Bray v Drogs - 500
Bohs v Pats - 1,520 (Official)

I hope GUST crash and burn just because of their pain in the ***** fans. Imagine having to listen to this ****e when they come round.
Sporting F*ck All!
Salthill and Mervue are a disgrace. Imagine going about your business in a decent manner, not annoying any other of the clubs and not running up massive debts. That not the League of Ireland way.
There were times when those kind of numbers were squeezed into the Showgies - I remember as a kid watching large chunks of the '83 Cup semi-final replays against Cobh with my feet not touching the ground - but not allowed these days.
"Even if the wind stops to blow
Even if the sea ceases to flow
Even if the sun ceases to rise
The name of Sligo Rovers will shine and shine forever like the morning star glittering in the sky."
The lower then average Limerick number comes from the dodgy weather earlier in the day, the bad performance last week and the lure of Rugby Union.

I am lucky to be old enough to remember packed houses in most grounds alas the lure of the bar stool football is greater now. My late uncle travelled from Athlone to Sligo every second week to watch them. He was lifelong friends with the great Sean Fallon
Extratime estimate 400 in Finn Park tonight. I'd say it's not far off alright. 450-500 was what I was thinking.

Next home game for Dundalk is v Shels.Stick me neck out and say 5/600 will be the attendance,you dont need to be a genius to see the way things are going.
Think Dundalk would be good enough for one of Limerick/Longford/Waterford?
Author of Never Felt Better (History, Film Reviews).
Yes, all three are awful, of the three, I'd say Waterford would be the most likely to play above themselves and win, Longford and Limerick are fairly cat under pressure. It'll be one of ourselves and Waterford anyhow.
Then again if they had to play Limerick, and Limerick didn't choke, theres only one winner.

No way will i tempt fate,A poor Mccaffary lead side beat Longford in the EA cup earlier in the season.Take your mark from that.Waterford were thrashed at home by Mervue U in the FAI cup.Dundalk cant win in OP.Form lines are stupid.
People are underestimating the First Division sides and overestimating the Premier. Far as I can see from this season, both divisions are as poor as the other.
I'd fancy Harps to beat Dundalk at the minute, never mind Limerick/Waterford/Longford.
We all know the squad Limerick have, and at any given time they can raise their game and beat half the Premier Division sides.
Longford have a few players capable of turning it on at any time, they haven't exactly a full squad capable, but I think they'd give Longford a good game for it.
Waterford rely far too heavily on young Maguire for goals as far as I see. Too much of a burden for a fella his age and I think Dundalk would beat them. Saying that however, they are capable of an upset.
From what I've seen of Dundalk this year, granted it's not a huge amount, I don't think they're overly capable of any sort of result. The only thing that is to an advantage to them really is their pitch at the minute which the First division sides wouldn't be used to at all. Bar maybe Limerick who train on one (I think?)

371 in Finn Park last night against Athlone.
For someone that never seen it yon pitch in Dundalk has you Fcuked over a barrell.It's a great advantage to Dundalk.Away sides are at a huge disadvange
Radio DBSC counted just 58. I dont know where or how they conjured up that figure.
