Those missing games in the premier should bring the averge up a good bit. Its looking good at this stage (healthy increases in averages)

Rovers - Bohs I saw estimates from 4300 up to 5,500. I'd say about 4,500 myself, maybe a little more.

Richmond Road barn was 40% full, Ballybough end was pretty much 95% full, and the lego new stand was packed full. Riverside had between 1,500 to 2,000 in it.
I keep to my 5,000 to 5,500 guess...
(4,300? Whoever guessed that was havin a laugh. Too accurate...)

Rovers release official figures though; we'll find out soon enough hopefuly.

Was RTE match report I think. You probably know the ground better than I do so maybe it was over the 5,000.

**Kildare Lad** · 08/04/2008, 9:22 PM

3,000 at the pats match but that is a total guess.

**manic da hoop** · 08/04/2008, 10:31 PM

Rovers-Bohs was 4,300

I stand corrected so. But still believe there was no way there was less than 5,000 if Tolka holds 9,900... I've pics to show the ground was definately at least half full... (Please note- I would count heads the fact that I am not a UCD supporter is a major inhibiting factor)

**gufct** · 08/04/2008, 10:52 PM

165 in Terryland Tonight whoever the bright person that fixed this for the same nigt as the Champion Leagues Quarter Finals should be shot.

Far to early to say though.

Attendances in early part of a season will always track higher than the full-yera's trend, as support falls away for most teams as the drudgery kicks in.

Happens every year.

The Rovers - Bohs had 4,300 who paid at the gates. However, for this fixture, it excludes season tickets and freebees who were not counted because of the large crowd! Actual attendance was > 4,300 but is a guess! I would probably go with 4,500. I would also have guessed approx 5,000 based on the footage SRFC TV had from the game but apparently it was less.
