QuoteI would guess that there was about 850 at the Dundalk V Bray match tonight.That figure will crash to about 400 next week as the crisis in OP intensifies.
Yeah I reckon there was 1,482 paying in (including season tickets) and then a few more from the underage teams that were there for half time. Think there was 5 underage teams down tonight. Good crowd up from Cork as well
Here on a technicality.

Plenty of valid reasons to be bitter.
Plenty happening in Galway anyway to correct the damage being caused once time is called on the madness.
220 at the Youths vs Harps game according to ForzaForth, wasn't at it myself
40-4 from Limerick.
Its sad to see Terryland with such crap crowds the place is dead.
SHocking crowd at SD galway v Limerick about 50 travelled from Lims with around 20 SD galway fans there never seen anything like it How do SD survive
Well, they aren't paying for Terryland right?

In fairness to SD Galway I did a head count at kick off (I'm like that) and twas 94, stragglers probably brought it up to around 120. Definitely more Limerick than home fans there though, the whole of one side was Limerick and there was a few scattered in the main stand and at either end. Eerie sort of a place we were making random noises in the first half just to see how far they'd travel. (we're like that
Just to pre-empt the Galway fans, we know...rubbish attendance, FAI fudge, etc...etc....
There were a few in GUFC gear at that Limerick game last night too, presumably there just to count the crowd.
PS) I was amused/appalled that the GUFC crest on the sign down behind the goal was just covered with a sticker of the SD one.
The ball is round and has many surprises.
Jesus, thats not great is it? I know our lack of traveling support wouldn't have helped but thought they'd have more than that, some very good attendances at the RSC this year I'm told.

The only good crowd we had over 500 was at the Wexford Youths game and Wexford brought probably a quarter of that crowd. Being stuck in the first division for a few years isn't good for the crowds.
Wouldn't even say there was that much, about 20 Bray fans and I'd say 650 to 700 at best. Love the way when you go in the season ticket gate now at Oriel its not even recorded, he just nods and lets you in!
Actually 326 at the Wexford/Finn Harps game last night according to the report on ExtraTime. Our average this season(discounting the Longford game as unknown attendence) is on the 384 mark. Not too bad but frustrating that people in Wexford don't come out, our county are a bunch of glory hunters.

Forza Youths!
Looked more than that there last night, I thought 550-600, ah well.
2823 in The Showgrounds
I'm not sure I get the surprise at generally appauling 1st Division attendances. It gets zero coverage on what's supposed to be the LoI show, gets little print media coverage and we were even treated to a thread on here wanting it farmed off to a separate forum. Shock horror, clubs in the 1st struggle to get floating fan interest even when they're doing ok...
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
That a great crowd for a game that was on at stupid time.
What can the showgrounds hold?Are sligo likely to have some sold out games in the showgrounds if they still are top towards end of the league?
Somewhere around 5-5.5k alright (with 7 thousand tickets sold out of course......!)
I think it was 3,650 for the European game last year with seats in behind the goals
