So first night of the season? Any official/estimates/wild guesses of the match attendances?
I'd have said getting up to the 2000 mark at Richmond
A tad lower methinks. 1,850ish with only 40 Galwegians. Pineapple Stu won't be happy you've started this thread without him!
200 max at mervue Limerick. 70 there from limerick and four thieving ***** officials who should be banned for a year
sure he's only happy when he's complaining anyway... ;) j/k PS.
estimations of between 2900-3200 at Dalymount tonight. Not bad for a Spingal game, it seems we're actually doing a bit of marketing and getting those floating fans back. Need to keep it going of course.
LOI/Airtricity league website has Derry/Cork game down as highest attendance tonight, 3500.
We took about 350-400 down to Bray tonight.
Drogheda fans will be better able to give a good figure but the home terrace seemed to have more room in it than the last few times we were down. Maybe 8-900 in total?
Serious attendance at the Brandywell. Nice to see such a big crowd at Bohs too. I expect a good few at the Sligo game tomorrow.
Anyone from the Castlebar area heading to the Rovers game who has a spare seat? :(

Good attendance at the brandywell last night and fair play to the 150 from cork who travelled up at short notice sang their hearts out all night
I counted 60 or so lims fans and i estimate about 200 to 220 others overall about 280-300
George Guest was on the Gate and his son. George is anything but what you called him above, well respected by Galway Utd supporters and all of soccer in galway
For what it's worth, according to this mornings Times the attendances were-
Bohs v Fingal 2,500
Pats v Galway 1,554
Drogheda v UCD 400
Bray v Dundalk 1,500
I don't remember them printing the attendances in previous seasons.
683 was the official paid attendance at last night's Waterford v Wexford Youths at the RSC. There was at least 1000 there with season ticket holders and other concessionaries.
The Star today has 3,400 for Bohs (looked a decent crowd behind school end - is the roof gone in this area ?) 3,000 for Derry + 1,500 in Bray, would also agree 400 a mis print for drogs, sure they`ll bring that and maybe more next Sunday to us.
And so it begins again...
I guess a good 1000 at the Waterford/Wexford game last night! decent enough :)
Disappointing if that Pat's figure is correct.
By the by, here are the official Pat's figures for last year, only released recently I think. Average is 1686 if I remember correctly.

What was the Fingal contingent like in Dalymount? Where were you seated?
The BBC also had the same figure!!!
Actual attendance was 2,730...........................EDIT:EDIT:EDIT: OFFICIAL FIGURE 2779.
OUR FIGURES THIS YEAR WILL APPARENTLY BE OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL. :)
Most Derry fans were amazed how large it was and a massive crowd from Cork was up.They almost filled section A which holds 240.
Congestion at the ticket booths even after the game had started.
Heard the Dundalk lads were tearing the place up !
Fair play, sooner we get rid of those seats the better, they're in bits by now.
2858 in Sligo tonight - another brilliant attendance.
I'd have thought 400-500 from Dundalk representing over half the total at Bray. 1,500 attendance? No chance.
330 in Drom for Salthill and Athlone
