In fairness the Salvation army should have got the gig in my opinion.

As predicted, the Irish public has no interest in a unglamorous country team like Ipswich.

Keane or no keane, that was always going to be the case.

Admittedly not excellent but it was three times their average attendance for a preseason, mid-week freindly. I'm sure Derry would be happy with 9,000 for the same fixture!

We're virtually sold out down here, 3000 tickets, the last of which will be gone by midweek as Ipswich's untaken allocation go on general sale.

You're missing the point.

Ipswich are supposed to be instantly popular the length and breadth of Ireland because of who their new manager is. They're not.

No matter which way you look at it 1,500 is a very poor attendance for that game. Comparing it to their current attendances is meaningless. Harps get 3 times the Ipswich attendance when they play Derry City FFS.

Hopefully the Irish media will get the message and relegate Ipswich to passing mentions in the media, rather than the fawning hysteria they tried to create over Plunderland.

Roughly 1,100 in Richmond Park I'd say. 25 Galway.

**Green&whitearmy** · 10/07/2009, 10:12 PM

I'd say about 2300 in the carlisle tonight, about 1300 rovers and a 1000 bray.
A good game and with a section of the wall collapsing when rovers scored the 2nd, injuring a few fans. Not nice to see at all, the game was delayed about half hour from this, the ground is in ruins, so far the lights have failed, the P.A. system has failed and now the wall has collapsed, and im sure alot of the perimeter wall is as dangerous as well.

About 3250 in oriel tonight, maybe another 2-300!

**pineapple stu** · 10/07/2009, 10:44 PM

800 in the Bowl, maybe a 850.

As per dundalk forum it appears the official attendance was between 2,500 - 2,600 for last night (maybe 300 away fans)

I thought there was a bit more than this, but there you go.........

where has your crowd disappeared too from the first game of the season when ye attracted 5000 people?

**Dunny** · 11/07/2009, 5:01 PM

It was 4600 I believe. And anyway we were never going to keep that kind of crowd coming along to every game tbf. Still I'm happy enough with our crowds. Oriel should be packed for the visit of the filth in two weeks.

It was 3,850 v Bohs in March.

Our avg has been 2,500 since, still a good 500 + more than the current lge champs + 2,000 + more than Longford, so we`ll sleep safe tonight.

thats the average for all competitive games, league cup and FAI Cup included,

**oriel** · 12/07/2009, 11:33 AM

I think overall attendances are still very poor around the league, its a real shame as the quality is there, it would be great if the top clubs could attract on avg 5k per week instead of just for the odd game, but there`s no chance of that.

**Candystripe** · 12/07/2009, 11:52 AM

Derry V Drogheda 2,390
