Quoteat a guess there was 800 at our game 80 travelled up from bray.. it was easily our biggest gate of the season and the biggest in section o too..
Bout 170 at UCD-Monaghan.
(BTW, next Mervue comment gets a split thread. That's not to discourage it, obviously; just to keep it separate)

Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
What's the reason for that ? I'd say for a good few LOI clubs it would probably be the other way around.Originally Posted by Dunny
I would say Friday night football suits Harps better too, attendance wise. It is always a topic of debate though.

1,100 or 1,200 at the last Sligo Rovers versus Galway match in Terryland. Around 1,700-1,800 at both the Dundalk games in the Showgrounds.
My guess for Mons-Shels would be around 300-350. Im not great at guessing crowds though.
240 at the limerick athlone game
You were close Red Bellied-1092 was the offical figure at the Galway Sligo game.
just said on mns that the sporting v rovers game was the largest attendance this season
did they mean for sporting fingal or total
anyone know the crowd number in santry from it
life is random
For Sporting
I'm fairly sure you could've guessed the answer to that correctly...
I think more 900-1000 at the town game the crowd spread out a lot but definitly biggest of the season by hundreds
The Jodi was over 3/4 full for Bohs-Bray 2, say 2400, maybe. Not ideal, but better than nothing! I'd say there were less than 1500 people left after a bunch of the Bohs fans walked out half way through the second half
You really should tell the posters on the Boh's forum the good news. There's a thread running there at the moment where the consensus is that crowds are well down on recent seasons and "we now have a support of about 1200 fans".
I think this is the first year Bohs' figures haven't been official. Would be interesting to see if that's what's driving the numbers up.
Taking away season ticket holders and children 1200 would be an optimistic figure.
900 fans walked out? Didn`t notice that!
Why would you take away season ticket holders from estimating core support?
1200 is a very pessimistic figure. Theres a lot of criticism( some of which is justified) among a section of Bohs fans that certain newly elected Officer/s has./have not pulled out the stops in promoting games so there may be an under estimation of crowds in some quarters to prove a point.
No more than any other club, Bohs have to work hard at maintaining crowds beyond the "hard core", never mind increasing them, despite the successes on the field.
A huge number left half-way though the second half, perhaps in protest at the ref (He made a few controversial decisions, some I agree with, some I don't, but now's not the place to discuss them!). They were mainly from down near block A, where we were, though, it looked like the people down the western end of the stand were staying to the end.
There was almost nobody in block B come the end, despite it being nearly full at kick-off.
I wasn't judging, just passing on the information. When my club struggles to break 1000 people for big home games, I can't really give out about other clubs' attendances!
