I would, around the 2800 mark. Having everyone packed into covered areas does throw off guesstimate. Good Rovers support, Shed packed, stand full, and quite a few strange people who chose to stand in the rain

Stand was almost full (1,300) + around 400/500 away support and up to over 1,500 int he shed, I`d go for just over 3,000, mabye 3,200

official figure should be released by dfc soon

Capacity of stand is 1200 so almost full, 1000/1100, agree with the rest

Yeah, I meant capacity in brackets, so 1,100 max in stand, 1,500 max in shed + 100 elsewhere + up to 400 away = 3,100 as my estimate but this is a top figure, wont be far off 3,000 either way.

It was hard to get a proper look as it was such a bad evening, dfc should have figs out today ?

Thx for doing week 5 Stu

**Rory H** · 08/04/2009, 4:43 PM

I believe one of the security guys at the gate was with bohs as he was just pointing them out to the usual security personnal. They had a few drinks on them too, but not enough to refuse entry.

**Dodge** · 08/04/2009, 10:34 PM

Pats v Derry was 2,0XX (forget the exact number - around the 60 mark)

Pretty good for the day that was in it (CL and torrnetial rain)

Be surprised if half come back after that performance

This is true. We felt like members of Scott's exploration team as we left the nice warm pub, with it's big screens and bigger sounds ("It's...Manchester United...versus Porto...and it's coming up...live...! <dramatic orchestral music>") and walked outside into the dusk, the wind and the rain; our red and white scarves flapping behind us like flares sent up for aid. As we passed a group of Arsenal-clad smokers huddled together in the porch I was tempted to remark, "We may be some time."

Ahahaha! Dont worry, this time you didn't die - nothing will ever come close to witnessing your football club winning...
