially less by the end of the match.
What do Rovers fans expect the average attaendance to be when they (eventually) move to Tallaght. 1,700 is a disappointing average for a club which is historically the most successful. I would have thought they would have a much bigger following around Dublin
The weird thing is we're getting more away from home - 1,600 at Bohs last week, guts of 2,000 at Bray and well over 1,000 at UCD. Tolka is to blame - it's a dump and we're essentially still a Southside club.Quote:
