Name says nothing about til the end of every match?
Right lads the story is, and this is from the club, that we've budgeted for crowds of around 500 for this season. Towards the end of last season we were actually getting crowds in the low hundreds - a fact I had no problem with reporting here at the time. But the lowest crowd we've had so this season was for UCD - that was a crowd of 666, plus a couple of hundred under 14s who get in free. No crowd as been smaller than that so far. Thats a fact, and it has pleasantly surprised everyone! for the Rovers game they had a support there of around 900, maybe more - so you could even make that game a 50-50 split.
There's no way there were 900 there on Friday.
I was in the terrace and at the very max there were 30 there - in the far stand there was at the very max 500. I couldn't see the small stand but that surely can't site more than 250. So that's 780 which is really pushing the limits - unless there were 120 in the bar and that's why we couldn't go in I can't see where you're getting 900 from!
BTW although low on content I thought the programme looked excellent - really good quality printing and very reasonably priced at €2 - similarly €10 to get in to the terrace was good value.
I phoned the speaking clock to hear a voice speak, it said - "At the tone you will be very much alone"
There were a few heads in the bar alright, and a few who stand down in front of the clubhouse.
But maybe you're right with the 500 figure in the home terrace. It can be hard to tell when you're in it, and I am just estimating from using that original opening day figure for the UCD game.
Also remember though that there is still a terraced area at the back (behind the seats) for standing, and a lot of people do still stand up there. Also the small seated stand holds 350/400 (tho that was half full at best on friday night)

Any attendance for the Setanta cup last night. Rovers v Rovers. Would have imagined a 4000 sell out though it was Monday.

Nowhere near that, probably about 2200 with around 250 Shams fans.
Only 250 ? despite the very direct bus/plane/train/ 12 mile swim that takes you from tallaght to Sligo in only 14 minutes ?

A bad night for it but thats poor in fairness.

Monday night in the Setanta cup? Its not great but far from poor considering there is no interest in this competition.
We have 10 games in a month, not doubt Shams do too. Following a team especially if you have a couple of kids in very expensive. First leg on a Monday night in the Setanta 2200 isint a bad crowd.
Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!
Almond.
I was expecting 1,500 maximum. If attendance was 2,200 then that's great.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Didn't think it was too bad for a Setanta cup game, second home game in 48 hours too
Were you being serious?! 2200 was a great crowd for a monday night in a competition with very little interest.
It's bizarre. Everyone (Blues and Cork fans) that was there reckoned there were way more than 1000. I would have agreed with your estimate. 752 is the official figure. Read into that what you want.
Something isn't right there :S
Can we get back on topic here?
The official attendance for tomorrow's game between Galway United and Derry City at Terryland Park will be 1,412. It would have been more if we had taken our chances agains Drogheda last weekend.
Fair play to the 200 city fans who will make the long journey on such a miserable night. And damn those Connacht Rugby people for having a game on the same night.
Nobody knows us, we don't care
Thanks for that...
We took enough chances, we were just robbed.
I agree that there was more than 752 but the RSC is always very hard to get an attendance for. Sitting in the old stand it always looks very full, but when you look at it from the front, its looks empty with nobody in block A/b or any of the front 10 rows in all blocks. I would have said 900ish, but no-where near the people saying 1200/1300.
And in the clubs defence, if thats what the clockers are saying then they have no reason not to believe it!
I’m not pedantic...I’m merely overly concerned with minute details.
