So about 25 Harps fans then?

Very surprised at the attendance up in Oriel, I know it's a Sunday afternoon and Dundalk only played at home on Wednesday but it was surely the biggest league game of the season so far. A win would have all but secured the league title again.

We were shocked too though Sunday will always dent crowds (honestly any time other than Friday at 7:45 is a problem for City), and the weather was shocking to be fair, plus theyd just been knocked out of Europe so you can imagine that disappointment putting a few non regulars off.

Europe really does throw the league games off a fair bit. It takes some fans a while to get back into the Friday routine. Happens all clubs too

It rained solidly all day and this would have knocked a few hundred off, it being on a Sunday would have knocked a few hundred more. Thought we would have hit 3000 though so still a disappointing attendance.

Got a good laugh off a few Dundalk fans on Twitter saying Citys away support is useless and claiming they bring 500/600 everywhere they go. Not saying we've huge away support or anything but it wasn't that long ago when they were bringing 15 fans to Cork when Sean McCaffery was their manager

**GypsyBlackCat** · 27/07/2015, 9:54 AM

I'd say about 1400 give or take at Bohs v Derry.

Yeah arguments on Twitter dont really count in the real World,you know that of course?
A mixture of everything described above knocked the guts out of the gate.

**outspoken** · 27/07/2015, 11:33 AM

Was told by someone in the press box the other night the official attendance given was 461 or something in around that figure. That is f(clking disgusting for a premier division game. Supporters club working their socks off putting posters up all week in town but no improvement at all. Until the club itself make an effort to do something our numbers are only going to go one way and it's down. Very disappointing

The weather was a big factor in yesterday's lower than expected crowd in Dundalk. This was indeed the lowest of the season, nothing but a Friday night works it seems.

From the 10 home games so far, last night was also one of 3 where the crowd was under 3k. One of these was a Monday night v Galway, the other being a Friday night v Limerick.

Decent crew up from Cork to be fair, prob agree with around 100.

**nigel-harps1954** · 31/07/2015, 10:35 PM

Harps v Athlone: 738

Almost strange to see an away support in Finn Park these days, but around 20-30 Athlone fans there. Fair play to them for travelling up.
