Yeah would have said about 300 - 350 with around 60 - 70 Harps fans.
About 350 at Town v Harps, with a sizable Harps contingent.

How can Sligo give an official attendance figure when they have no procedures for counting the number of away fans? Last night some Hoops fans got a raffle ticket on entry, others just paid cash to your man in the shed and went in without getting any tickets and about 100 were let in free on Garda instructions as Sligo at that time only had 1 man in a shed taking money from away fans and the queue was huge. Once again I'll ask how can Sligo give an official attendance figure when they don't know exactly how many away fans were in the ground?
Nope, just a wooden fence around the pitch, spectators standing on grass.
The segregation was a steward ordering all away fans down one side of the pitch.

We're not arrogant, we're just better.
As some Derry supporters didn't either.
I changed those figures to the official figure released which was 2,779.
For safety reasons cash was taken at the turnstiles to avoid the congestion after the game had kicked off.It maybe should have been delayed for ten mins.
Still was a great problem to have.
So if you think Bohs are big read this. http://www.astronomy.ie/perpespective.html

Scrap the Drogheda attendance. That is a ridiculous figure.
