Extratime had it down as 450est. I think Longford have got over 500 on a few occasions.

Very poor home support for a Cup semi-final. I'd say the crowd was 50-50 maybe 55-45 in favour of Dundalk.

Did you count yourself?

Really poor attendances in both semi finals. Be lucky if there is 10k at the final this year.

Derry can get a cup final bandwagon. What did Shels bring last year?

4k I think

(don't even know why I'm answering this as all it's going to lead to us a "we brought way more then that" v "they never brought that many" debate)

Thats basically what this thread is. Cheers though.

Weird that attendances were so low. Both games looked terrible on TV. Hopefully there's a much better sense of occasion at the Aviva.

See now, I'm not too sure if I did or not.

It was actually an increased attendance for us compared to most league games. Symptomatic of our home performances this season. Really apathy about.

What was the attendance at the Derry v Dundalk league game last Tues?

700 odd, AFAIK. Horrific stuff.

Whats happening up in Derry? I always thought ye would be one of those clubs with such a hardcore support ye would always have big (LOI wise) crowds through thick and thin. What would have happened if ye had spent another few years in the First Division? Is it just there was high expectations after a great first season back in the Premier?

Sounds about right. We've had bigger attendances than that, I think we had over 700 at one game earlier in the year.

I've been surprised by that myself. It seems now only Cork can get good (LOI wise) attendances no matter how they are doing.

**gufcfan** · 08/10/2012, 11:23 PM

Would be pleasantly surprised if RT� show it. Probably Setanta if anybody.
