2008 attendances

[L37Ultra]

All we have to do is cut the foot long grass that passes for a terrace and add some spinach to the hot dogs.

Sorted!!

And go quiet everytime someone is taking a freekick.

Not a great judge of away games but was informed that less than 1,800 at Bohs V Derry,and Derry once again brought the best away support outside of the Dublin area.

Are Connaught not the poor relation of the other provinces in rugby?

Connacht were playing Londodn irish to a sell out crowd of over 4000. It was pouring rain in Galway and there was less than 20 there from Bray,

You'd think for the presentation of the trophy, they'd have more fans crawling out of the woodwork.

IIRC, Sligo sold out their game when they were awarded the First Division title.

[Inside Man]

This week's Sligo Weekender newspaper estimates the crowd as 1,500.

Indeed. But if you bought every other Sligo Weekender this year you will find the same figure quoted. Even when we only have 900 at a match to 2,100.
So do a bit of research before posting, since when has any newspaper got near to the actual attendance. To be honest I can't really see where the 2,117 was got i would have guessed under 2,000 but that is the official firgure lads.

That's a bit different then, thanks. Would a regular rugby match for them take much away from the Galway United crowd on a Friday then?

and a guess at the Derry attendance

Are you including the http://www.kindergarden-rent-a-crowd...illthestand.ie in that which was almost 1,000?

If you mean those who formed the guard of honour at full time for our team of champions, i think you'll find they are some of the clubs schoolboy section.

"Champions and you still won't sing"

You must have had a lot of drink id say,Crowd was well over 1800 about 2500-3000.

A lot more than 1800 he was on a bus for a while drinking,then he got to Dalymount had a few more drinks (of bitter).

Since we won the league,a couple of Derry fans have been drinking a lot,Derry(Davy) and Candystripe.

[Bohemian1890]

Jodi holds 2750 so about 3000 at Hunts testimonial.

2800 actually

[bohs til i die]

2800 actually

what is 2800?

Believe it or not a fair amount of people in Galway alternate between both of us.Obviously both teams have their hardcore following but there could be anything up to a couple of hundred who chose their game based on opposition/importance etc.

Both teams get crowds of 4000+ when they've a big game against good opposition.

[Bohemian1890]

I though the Jodi held 2800,but on the site it says 3000

"Champions and you still won't sing"

Well, I couldn`t get a seat outside of the A section of the jodie, where the 35 Derry fans with the faux Lambegs were, along with the Bohs schoolboy teams, (smallest Derry crowd I can remember since they were admitted to the league). Easily 2,800 Bohs fans there. Offensive banners also had to be removed from the small Derry turnout. Ultimately decided to vacate A to escape the Drum banging and went to the shed. Great atmosphere after the game!
Reckon Derry are the most effective team we`ve played this season, interesting cup final if we both get there

And have Galway ever played this 'big game against good opposition' cos I don't recall ye ever getting 4000plus.
