No, both those games had remarkably similar, and small, official attendances.

btw iirc the replay was a Thursday night wasn't it?

Yeah, for those that didn't hear at the time World War III broke out down in Waterford over the split of the gate and in the spirit of goodwill and cooperation prevalent in the league at the time, mainly engendered by Ollie Byrne, our officials decided to screw them even worse than they screwed us. John Delaney was called in to sort it out eventually. I think in the end both clubs came out not far off even.

I'd say that was the biggest I ever saw in Flancare, with Bohs league cup next up, followed by Pats game. Although the Pats game, was that the cup, or was that the game we had to get a point to get into play off, Sturat Holt thunderbolt? What about first leg v Finn Harps in play off? I'd say the first two were the only ones over the 4,000 mark.

the serious crowd at the pats game would have being the FAI cup that year...
