Limerick V Waterford - 369
For all the latest League of Ireland news visit www.extratime.ie
. (Also, despite their current woes, Limerick have been successful and well supported in the past).[/QUOTE]
Woes that have been going on now for close to 30 years.
If there was a real genuine well of support that surely would not have happened.
3,500 at Derry V Cork
So if you think Bohs are big read this. http://www.astronomy.ie/perpespective.html
Update after the weekend. Clubs who give official figures are in bold. 489 at Fingal v Longford a couple of weeks ago. 2143 at Cork v Rovers per the attendances thread on their forum. 800 mentioned for Dundalk v Fingal; that about right?
Think a few of the gaps have already been posted; going to go back and find them and update this shortly.
PREMIER DIVISION
Bohs - 2,298 (2007 - 1,924; 2006 - 1,463; 2005 - 1,976; 2004 - 2,340) (missing Sligo)

FD is an average crowd in the First Division; PD is an average crowd in the Premier Division. I've only put that in where the attendances was when the club was in a different one to their current division.

Apparently just 2,400 in the paperOriginally Posted by Candystripe
I reckon about 1100 to 1200 at Cobh Ramblers/Drogheda last saturday night
''and I for one welcome our new insect overlords''
Sure BBC has it at 2000
Harps 3rd highest despite being in a relegation battle. We are showing up a lot of teams.
If we are relegated it will be a big loss to the league.
New 7000 all seated all covered stadium, new state of the art off field facilities and the league's 3rd best supported side, I think its fair to say that we would be a huge loss

lets see how many attend your next home league match and use that as a more realistic figure - or else year end.
1,000 at Dundalk vs. Sporting Fingal.
Yeah, looks like Derrys figures are Walter Mitty stuff!Sure BBC has it at 2000
I think its fair to say that we would be a huge loss
It would be a big loss for harps but not for the league!
That is an AVERAGE crowd. If we were just taking the Derry match it would be 5000
Take away every club's largest gate and their averages would drop a lot too.
Our attendances have been excellent compared to other teams, even teams a lot higher.

It would be a big loss to the leagues. We are pulling up the average attendance in the league despite being near the bottom of the table.
We are just about to build the North West's center of Excellence making us the North West's primary soccer development center.

good - a feeder club for derry and rovers - send us down a few more seamus colemansIt would be a big loss to the leagues. We are pulling up the average attendance in the league despite being near the bottom of the table.

regarding crowd numbers ye have had your two home derbies. i will stake any money that ye will not be in the top 3 after 22 games - that will be a more accurate assessment .
In fairness I think Galway Utd were the third highest supported team last season but that support has fallen off this season. Wait until the novelty of the first season back in the top flight and having to endure lousy results and diabolical performances every week kicks in.Harps 3rd highest despite being in a relegation battle. We are showing up a lot of teams.

Yep....2000 season ticket holders and 1,500+ paid to get in.
Maybe those guys with Cork tops on where really from Derry and maybe even though they're were only 150 empty seats in the main stand (which has 2,400 seats) we had false heads put in to make it look good on TV.
There were no fans at all on the side where the camara's were...............just a figment of my imagination!!!!!!!!!!
So if you think Bohs are big read this. http://www.astronomy.ie/perpespective.html
It's just a pity football leagues are measured in points gained er...playing football- political correctness gone mad!New 7000 all seated all covered stadium, new state of the art off field facilities and the league's 3rd best supported side, I think its fair to say that we would be a huge loss
