The official attendance was
1,008. As the Sligo Rovers fans were segregated it was possible to accurately estimate their number, 150-200, a large travelling support.

Both sets of supporters ..
.. behaved themselves impeccably. As gufct said, the spitting incident was not reported to any of our stewards. Both gufct and I were at a stewards briefing after the game.
It could have happened, no-one can legislate for morons.
One GUFC supporter spitting at a SRFC supporter doesn't make us all thugs.
One SRFC supporter giving Eric Lavine racist abuse doesn't make all Sligo supporters racists.
I wouldnt be too bothered about the Connor "fingers" incident, it only reflects badly on him.
Yawn ! :rolleyes:
PD.
