Athlone v Harps announced at 507 (i think) would have knocked a hundred off that myself.
dont think it was announced (as there was music playing all the way through the match over the tannoy) but we counted 256
I counted 80 people in the Corribside (new) stand, there were around 15 in the O'Connells Stand. Didn't count the clubhouse area, as I didn't want people there to think that I was staring at them ! Would have estimated max 30 people in that area - total of 125 - bump it up to 150 max.
Unless you are including players, management, match officials, and stewards I don't know how you came up with 256 !

Fair enough ! Was my first ever "count the crowd" attempt in 18 years of LOI football.
2,500 at Rovers-Bohs last night. Its a guess though.
1,550 Red stand. 350 behind the goals. 600 in Jinks stand.
Great Crowd from Bohs down, having games on a saterday night really brings out big away support which is good to see. Plus Rovers had a package deal with a local hotel for Bohs fans who wanted to go to the game and stay the weekend in Sligo. Seemed to work great.
extratime.ie has an estimate of 1,900.
Well over 2,000 in the Showgrounds. 1700 new stand, 300 in Jinks stand and 300 or 400 behind both of the goals.
Would have said 2,500 in the showgrounds, Very decent crowd, lovely evening for it. By the way its Sligo Brewer from here who covers the game for extratime.ie.
295 according to extratime
