2011 attendances

**Longfordian** · 11/03/2011, 10:24 PM

Just as regards our game v Shels last week, I estimated 700 but I'm told the official figure (or as official as it gets) was 880 with over 200 Shels.

468 at Limerick versus Salthill (I think that was the number announced).

That's very decent on a horrible night. Was going to dander in myself but wasn't going to stand in the sleet for it.

was at least 80 cork on the sullivan park side, and from the road you couldnt possibly see the only place people could take cover in which was in front of the clubhouse.

infact from the road its nigh all most impossible to see anything other than the lights
The man that does the gate is probably the most honourable man in football in Galway. To me it looked bang on. There was approx 200 on home side against the fence and another 100 or so in front of the clubhouse although its a strange place to stand cause you can only see one goal. It was a terrible night weatherwise. Again Gaffney put pressure on Cork when he came on, Hanley saved them with a fine reaction save in the first half and Conneely the cb was excellent at least the UTD scouts up there thought so

About 400 at Youths - Longford

**El-Pietro** · 12/03/2011, 11:29 AM

didnt look more than 150 to me from the away side but when they scored it sounded about right

Im at a loss as to how Mervue and Salthill are allowed licenses to play in these fields. What the hell did Cobh do to not be allowed in.

Maybe there is still a few threads left where you could post this again?

**El-Pietro** · 12/03/2011, 12:32 PM

i can think of one or two more that it would fit into alright

**ger121** · 12/03/2011, 4:03 PM

Someone posted on our forum an attendance of 1911 for the game last night. Thought it was higher than that myself but there you go..

**PartySaint** · 12/03/2011, 7:45 PM

Id say about 1,800 at Richmond last night

**Invincible** · 12/03/2011, 10:41 PM

Star said about 1100 IIRC at Bohs-Drogs. I'd say it was more like that figure than the one your giving.

The Jodi holds just under 2800. It was a lot more than 40% full. Sections F&G were also packed due to people standing. There was also about 60 Drogs in the Des Kelly. Based on what I saw myself, the figure in the Star is incorrect.

Biggest crowd in the showgrounds for a LONG time! Bigger than the league cup final last year. I'd say around 4,500 - 5,000 myself.

**Rasputin** · 13/03/2011, 8:42 AM

I heard the attendance was about 4200.

**legendz** · 13/03/2011, 10:48 AM

It's rare that attendances at domestic soccer matches surpass top-flight hurling or Gaelic football league fixtures, but that's what happened last weekend.

**monkey9** · 13/03/2011, 11:38 AM

So there were about 4000 Sligo fans there?? Great attendence!

**poster** · 13/03/2011, 12:25 PM

There was actually 2,000 Shams fans. The actual attendance was 6,200 but we're keeping the extra 20k or so for Joey and the players that didn't turn up pre-season because we couldn't pay their 'extra' wages during pre-season.

Honest.
