Could be anything from 900 to 1300.
I would have said about 250, but fair play and good travelling support. Better that the 8 Fingal fans i counted at the game before that.Originally Posted by Rasputin
Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!
Yeah your right a big difference between support there. End result was still the same though
900 would be closer to the truth. Definitely more than 650 anyway.
including the stand and the bar there was prob about 900 - 1000 .
Which side were you watching the game from? Its difficult to judge a crowd size if you are in the middle of it.
A guesstimate from looking over at the Drogs side would be roughly 600 or so in there, plus whatever the seated stand hold plus around 60 of us.
Do you have to pay in before getting into the bar?
i was on the home terrace .stand holds about 300 , and there was a good few in the bar .admittance to the bar is ticket only .
Not trying to patronise UCD fans, but can anyone tell me what their record attendance is? Always wondered.
True, but we deserved more in both games so i hope we will come good. In fairness thought, for a team who have just won the cup, about to play in Europe and are pushing for the top of the league - bringing 8 fans to an away game when you have only a couple of away games outside of Leinster all season is shameful.Yeah your right a big difference between support there. End result was still the same though

Sligo is too far away, they should be made to play their games in Dublin to make it fairer on us
We've to travel (apart from Galway, 1 1/2 hours or so) at least 2 hours to all our away games and we still manage to bring around 100 to away games on Friday nights. Surely Fingal could manage more than 8 to the west on a Saturday night??
Athlone Town vs Limerick Official attendance 533
Depends (typical Irish answer).
Absolute record, so I've heard, 80000 against the Jordanian or Chinese or Iranian national team in the late 70s. That was an away game, obviously.
Record in Dublin was about 23000 against Liverpool in Lansdowne Road in 1995, a game held to mark our centenary and also, I think, to present Dundalk with the Premier Division trophy after the FAI didn't bother having one at Oriel on the last day of the season, when Dundalk came from third to win the league.
In home competitive games, we got 9000 v Everton in Tolka Park in the 1984 Cup Winners' Cup Final. The FAI Cup Final v Rovers probably beat that, but wasn't a home game for us obviously.
In domestic competition, you'd be looking at the 2174 v Derry City in the League Cup Final of 2005. I think the record books note 3500 against Derry CIty in the First Division in 1985, Derry's first season.
In the Bowl, I think it's about 1300; I'd have the stats at home somewhere. That may be under threat on Friday.
How much would you take on a saturday night away?

I would say about the same, maybe 40/50 more. Alot of people wouldn't be working that day so they'd take the trip to Dublin/East/Galway. Depends on the importance of the game too.
ie. IF we had Pat's away on a Saturday night and we were going for Europe we could bring 300+.

We always get more travelling on a Saturday, cause on Fridays a lot of people have to finish work early. Having 170 at Galway away last Tuesday nite is decent tho I think.
Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!
Stu i have a few question for you, I am planning on heading to the UCD match on Friday, Is there any chance this will sell out before Friday??
And
Regards this thread, If the club dont give an official attendance what you prefer to use as a rough estimate, do you just take peoples word or do you prefer one paper to another because there seems to be some papers that get the numbers well wrong
Here on a technicality.
I'm not aware of any ticket arrangements yet so I'd expect it to be tickets at the gate. Unless Rovers bring well over 2,000, it won't sell out. You'll be fine.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
2,000, For some reason i thought the bowl only held 1,400 at most
Here on a technicality.
