Yeah that would be about right, 30 or so Harps fans there.
Shels season ticket holders go thru a designated working turnstile which counts the total number of people.
As a cross-check the season ticket number is also ticked-off on a simple printed list, with in the case of family season tickets the number of family members attending that night marked off.
Separately in relation to family tickets - do Sporting Franchise count an arbitrary figure of 4, when calculating their attendances, for every one they sell?

A transient, horrible, fantastic dream,
Wherein is nothing yet all things do seem:
From which we're wakened by a friendly nudge
Of our bedfellow Death, and cry: "O fudge!"

From a text message which I got earlier although when I charged my phone only then did I see the message.
Seemed to be more kids than normal at the game in the uncovered side.Non paying side for them if accompanied by an adult.
So if you think Bohs are big read this. http://www.astronomy.ie/perpespective.html
I'd say 800-1000 in the RSC last night. About 300 Shels fans included in that I would say too.
Official Dundalk V Drogheda attendance was 3,883.

Termonbarry Athletic TID!
Where did you get that from?
From his scanner. Do you need to ask?!?!
I phoned the speaking clock to hear a voice speak, it said - "At the tone you will be very much alone"
Em they are not official figures that is just the reporters guess at the attendance.
Last night attendance they counted the number of season ticket holders at the game. I'm not sure how they did it though.

What a crock of sh!t. You can either deal with a big crowd or you can't. Imagine the uproar if we charged more for games against Bohs or rovers than we did against Sligo and Galway. It was a sneaky act by Kildare to make more money and they even had the cheek to sell us tickets with €10 printed on them for €15. There was 1000 Dundalk fans there so even at €10 a head Kildare would have taken in 10k so don't try and tell me that that wouldn't cover the cost of whatever security was needed with a small fortune left over to go into the coffers.
Well in that case the Bohs figure seems too high as it was only around a couple of hundred more than the Drogs match. I'd say 4100 would be a more accurate figure.
A few years ago i ran a food franchise in ucd and i offered free lunch to loi fans wearing their colours or producing a ucd ticket stub from the previos ucd home game,in a one month period i gave away six free lunches 3 pats fans and 3 of my beloved hoops brothers.its a graveyard always will be.
If we could get crowds like that every week, we might have a viable league
A patriot is someone who knows how to hate his country properly.
I'd be sceptical of us holding up those kinds of figures. Our first two games were special; the first being our return to the premium/against the champions, and the second being the first proper (non-friendly) louth derby in yonks. Still, I share CelticTiger's sneaking optomism that this could be a good year for attendances. Recessions, ill winds etc....
Official attendance at Terryland was 170 as per extratime
Traditionally we have had some of the bigger crowds but I am not optimistic for the immediate future at the cross.
Not having a go at Bohs but not sure about the future of the league is so rosy when League Champions only get 2500 home fans for their biggest game of the season.
Why are you taking over pineapple stu's job?
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Around 1600(or 1700) in the showgrounds I'd say. Poor enough.
Yeah 3,883 is def official for Drogs game.
Would also agree 4,500 too high for Bohs, I`d revise this down to 4,200 now.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), only Irish club to win a game / points in Europa League Group Stage (2016).
Of course your`re not!!!!!!. Bohs have a hard core fan base of around 2,000 with a travelling support as good as any in the league. We don`t get the fair weather fans that fleetingly successful provincial clubs attract. Not many neutral domestic football fans in Dublin unfortunately and that isn`t going to change without a significant European break through. I would be optimisic though that MNS and the improved coverage and improved football will bring in improved numbers. I would be delighted if we end up with an average of 2,500 by the end of the season for league games.
