Each of three times Bohs played Rovers in Tallaght the tickets allocated to us by Rovers sold out. Maybe GGAJD is referring to seats that Rovers held back from the allocation for a cordon of empty seats for games against us? Or maybe it was just a deliberately disengenuous post.![]()
Derry City V Wexford 1,045
Traditionally always a low crowd on the 12th weekend + Oxegen.
So if you think Bohs are big read this. http://www.astronomy.ie/perpespective.html
Mervue vs Cork City had about 100 at it, didn't hear an official attendance called out.
Averages after round 21. Official figures in bold. Club averages in bold means more than half of their figures are official.

How many at bohs euro game last night?
"Now jump up there and stuff that son of a bitch in the basket, chief"
About 2600.
Actually, no, I forgot the other 1700 in the other stand.
It was a game against - with all due respect - rather low-profile opposition with fairly few away fans in the middle of a recession, and it got about twice what Bohs are getting for run of the mill league games. What more do you want?
There was actually a serious amount of people going around in Leage of Ireland gear, well in the blue camp anyway!
At the same time as the Bohs game there was between 7 and 8 thousand at the Limerick FC and friends v Sunderland game at Thomond Park.
Not strictly relevant I know but just thought I'd lob it in for anyone who wants a moan.![]()
