Just wait for the visit of the reds.

I'd say it was between 200-250. 250 definitely too high anyway. 220 would be a fairer estimate.

Athlone v Harps announced at 507 (i think

) would have knocked a hundred off that myself.

**gael353** · 19/04/2009, 1:12 AM

dont think it was announced (as there was music playing all the way through the match over the tannoy) but we counted 256

**Patrick Dunne** · 19/04/2009, 9:29 AM

I counted 80 people in the Corribside (new) stand, there were around 15 in the O'Connells Stand. Didn't count the clubhouse area, as I didn't want people there to think that I was staring at them ! Would have estimated max 30 people in that area - total of 125 - bump it up to 150 max.

Unless you are including players, management, match officials, and stewards I don't know how you came up with 256 !

no belive it or not two of us did the count and there was (second half) over 130+ heads in the new stand and over 30 in the old. didnt count ball boys or stewards but did come up to 256. shur ticket stubs will tell the true figure so we shall wait and see

Fair enough ! Was my first ever "count the crowd" attempt in 18 years of LOI football.

no worries the game was pretty ammm, yea and what you think of the music playing all the way through the game for those less interested

**The Midget Gem** · 19/04/2009, 11:12 AM

2,500 at Rovers-Bohs last night. Its a guess though.
1,550 Red stand. 350 behind the goals. 600 in Jinks stand.

Great Crowd from Bohs down, having games on a saterday night really brings out big away support which is good to see. Plus Rovers had a package deal with a local hotel for Bohs fans who wanted to go to the game and stay the weekend in Sligo. Seemed to work great.

**Patrick Dunne** · 19/04/2009, 11:15 AM

extratime.ie has an estimate of 1,900.

Fair nuf take that mate. but really i thought it was definatly a good 500 above that. Doesn't matter really.

Thats 'Brewer' my mate who does that report anyway. He wouldn't have as much of a clue as me

**red bellied** · 19/04/2009, 11:58 AM

Well over 2,000 in the Showgrounds. 1700 new stand, 300 in Jinks stand and 300 or 400 behind both of the goals.

Do you miss Division 1 Pa?! Or maybe you were on official duty trying to re-sign Derek Glynn!

Interesting idea. However, I drove straight back as fast as I could to Dublin.

**Rovers Maniac** · 19/04/2009, 4:37 PM

Would have said 2,500 in the showgrounds, Very decent crowd, lovely evening for it. By the way its Sligo Brewer from here who covers the game for extratime.ie.
