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

Attendance at Shelbourne v Monaghan United - 877
Yup I think that was the official attendance they said over the PA.Originally Posted by SkStu
TBF a good chunk of that was from the Shams travelling support which consistantly bring the biggest away crowds.
Im guessing there was about 600, there or abouts of Shams fans.
Aye with strict segregation in place in case of any riots.
Not to mention a groundsman standing on the edge of the box, stopping our players from using it during HT.

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?

Simples.
Whats the craic with foot.ie now, I thought shams fans were boycotting it?
Have they a stand or anything up there?
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
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.

Defitinitely close to 1500 at the Carlisle on Friday. Agree with the 400-500 Dundalk fans, no way over half the attandance.
I assumed that they'd have had to do something with it to get a licence. They had a maximum capacity of something like 500 for our cup game there a few years ago, is that still the case I wonder. It could be a problem when Shels or Derry visit.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Some City supporters were saying they did'nt get into the ground until 10 mins after kick off.
Extratime has 600 approx
Nowhere near 600 at it unfortunately.
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
Who thought that?
We had about 30 there.
I suppose, one of the biggest gates of all the LOI games over the weekend. Hopefully we'll get a decent crowd for the Waterford game on Friday also .
So to sum up Week 1:
Premier:
Bohemians v Sporting Fingal 3,200
St. Pats v Galway United 1,900
Drogheda Utd v UCD 400

Scrap the Drogheda attendance. That is a ridiculous figure.
