Windmill - my main point was I was surprised the town of drogheda didnt support their club more even when they won things, I think the club deserved a lot better support after giving the town a first lge and cup win.
But you are right about other areas not supporting loi football, the consistency is very bad throughut the lge
Aye you're right, probably more like 1,650 Derry fans.That means as I said that not even all season ticket holders turned up and only a few hundred had bought tickets on the night.Quote:

thats nothing, weve played Derry 6 times, and we played Drogs 6 times, could have been 7 if they had reached the setanta cup final
i look forward to our 6 games against Sligo next year between league and Setanta
In fairness, walk around town and you'll see the amount of drogs gear worn around the town- its something else these days, seems to be 'cool' or something.Quote:

Even cork, who get teh best crowds at the moment, id love to see what attendance theyd get in the first division! Playing a couple of miles from turners cross and their crowd went very low while doing well in the premier. Same with every club though
For the record though theres no doubt we could increase our attendance if we'd proper facilities - not sure by how much though- our ground is hardly 'family friendly' at 25e if ye want a seat and facility wise, its not a place to bring your kids - theres actually no womens jacks in the home end would ye believe :o
any one got recent figures regarding attendances for second half of season it must be well down .Mr.Mooney need to get the finger out and his merry band of promotion officers .
Really ? The ongoing average here suggests they've been getting 10% less than City all season...Quote:

Another person who doesn't get the concept of averages!! Where do they come from?Quote:

In other words, Derry's average is higher than Cork's, but Cork haven't been getting 10% less than Derry all season. In fact, on seven occasions have Cork gotten higher than Derry's best non-Harps figure, and that could be more when you consider Cork give official figures whereas Derry's are guesstimates.
Stu - are you due to put up a latest attendance chart this week ?
Cheeky i know, but just wondering how things are looking towards the end of season
Wait until after Pats v Cork tonight I'd say.Quote:

3000/16 is indeed 187.5, but you've played them twice, and you're talking 4000 over your non-Harps average, so 8000/16=500.
2790 iirc at Terryland tonight.
A bad Harps team in the premier is worth 100,000 extra to Derry?Quote:

I'd say about 1,500 in Tolka tonight. And it'll be some fine for the flares! I'm sure someone will have a more accurate figure than that too.
Well if you consider that both teams are in the bottom 4 i think it's a good crowd.Quote:

Amazing atmosphere at the game,I believe RTE gave praise to the crowd tonight.
542 poor souls at a dull Limerick V Kildare tonight :( :(
wasn't a bad attendance for the match that was in it. just a pity Limerick couldn't finish with a win.Quote:
