Did anyone get an official attendance from The Blues .V. Athlone game on Friday ?

I haven't seen one.

Tallaght had a good crowd even if it was on TV, long may it continue!

About Jason Sherlock's availability in the late 90s???

Anyone know how this seasons opening weekend attendences compare to previous seasons? Would probably be easier to compare after 2 series of games bot i'd say we'll have a higher average this season with Derry replacing Fingal, now all we need is Limerick & Cork to replace UCD & Drogheda or bray

Extratime.ie always seem to give their estimate for Drogs games at, or just before, KO. A lot of fans are still only coming in at that stage. Anyway the crowd for this game was more around the 850/900 mark.

Apparently despite the live tv Shamrock Rovers had more fans last weekend than any of the 3 traditional hurling teams - Kilkenny, Tipperary and Cork who were all at home.

1254 at the Sligo Rovers Shamrock Rovers match

Some information for traveling Hoops supporters tomorrow. There will be 520 tickets for the away section (360 adults) The ticket office will open at 430pm. Gardai were on the radio this morning warning about delays and were saying the will be doing random body searches but will most likely be only on Shamrock fans. I'd say it will be a sell out nearly 2000 tickets sold already excluding season tickets now the the FAI have reduced the Showgrounds to 4000.

It was reduced for the final of the league cup its just a over the top health and safety thing

Two lads at work were at the Drogs v UCD game and they seemed surprised that the figure was even as high as 650, they thought between 500 - 600 max.

Well, they'd be wrong. 666 people paid in (nice number!) with another 200+ added to that, as under 14's are allowed in free.
Anyone I talked to on the night was pleasantly surprised by the crowd, all things considered

Do you really expect people to believe that a member of the Gardai got on the radio to tell people that it would most likely be only shamrock rovers fans that will be searched going into the ground tomorrow?
This place gets worse by the day.

I think he's saying that the Garda� say it'll be random, but in his opinion it'll probably just be away fans.

That is pathetic. I remember 6,000 there for a Cup game in the 90's before the new stand went in.
Health & Safety has gone cuckoo.

No tickets have been sold for the Rovers match tomorrow, they dont go on sale til 6.15pm when the gates open for home fans (6.30pm for away). The capacity is not restricted to 4,000.
