It was a good start to the season.

At times during the game both teams played football that was a joy to watch and the whole attendance stayed on the end to cheer the teams off the pitch.

Next up is Limerick and if we manage to get a result there we could possibly add a couple of hundred to that for the Waterford game on the 29th.

The Rovers match is on a Tuesday and clashes with the next round of the Champions League so I don't think we'll get that many.

I'd say c.400 for the Mons game too. Majority of them Shels fans of course.

I know a few lads who were doing the stewarding and were able to let a few mates in that way.

The 2,000 estimate seems a bit light to me, hardly 750 empty seats in the Jodi?, 150 from Derry alright.

The attendance at Turners Cross was disappointing. A crowd of 3,410 compared to 4,791 at the first home game last year.

End block almost empty, 2nd block no more than half full. Looked pretty full from there down to the school end of the Jodi.

I was in the Jodi doing commentary and the general consensus was between 1750-2000.

As ORA has stated, the shopping centre end of the Jodi was totally empty.

I could actually see three empty seats in my immediate vicinity.

People were standing a lot, and it was probably hard for later-arriving fans to spot seats.

That happens all the time at Turners Cross. They delayed kick-off for ten minutes because of it.

People are always standing outside the Derrynane Road Stand as well for some reason.

1750 sounds a bit high for this type of match, if it is correct thats quite impressive.
