Dundalk is more than 10mins away and they brought a decent support

It'll be no coincidence when the figure dips dramatically when a full fixture list is played on a friday with Fingal at home.

In saying that though, it's still good to see a big attendance

There was a few sligo fans there as well

It doesnt matter who they support, just that they came to watch us play.

You can't compare a trip from Dundalk to Fingal with Sligo to Fingal. Teams around the Dublin area(which is now everyone bar us and Galway) should bring way more to the games in Dublin area than they do.

Or us? Come back in 2 weeks time, if they've come to watch you play again then fair enough.

Super attendance at Turner's Cross last night.

Considering it was Corks 1st home game. Is there any chance that they'll
show it on M.N.S ?

Did'nt see any television cameras there so i doubt it .

I wasnt comparing anything just saying that Dundalk is more than 10 mins from Dublin in an answer to a post and that they brought a decent support thats all. Im not questioning the support Sligo had on friday night

Or us? of course you as well cos you were playing us wernt you. A few St Pats fans have been in with our support a few times the last i know about was the shelbourne game at tolka. Point being that all are welcome and they count towards our attendance figures Fingal fans or not.

Athlone Town vs Mervue United Official attendance 402

**Youths4Ever** · 14/03/2010, 4:37 PM

approx 380 in ferrycarrig park for Wexford v Shelbourne

**oriel** · 14/03/2010, 11:51 PM

Approx 2,800 at Dlk v Drogs, lower than expected away supoport (200), and the change from Fri a big factor overall.

Same with us; there's turnstiles for freebies/season ticket holders and for paying fans, and a counter for both sets of turnstiles in the ticket office. I think this stuff about "season ticket holders aren't included" is nonsense alright (with the exception of Waterford, whose system is just nonsense).

2545 at Dundalk Vs Drogs yesterday.

**oriel** · 15/03/2010, 12:03 PM

That is now an official attendance for Dlk v Drogs (2,545)

Try using stacked, either line or bar, graphs much easier on the eye

**Battery Rover** · 15/03/2010, 1:26 PM

Are there many Cork fans expected to travel up to Athlone next Saturday night?

**kevincronin2000** · 15/03/2010, 1:46 PM

afaik about 200, 2 buses and those that go by car

Why was the change from Friday a big factor in the attendance at a local derby?

**oriel** · 15/03/2010, 3:14 PM

I think Sunday is just not a suitable day anymore, people have too many things on. Friday would have been much better, people are used to this now. Lowest turn out from Drogs for years, they only had 200 or so, we were expecting a lot more than that.

That's being kind. I reckon it was 150 we brought.

Looked less than that on the telly, 80-100 maybe. Very poor indeed, the mammies of drogheda certainly rule the roost.

Exactly, if that was the case the Nou Camp would have an official attendance of about 'zero' every time.

I make you right. but also, a large proportion of our support has all but disappeared over the last couple of seasons. Its depressing
