The book that I bought my ticket from was about three-quarters full when I bought mine (I'd guess 40 or so left in it ?), but I've no idea if there were any other books left.

I'd therefore guess about 3,000 as well, as there weren't many empty seats around.

Very impressed with the stadium - will be great when the second stand goes in. Plus the shop is very professional.

I thought dcsteve it was hard for a neutral to watch a game in tallaght??

It was certainly hard to watch for a neutral in terms of the standard.....

They'll take anyone's money if there's tickets still available, and there were on Saturday.

**Candystripe** · 02/06/2009, 10:30 PM

Derry v St Pats 2,550

**Rovers Maniac** · 02/06/2009, 11:08 PM

No idea what was in Bray but very small maybe 700, which is a shame as they are a decent little side and deserve better.

**Rory H** · 02/06/2009, 11:27 PM

would say less, 500

**MMVIII** · 03/06/2009, 12:16 AM

Terrible crowd in Bray tonight. No more than about 600 with at least 50-75 of them being Rovers fans.

**superfrank** · 03/06/2009, 1:56 AM

I would say about 500 at most at Bray match tonight. It's well down on recent games.

**passinginterest** · 03/06/2009, 8:37 AM

Similar crowd at the Rovers - Dundalk game as there was at the Drogs game, probably more as the singing section was more crowded. I'd say 3,100.

**eamo1** · 03/06/2009, 10:59 AM

How many was at Dalymount last night for Bohs vs Galway Utd?Any guesses at least?

**gufct** · 03/06/2009, 11:39 AM

Next Friday nights game in Terryland could have our smallest crowd ever for a LOI game. The Stunning are playing in the Docks closing down the VOR .Absolute madness that we are even trying to compete with it and we dont have another home game for nearly a month

**eamo1** · 03/06/2009, 12:59 PM

Its possible to go to both.Im going to Terryland then going in around the docks after.Going to see Aslan tomorrow night in there aswell.
I cant figure out how we were getting crowds of nearly 2000 in the first division when we were playing hoof ball and now we are fifth in the premier and playing decent stuff and not getting past the 1000 mark.

**Ronnie** · 03/06/2009, 1:42 PM

Eamo, fifth in the table does not count in terms of run of the mill punters - your not challenging the top, and not in a scrap at the bottom. Longford Town spent 8 seasons in the top flight, finishing 4th 5th and 6th under Matthews, and winning cups, playing setanta cup and Europe (badly!), and the crowds melted away. Only in Irish soccer can success one season automatically mean that gates the following season will fall!
