Any idea on a rough number of Hoop fans heading down yet? All the Rovers fans ive been talking to seem to be coming.

**Ciaran W** · 16/08/2010, 1:22 PM

Minimum 500 id say, id be hoping for around 700.

**Acornvilla** · 16/08/2010, 3:17 PM

will many be staying down for the night or going back home, tell everyone all the nightclubs in town do 2 euro drinks :P

**Ciaran W** · 16/08/2010, 3:55 PM

Id say most will just head straight back. . How long of a drive is it ?

Should be like a home game for ye so. Can't imagine we'll have more than 200-300. Still should bring in a few quid anyway.

I though there would be at least 700 Longford, would rovers in the fai cup not bring out the crowds ? Oh and 500th post

yayy !

**fitzpatrick10** · 17/08/2010, 3:32 AM

700 rovers fans:O i better get the drums down from the attic so .. :L

**Ciaran W** · 17/08/2010, 9:15 AM

There might not be that many but the lowest away crowd this season was 500 in Galway so there should be around that.
