1632 I thought

You had about 200.

[Ciaran W]

What was rovers average ? Must have been 4000

[Bray Head]

Good crowd in Drogheda. I'd guess around 1800.

[WindmillWarrior]

decent crowd alright. Tho more around the 2,000 mark I would have said, maybe more

[peadar1987]

It'll be interesting to see how our crowds will pan out next year if we go down.

I'd say the home crowd will stay fairly similar, there doesn't seem to be a lot of floating support. We'll be hit hard by the lack of big travelling support from teams like Shams, Bohs, and Pats though.

I'd say Shels would bring a fair few would they?

Maybe Waterford aswell ?

Jaysus for a while during the 2008 season we were getting monster crowds so we were, ie. the run of 1-0 wins if ye can remember

Usual story with most teams. People will only follow winning teams.

Which really gets on my tits

[bennocelt]

I would imagine Derry will increase the first div attendances next season

One of the guys on ur web commentary obviously the worst crowd guesser of all time...was saying there was about 800 at it!!!

Derry will be releasing the attendance figures for our "Second Stadium" you've probably seen it along side the Brandywell.
That should bring the average up

[Mr A]

Stu, we only played Wexford at home once- is that the figure you need?

Will see if I can get the Monaghan one from last weekend.

[WindmillWarrior]

Recent games missing -
Drogheda v Pat's

Around 1,000 I suppose

[WindmillWarrior]

haha, you wouldn't mind those plonkers!
Maybe it was lookin that poor at around kick off time. Drogheda crowds always seem to get in late

[pineapple stu]

I get confustered sometimes; I have it included already, so dinna worry about that one, cheers.

Can add in 259 for Limerick v Harps, 200 for Longford v Limerick and 350 for Wexford v Mervue. Have updated the post for those and Drogheda v Pat's.

[fionnsci]

Missing Pat's guesses
Sligo 1400
Derry 1200
Bohs 2000

[oriel]

Stu - I think 1,700 for Dlk V Pats - but not 100% on this.

Also there will be many Prem Div`s in Europe where the league champs end up in 5th place on the attendance lge.

Thanks again for doing the stats this year, always look forward to reading them , doesn't really seem like a year ago when I passed on thanks for 2008 !

[Mr A]

Missing Harps game is 417
