Yeah I would say that was our attendance. Through such a tough season, its great to see we still manage to get arguably some of the best crowds for LOI games. Take away Galway supporters and we'd still have about 2,150 attendance!

Athlone Town vs Finn Harps

Official attendance 288

Extratime has it at 1800.

Sigh.

Can we drop the aggro please? Nonsense moved to rubbish.

About 200 at UCD v Wexford. What Leinster took away from the Kildare attendance, the Youths brought back.

The "attendances" given in the pressbox at The Showgrounds are never correct.

Why do some clubs not include season ticket holders in their attendance figures ?

**Rovers Maniac** · 12/10/2009, 9:31 AM

deffo more than 1,800 at our match, as that would mean that everybody in the ground would have fitted in the Tracey Avenue Stand which clearly could not have happened.

Because they're guessed,and afaik our counter at the gates is still faulty. I was told in the PB at our cup game V Bohs that the attendance was 1004, when we clearly had at least 1500.

In our case I think it's just a practicality. Season ticket holders are allowed park inside the ground, so any in cars flash their tickets at the gate and drive in, bypassing the turnstiles.
So because they can't count all people going in, they actually don't count any, and the attendance figure announced is just that generated by a tally of tickets sold on the night.
That 'paid in' figure is the more important one for the club anyway.
