I've just been blocked from posting on Mervue Uniteds facebook page and my comment deleted for bringing it up.

The increases for clubs after moving to a new facility (Thomond, Tallaght) goes to show how much of a difference it can make. Build it and they will come.

**nigel-harps1954** · 30/03/2013, 10:12 PM

705 in Cobh according to Extratime.ie. Another excellent attendance for them.

Couple of notes again:

Overall average attendance rose this week by a mere 10 people, thanks to the First Division surprisingly.

Lowest attendance this week in the First was 401 at Mervue v Harps. Lowest in the Premier being the reported 350 at Bray v UCD, lower than all four First Division games.

Highest attendance Shamrock Rovers v Cork city at 3,500.

Despite Stu's and Extra times estimate, there were 700ish at the Bray game. So the stat about it being lower attended than the 1st Div games is incorrect. Our stand which holds 950 was 2 thirds full with about 50 - 80 others dotted about the place. Feel free to put down whatever you want but just so you know.

Until they release an official figure, I'll be sticking with the estimate given. Different fans will have different views and I can't go with one fans guess.

You can watch on MNS tomorrow, or you can try make it out from this (not great) still, but the stand wasn't two-thirds full.

Not really.

**nigel-harps1954** · 31/03/2013, 2:50 PM

Just noticed there has (according to the stats given) been exactly 7,000 people in First Division grounds this season so far.

**Dunny** · 31/03/2013, 4:48 PM

What the f**k is going on with the Drogheda crowds? 2nd last year, European football aswell as a decent squad and manager. Idiots.

**outspoken** · 31/03/2013, 4:59 PM

Great to see Cobh been backed so well early on I just hope it keeps up for them, shocked to see so many youngsters at the game its great for the LOI.

**bluewhitearmy** · 31/03/2013, 4:59 PM

Talking to one of the Limerick lads he said that our attendance was not given out because the counting system failed after a bit 2305 was what it was at at the time it failed. Club gave an estimate of 3000 to Extratime apparently.

Edit: Extratime have the estimate of 3000 up.
