At least this way ther'll be enough toilets to cope with the 'crowds'

And there was around 150 at the Galway & DL First Division Cup Final last night. That's not even the top junior division. Plus, it was on a Wednesday. Had it been on the weekend, there would have been a fair few more. AND it was a fiver in, so they would have collected more on the gate than Salthill Devon. If Devon aren't paying any rent, which would hardly be a surprise, the Galway FA need to support local football somehow.

Looking at Mons, I'm not even sure that works. I'll be interested to see how many turn up at your place for the Limerick game in a few weeks (provided its still first vs second).

I don't know - there's at least a lapsed support to potentially come back. It was an encouraging start attendance wise, but it hasn't really kicked on. And to be honest I wouldn't be expecting a massive improvement until the final series to be honest - the summer months are the worst for attendances for us (well for the league in general, but rural clubs in particular). For all clubs in the first, the amount of travelling support can make a significant difference when your in and around the 300's. From what I could see there was 6 Wexford fans (although they didn't score so I could be doing a disservice), so that attendance was nearly all Longford. We won't be bringing too many to Waterford.

Will be of some consolation to fans visiting The Showgrounds if Sligo ever come down!

We're playing Millwall july the 18th apparently, that'll probably be our biggest gate of the season if we don't have a home tie in the FAI cup

And they still outlasted your club...

Your bitter posts about their crowds are getting tiresome.

I don't look in this thread for the crowds at galway junior league division two crowds, thats for certain...

**Sean South** · 11/05/2012, 3:26 PM

Mods should make this thread a sticky, given all the Crusties jizzing themselves at Galways attendance

**Acornvilla** · 11/05/2012, 8:04 PM

430 at the waterford - town game according to extratime

And you tend to pick at anything that is said about the situation in Galway. Outlasted? We'll see if they last 35 years in senior soccer. He was just making a point that even junior games in Galway are attracting more people than Salthill Devon.

**Guitd** · 11/05/2012, 8:26 PM

limerick 5-2 up
attendance 65

**NeverFeltBetter** · 11/05/2012, 8:29 PM

Jeez. Between the teams, subs, managment/coaches, officials, photographers, stewards, St Johns, those there tonight for work nearly outnumber the crowd!
