Pointless argument really but...so was I and there was not. '100 tops' is even mentioned on your own forum.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
I would say about 1,800 in the showgrounds last night, max 100 Galway fans, down on their visits last season. By the way that youth football club sold special tickets in their local community i believe.
Because i came into the ground myself at around 8 o clock. 15 mins after kick off, even missed our first because i forgot about the 7.45 kick off, but i had a good look at them then and honestly thought they had around 200. (And i ask myself why I have have to answer to a pointless Q)
But fair enough seems I'm not the best guestimateur on here but was just trying to help by posting it as nobody else had when i got up this morning. Jeesh
My guess would be 1200 at the Showgrounds last night and I would think that the Galway support was 80 to 100 and no more. plenty of empty seats in the main stand.
A few people have mentioned cup attendances for general interest. I'll follow that example.
UCD's Leinster Senior League team was watched by ~70 people as Arklow Town knocked us out of the 2nd round of the cup today.
You can't spell failure without FAI
Yeah, that seems fairly spot on.
BTW Fair play to Cliffoney/Grange YFC
They were very serious about this, video cameras and even a a tent(?) selling their jerseys and sandwiches.
1800 sound right, nowhere near 200 from Galway, thats how much were up here in October I think and it looked like there was only just about 100 there last night.
Coleman for Ireland
Why is there always a bitchfest from Sligo and Galway United fans about the size of crowds?
It's must be even more annoying for fans of other Clubs who post here.
Move on.
Nobody knows us, we don't care
So what your saying is: if you packed everybody in the ground into the main stand (incl people in Jinks, away fans, ppl behind goals) you would only fill the main stand 2/3rds up?
Because there are 1,854 seats in the main stand and from where i was standing it was at least 2/3rds full anyway.
Maybe this may have been the case at 7.45pm kick off (because i came in at 8 o clock along with loads of people who forgot the game started at 7.45).
A lot more than that. They brought a decent crowd considering everything thats been going on at the club. I'd say its was 2,000-2,500. The Jodi was pretty much full except for that bit at the end were no one sits for some reason.heard there was only 50/100 drogheda fans at the bohs match
about 1000 at the bray cork game. good cork crowd. crowds really starting to plummit now.... really need a big promotion push by the club. Hopefully Dave Mooney who was present there, will come up with some ideas to help them out!!!
476 was the official attendance at the Harps-Kildare game on Saturday. Not sure if it was posted, but 440 was the official attendance at the Harps-Monaghan game the previous weekend.
Just told the att in office today J but I was told Saturdays att was up 16 people so the Mons game must have been 460.
Not great when we talks about number differences in 10's and 20's when everyone else is talking about 100's.
