Aye, he lives across the pond so he does.
Yes. This is a signature.
I read in the paper it was 2,368 which sounds like either an official attendence or completely made up. Still a decent crowd considering the match that was on. Was there a reason why the game was not played the day before like the other LoI games? Clashing with that match was not a good idea!
Bohs played Linfield on Saturday so it was moved
Here on a technicality.
probably because we had a game on Saturday though im not sure...
Going by reports and the fact that the Jodi holds 2750 id imagine there was around 2600 at the game.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
The more I think about it, the more I think my 2,600 estimation was a bit on the high side. 2,368 is very believable.

I wonder!!!
Members and ST holders don't even enter through a turnstile anymore and aren't recorded.
are you sure about that, i would have thought everyone had to be accounted for, for safety etc..... could be wrong tho
It doesn't necessarly mean bigger crowds but what it does is equal things out every club would have exactly the same salary and the same size squad. Just so you know I would set the wage at 300 euro per week. If everything is equal every team in the league would have the same chance to win and there would be much more competition. Also with a much lower salary budget less clubs will fold as in recent years. This would save football in ireland and create a more competitive league and yes I believe if it's more competitive the crowds will come back.
Clear breach of licensing there.

Yea apparently (NOT official from the club) Linfield did not want to play the SETANTA Cup game on Good Friday so we kicked off at 12.30 (determined by Gardai) on Sat thus clashing with big EPL game and our Monday match (V St Pats) was deferred to Tuesday night (clashing with CL game). Decent crowds at both games but cant help feeling oppurtunities missed to corral in a few "floating" fans.
There's absolutely no way Setanta Sports would've wanted the game on Friday (and therefore clashing with its live coverage of Munster/Leinster). Not for viewers, but rather for their own resources etc. I think it was always due to be played in the Saturday and the garda enforced the early kick off

Sorry, thats wrong. Members enter through the officials door but membership numbers are taken and recorded (and have been at every match since this new arrangement was introduced). Dont know RE season tickets but defo what happens with members (cant see why it would be any different just dont know for sure). As pointed out this is a licencing requirement and the only alternative would be to issue a ticket to each person entering (as happened in previous seasons).
I'm not getting into a big discussion on here, but membership numbers are not recorded. Go in sometime when it's busy and you'll see. I've been waved through 3 times since the Fingal gate disaster.
If you don't want to believe me then fair enough, hardly something I'd make up, as I don't really like posting over here.
Don't know why they don't use the scanner!
fair enough BF not doubting your word I was only speaking from personal experience as well. guy on the door with clip board has checked my membership no and ticked it off on his list (maybe I just look suspicious)
Not sure if they mark membership number but he definitely ticks the clipboard everytime someone shows a card.
663 official crowd in Finn Park tonight against Wexford Youths.
Bloomin delighted with that considering we lost our last 2 games.
Leinster match on telly at same time as Bohs & Rovers had to effect attendance tonight at the game in Tallaght. (flippin LUAS was runnin to Tallaght either), had to be a fix.
I don't think we'll be too upset with the crowd despite that Leinster game being on at the same time.
