They are indeed.

Not a patch on our record though.

453 quoted in the Sligo Champion for the Drogheda fixture and it has two thirds of them from the north west.

I send the figures from here on (or I did till a couple of years ago; someone else does now). Other sites - like soccerway - also dip into this thread I know.

A great start !

Even better if one could relegate UCD!!!

Scully always plays football that way but gets results. People have to decide is it the winning of games or pretty football they want.

**gufc2000** · 21/05/2011, 2:59 PM

A few from extratime:

Wexford/Cork- 170 (estimate)
Shels/Longford- 884
UCD/Dundalk- 500 (estimate)
Derry/Bray- 1900 (estimate)
Shamrock Rovers/Drogheda- 2500 (estimate)

About 3300 at Tallaght I'd say.

I don't know what is up with ExtraTime and their attendances and whatever strop they're throwing, but there is not a hope everyone put together would've fitted into less than the East Stand which holds 2750.

Not gonna argue with the 453 figure, but no way was two thirds of that from Sligo. More like 150 Sligo fans I'd have said

I find extratime give their estimates just as the game is kicking off. If not before that. A lot of people are obviously gonna still be coming in at that stage

**gufcfan** · 21/05/2011, 5:22 PM

604 official in Mervue. Overstated by more than 200 by the account of a few people that were there.

Ya this run of 7 unbeaten (6 wins) and conceeding one goal in 7 games is awful ****e lets start conceeding loads so that crowds will go up watching exciting games.

It's working for us (kind of, we're conceeding goals but it's far from exciting).

So why would the Times give an exact crowd of 2,526 then ? I have to say I find they are spot on ths season.

**Dillonman** · 21/05/2011, 6:51 PM

The Star gave a figure of 332 at the UCD Dundalk game. Mate of mine said about 220 Dundalk fans!

Since you quoted me from week 1, I`ll go back on this. UCD may not be everyone's cup of tea but they are in the PD on merit. If Cork get promoted this season this will obviously add to the better crowds at PD games, but UCD wont be going down this season thats for sure, also I dont think they have actually spent two consecutive years in the FD? Doesnt seem to suit them !
