See my estimate of the Bray crowd on Friday for more proof!

The lads doing the radio commentary were surprised too, but 1900 was the figure given to them during the match - that's official enough for me

I thought there was about 2000 there last night so 1900 doesnt really suprise me..It was a good turnout in my opinion.

Disagree, I actually said to my mate leaving and we both agreed on 1,800 so its not far off. Decent crowd on both sides of the ground last night, also noticed a lot of recent lapsed fans at the match. Irish Times also carried all of these figures, so not sure who the source is.

450-500 at Youths - Derry

Out of interest I wonder how did this compare to UCD`s other crowds from Belfield for league games, Stu - have you any info on this, surely you must have had similar crowds for a host of other important league games down the years, especially as the location was so convenient for a lot of the Dublin sides.

People passing overhead on planes don't count.

**The Lep** · 02/10/2010, 7:58 PM

Ive thought of that one before

It would have been a record attendance if it did

The only game I remember getting a crowd close to Friday's in Belfield Park was the League Cup final against Derry which was just over 2100 I think. Drogheda brought a huge crowd for a cup quarter final (around 2005 maybe), there was about 1500 at that I think. I wasn't at the game against Rovers just after Doc O'Neill died but maybe that was similar (pineapple might confirm) and the game against Derry in their first year in the league had a big crowd I believe but I've no idea what size it would have been.
