2009 attendances

[sfc red]

About 450 at Town-Shels, thanks mainly to a large Shels contingent.

Who were caged into a tiny corner of the ground and given one toilet between 200+ people. There wasn't even a home support to be segregated from. Disgraceful treatment of fans by LTFC

[Cosmo]

There was at least 1000 Hoops up there. 1250 away tickets sold according to a Drogheda steward and one of the biggest away crowds ever seen in United Park. An idea of what the crowd was like from our forum http://www.srfcultrasforum.com/forum...&postcount=106

Overall attendance of 2000-2300 is about right I think.

Would guess around that myself!

Fridays rovers support was the biggest away support I've ever witnessed in United Park. The steps on the away terrace are pretty big so it sometimes looks like theres more away fans than there actually is - but it looked on friday that rovers were really crammed into the away shed! Fair play!! Wouldve guessed 1000 rovers myself

[Larry 'da' Wyse]

Exaggerated i think - the Jodi was close to full, I think = 2,800, with 200 tops in the Shed ( Cork only).

Plenty room down the end of the Jodi. Would guess 2500 in total. Maybe get a better idea from MNS tonight

[pineapple stu]

I put in 2800 in total for that one because stands are never full.

[fionnsci]

3691 the attendance in Turners Cross.

[Paddyfield]

940 at Terryland for GUFC V. Drogs

Fair play to the 100+ Drogs fans travelled cross country on a Tuesday for a relegation dogfight.

[Black and White]

Id say there was close on 2200 to 2400 at oriel tonight! About 20 odd Bray fans, mostly "aul" ones!

[Mr Maroon]

Yeah, there was a very decent away crowd at it. They made plenty of noise too.

I'd tend towards that myself after seeing it on MNS alright

[ger121]

Yeah I'd agree that 2500 seems about right after watching MNS

[sheao]

3,600 at the City-Rovers match.

[SunnySweeney]

3,600 at the City-Rovers match.

including about 400 Rovers fans in the away section. They created a lot of noise - fair play to them.

who paid cash at the stiles and were given no tickets so the 3600 official attendance does not include the 400 hoops who didn't get a ticket to scan.

There looked to be far more than the 3691 announced, I would have said between 4 & 5,000, great crowd and a good game.

[SMorgan]

Yes, fair play to them, they tend to do that when they're winning. They leave the ground en-mass when they're losing.

[Black and White]

Thats oh so very true, Iv never seen the away section of Oriel empty so quick like the way they did a few weeks back. Funny too how Rovers outnumbered them in their own ground last week!

Excuse me? Cork City pulling a fast one financially? Never!

Decent crowd at Dundalk-Bray last night, 2,000 plus.

[Black and White]

I could say the same about that cow shed ye call a stand/terrace above in Utd Park. PS how does it feel to be in our shadow YET AGAIN!

Back to topic, Iv heard today that the officla figure for our crowd last night was 2379. Duno if thats right of not?!
