2008 attendances

[stann]

Rotten luck on the struggling club as they were hoping for a big gate at this game, and would have got it too I reckon. As it was, on one of the foulest nights for football I can remember for a while, 782 hardy souls made their way there, still a huge increase on two weeks ago when it was lovely! That's an official figure BTW.

[D.U.F.C Daire]

Pansies.

1200 I reckon at Drogheda v UCD, though will see what the Drogheda fans think.

I'm not sure how many were there, but it was a big crowd considering the opposition and the ****e we were put through on Tuesday.

[pineapple stu]

1200's a big crowd for the league champions?!

The league's got bigger problems than an AIL will solve if that's the case.

[Rovers fan]

1200's a big crowd for the league champions?!

.

Ah here,just 'cause ye get pathetic crowds,there's no need to argue about other teams attendances

[SMorgan]

Would never doubt figures given out by clubs but would never have thought that there were 1000 in Oriel last night. Thought 600 tops but then again don't have a good knowledge of Oriel.

One thing I did do was count 178 in the shed as with the referee stopping the match every 60 seconds for something or other there was plenty of time.

Free awarded were 21 Athlone, 16 Dundalk and thats not including the 5 offsides .

One thing about oriel park is that you can't estimate the crowd from the stand side of the ground because of the used areas that are out of sight. I would put the crowd at 900 to 1000

[soylent green]

1034 official attendance at Shamrock Rovers v Cobh.

[oriel]

1034 official attendance at Shamrock Rovers v Cobh.

Irish Star said 2,000 for this one ! Even at the time I thought it couldnt be right. Rubbish paper

[WindmillWarrior]

Pansies.

1200 I reckon at Drogheda v UCD, though will see what the Drogheda fans think.

Yeah, would go along with that.
Brutal crowd, though 2 home games in a week, the Bellewstown races and indeed our sh*t form certainly wouldn't have helped!

[Rovers Maniac]

I'd say about 2,300 in the showgrounds last night, looked a terrible crowd at the Pats game, hardly looked a 1,000 there although could not see the other side of the ground. Still poor for a club that are going for the league.

[deecay]

I would have said 2000 max

[Rovers Maniac]

Easily more than that, i thought i was being a little conservative with my Estimation. I seen the game from 3 of the sides of the pitch and thought there was deffo a good gate, they were asking people to move down to the bottom of the main stand as top section were full. One thing for sure though fair play to Derry excellent travelling numbers.

[Rovers fan]

About 2000 imo

[sligofan4ever]

about 2300 max

[monutdfc]

3 hundred and something announced as the attendance Sporting Fingal v Monaghan United on Friday night

[Sam_Heggy]

About 1700 in Richomnd yesterday, 50 Harps fans.

[Rovers Maniac]

I think you are way off Sam Pats v Harps crowd was 1089 according to a friend of mine who is Pats fan, very poor.

[Sam_Heggy]

I think you are way off Sam Pats v Harps crowd was 1089 according to a friend of mine who is Pats fan, very poor.

There was more than that, then again, a weekend on the tear can mess up the eye sight, maybe it wasn't such a hammering after all and we won?

[Rory H]

1600+300 away fans in the Showgrounds. Biggest crowd of the weekend?

[pineapple stu]

Update after last weekend. Clubs who give official figures are in bold. I've not put in the 1089 figure for Pat's v Harps unless a Pat's fan wants to agree with it (seems most people at the match reckon it was more) or the club update their website with more official numbers.

Stu........any chance we could do an away fans att at every game. Would be easy enough to do.

I'm curious to see what most clubs average as we get very little away fans.
