wasnt it less than the cork city shels game. I think I heard a figure of 2700 mentioned somewhere?

That's a very poor attendance for the 'Big Dublin Derby'.

**pineapple stu** · 12/08/2011, 9:50 AM

2784 I think was the official figure.

I'll check into that Galway discrepancy shortly.

Was a poor show from Bohs fans, Rovers sold out their allocation of 850 tickets very quickly...pity they can't open a small section of the Connaught side, I'm sure we would have brought well over 1200 fans.

Far as I can see bohs shot themselves in the foot with that one if they only gave rovers 850 tickets. Could have had 4-5000 there if they opened up another bit to away fans. I know segregation and such is a factor but surely there are ways around that.

**fionnsci** · 12/08/2011, 2:03 PM

But sure they weren't even occupying the full Des Kelly stand, only about 5/8 of it. I know segregation is an issue but they seem to go OTT. Could've had at least a few hundred more. Also, they've had reduced numbers in the Connacht side even since the issues regarding the closure. Stupid for any team to turn away fans of any other team (or to refuse to travel to another team for that matter).

probably about 400 tops at the bray v galway game..

its not Bohs decision fionnsci. If the cops, who have huge control over this fixture, say we cant allow Rovers into the jodi then our hands are tied. If we cant sell out the Jodi then thats our own fault but it is a seperate issue (by the way, if you take into account the overflow in bocks F&G, id estimate that the stand was around 3/4 full).

Our original allocation to Rovers was 450, we gave them an extra 400 that they asked for.

**nigel-harps1954** · 13/08/2011, 11:40 PM

About 400 in Finn Park tonight v Limerick

**Sam_Heggy** · 14/08/2011, 7:09 PM

427 - Finn Harps v Limerick.

**Candystripe** · 15/08/2011, 2:20 PM

Derry City V St Pats 2,142

**gufc2000** · 15/08/2011, 8:37 PM

A poster on our forum reckons 150 approx for Salthill-Mervue

**nigel-harps1954** · 15/08/2011, 9:17 PM

I'm struggling to see where these attendances for Salthill and Mervue are coming from. Being down in both Mervue and Salthill this year there seems to be only away fans in Salthill and a handful of Mervue fans in Fahys Field.

I was struggling to see where 427 for the game last Friday came from but didn't comment.

The attendances thread is nonsense in large swathes, I wouldn't let it bother you!
