There were 37 of us in total
I was surprised it was that many they way McCaffery has destroyed the squad.
Not since our return to the Premier leauge in season 2009.
ah yeah thats right, didnt the FAI make you move back to Fridays? I remember going up there alright in 09 when ye had Georgie (who has been busy on twitter tonight by the way) and it was definitely a Friday
Have to disagree, Sligo brought about 900 at the start of the season and I would say the Bohs figure was about 600 max. Bear in mind that our attendance this season seems to have settled at 850-900 at home and the total attendence on Monday was under 1,500.
P.S. There is a quote of 550 went into the Riverside on the Shels forum.
Monday night is an awful night for getting fans out.......
MNS tweet re SD galway/mervue match att:
Monday Night Soccer @RTEMNS Game about to get underway here in front of 72 fans. #shocking #sunnyday #rtesoccer #mns
speaking of shoi*te attendances there is hardly be 300 here at oriel park.
Followed that with a tweet saying it's a poor match. Great way to promote the local game!
As per Extratime
SD Galway 0 - 1 Mervue United
81' - Offical attendance is a poor 228!

try 143 , 85 season ticket holders that stayed at home dont count for cup games, LOI football is officially dead in the city of the tribes, This was FAI Cup, where was the magic. Join the campaign stand tomorrow on shop street from 10am to end this madness and stop the lockout of LOI Loyal supporters from the game.
two tweets and one coriboard sign was the extent of the promotion of this FAI Cup game in Terryland tonight,
Poor attendances all round, looks as though ours might have been the highest of the night, though it's not saying much!
From ExtraTime:
SD Galway v Mervue 228
UCD v Pheonix 150 (est)
Blarney v Malahide 100 (est)
Dundalk v St Pats CY 300 (est)
Shamrock Rovers v Limerick 1300 (est)
Cork City v Athlone 1589
Derry v Finn Harps 900 (est)
Bohs v Drumkeen 510
Sligo v Mons ???
Drogs v Mayfield ???
The state of LoI soccer in Galway at present is a disaster. A local cup derby on a perfect evening in a lovely ground can't even get 150 people to turn up for it. How long will the re-branding of Salthill as a solution to the demise of Galway Utd be continued with if it clearly is not working. 2 or 3 years, maybe ten ? have the FAI a time-frame in mind as surely they did not expect this stunt to work straight away. Do other clubs in the league have an opinion on this ?
Rovers told the press the 'official' attendance was 1,250 (handy all their attendances are round numbers)
Friend was there and said about 800. In fairness though it's hard to judge a crowd spread out there
Why would they overstate the crowd when they have to give a share of the gate to limerick?
The Cup just hasn't got the same appeal anymore, horrible crowds all over last night.
I see on our forum that the attendance was 999 in Derry last night (I know, an apt number considering the scoreline). The reason for that poor of a crowd being, only about 50 Harps fans went in (more fools us eh?), none of us expected anything from the game with 7 players out.
On Derrys perspective, it's no longer even a contest between the 2 sides, they don't care and who could blame them.
Yep, even we weren't bothered with it this year.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
We still care, its our year!
Around 1600 at Rovers vs Monaghan
As long as Limerick get their one third(?) of approx 18.000 Euro from a 1250 crowd , it doesnt really matter .
Attendance for Bray v Shels?
Who Cares?!
Oh dear....
