The Leinster Senior League needs a strong Bohemians
That's not much of a decent crowd if 3/4 of it was the away team.
Schumi is closer but i'll go with extratime on this one
Really poor crowd last night, I was expecting alot more.
about 500 at the RSC for Blues v Mervue. WC really not helping.
You'd have to be blind to think those 2 attendances were the same.....I actually expected it to be under 1000 with the Spain game on.
You're right though, the atmosphere was shocking.

Attendances for last weekend (i.e. the figures I've gone with) -
Premier Division
Bohs v Dundalk 1615
Bray v Rovers 2000
Drogheda v Galway - nothing yet
Fingal v UCD 511 (I'm aware of the comments that the 511, which I assume if the official figure, is too high, but I'm putting in official figures anyway as to do otherwise would just create open gates on challenging any official figures. Many people have commented that Fingal's official figures in particular look dodgy; I think it's enough to add schumi and The Lep's comments to that list for now)
Sligo v Pat's 1550
First Division
Cork v Limerick 1247
Derry v Longford 1288
Waterford v Mervue 500
Harps v Shels 497

500 Est. for Cork v Limerick - http://www.extratime.ie/fixtures/detail/12053/2/
600 Est. for Drogheda v Galway - http://www.extratime.ie/fixtures/detail/12045/2/
Pineapple, you're missing FDs in Sporting Fingal's older figures.
You can't spell failure without FAI
You can take away the suggestion that i agree that Fingal official figures are Dodgey. My comment was about extratime.ie's figure and to single out Sporting Fingal's official figures as dodgey ( Maybe not your doing ) out of order seeing that you could question the official figures of plenty of clubs in the league.

I'm assuming the extratime figure is official because it's not round, because I know how the press get their figures and because Fingal have been giving out official figures throughout the season. If you think that it's too high (as you did), then I can only assume you're casting doubt on the official figures.
Yes, you can question any figure you want, but I think it can be taken as a fact that more people have questioned Fingal's figures than any other club's.
On TheBoss' post - any other takes on Cork v Limerick (differs a lot to the official figure) or Drogheda v Galway?
By no means am i casting doubts on anyones official figures. I know a few others have but thats more down to their personal feelings towards Fingal rather than actual belief in the attendance. You cant go assuming figures are correct just because a diffrent footy web site has posted a diffrent figure. Tell you you what, stick down the 511 it sounds about right
I counted 131 at the Mervue-Derry match last night.
Id guess 1100 or so for Pat V Galway going toe to toe with a WC quarter final is madness in my opinion.
500 seems too low, 1200 seems too high IMO going by my impressions on the night on the photos I've seen since.
500 is definitely too low though.
610 at the Limerick v Waterford beach football competition last night
1,700 at Rovers V Shams.
Wasn't at the game myself, but most people are putting the Wexford - Finn Harps attendance at 150-200.
1,728 last weekend and 1,952 last night.
You need to start drinking and enjoy yourself more at football squire.
you are right it is, but wouldnt add any more on for that game. your crowds are terrible all the time.
