I recall 29 being at a Mons game a few seasons ago. Have seen smaller crowds in Abbeycarton and Bishopstown as well

I would say that 65 will be beaten as well this season.

The smallest attendance for a league game in Bishopstown was a final league game against an already relegated Monaghan Utd, Douglas got a Hat trick for mons that day the last player to score a hat trick v City afaik, attendace 300.

attendance at terryland tonight mervue v waterford 65 inc about 25 from waterford

65. With all due respect to Mervue, that's very poor. How is it financially viably for clubs like Mervue to survive
in the Airtricity League with attendances being so low.

I don't think it is; they apparently lost E100k last year and were considering pulling out. Only a rumour, but it's a persistent one.

Irish Times had 1470 for Pat's v Fingal (very much at odds with here), 3500 for Rovers v UCD (thought a bit under 3000 myself) and 920 for Drogheda v Sligo.

Every club in the 1st division will be delighted seeing us coming as we'll generate their biggest gate possibly of the season .

Just to prove the folly of using guesses, the Star had 2,600

**Darkglasses** · 04/04/2010, 11:34 PM

About 150 at Youths vs. Salthill Devon, I didn't see anyone at all from Salthill.

I believe the record is 16

Akratitos 0-3 Egaleo

**SMorgan** · 05/04/2010, 10:02 PM

extratime.ie put the Drogheda - Bray attendance at about 300.

I hope for Drogheda's sake they got this wrong by a factor of 3.

you had a fantastic support the other day and all very well behaved, however i think your numbers were greatly swelled by it being a semi holiday, the attraction of pubs being opened, a massive rugby game and one of the shortest distance to travel for an away game for you for the first time in years.

This is incorrect

We counted the people in main stand at 56 at one point, and at the same time there were 29 in the opposite stand. There were also 14 at least around the edges of the pitch standing, and 6 behind the goal by the entrance to the dressing rooms

wtf ? crowds are crap but 300 ? The away terrace had the usual amount plus the stand was half full and there was a good crowd watching from the club house . Roughly the same crowd as fri . Less away fans than fri but more drogs .
