Some solid attendances this week. Cork of course flying on all fronts.
25 or 30 hardly much of a away crowd ?
On that note what is a good away crowd to bring , how many will cork bring to Dundalk Friday night coming ?
380 paying punters in Tolka last night out of a crowd of 470.Shocking.
My point was that it was a good away following considering it's two long away trips inside a week. Bray were up a few weeks ago and had half the amount Limerick did and they were second in the table at the time. It's rare to see a whole lot more than 20/30 away fans in Finn Park.

450 estimated by ET at Drogheda-Derry. Brutal.
I think that's the same figure that they gave for the Drogs v Bray game, so they may have accidentally repeated it. I was at both games and there seemed to be a lot more there last night than the number that turned out to see Bray. Whatever the case, Drogheda should give out an official figure. These estimated attendances are highly speculative.
Drogheda are really difficult to get official figures out of. One of the few clubs that I've had trouble with this season.

Dundalk for some reason gave an estimated attendance for the Sligo game a few weeks back, this was 'approx. 3k', absolutely no way that figure is correct, I would go with 2,600 max.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
Looked a pretty okay crowd in Cobh tonight from the stream I caught. Really poor Waterford support though considering the short trip down the road on a Saturday night.

By all accounts decent following from Waterford Nigel - 100 or so, not bad for a first division team. The BSC had two buses go down alone. Going from the stream you saw, impossible to base your opinion on that, plus the away support don't always sit/stand in the same area of the ground, always a few spread throughout the ground as well.
Would have said around 700 or so in Cobh, poor enough considering top of the table game. About 150 from Waterford. I don't know what Ramblers have to do to get more in, maybe the Munster game and cup final had something to do with it.
First Division yeah, that's a fair enough excuse, but currently around 1,500 going through the gates of the RSC for home games. Less than 10% of that headed just an hour and a half down the road to watch a top of the table clash on a good Saturday evening is pretty poor regardless.
For arguments sake, Harps have been struggling to get 1,000 through the gates lately. We don't have much in the way of bandwagon left. Premier Division novelty has well worn off by now. We're playing Sligo on Friday night, roughly the same sort of distance down the road as Waterford to Cobh. If there's less than 200-250 of us down there I'll be scratching my head wondering why. We had 400 down there this time last season. I would have expected something the same from Waterford last night considering the bandwagon that's in force at the minute.

If you can continue to get above 500 home fans in the gate though, it'll be a marked improvement on previous seasons. Small steps and all that.
However, I don't know why Cobh people don't get out more either. St Colmans Park is one of the nicest small grounds in the league, certainly one of my favourites. It's in a good location and a short enough walk from the town. It's got a bar, and decent spectator facilities. What more could you want?
There's 12,800 people in the town as per the 2016 census. Where's the other 12,300?

I wish I knew but I suspect there's a small cohort of people with a big grudge against the club, and in a small town you know that can be pretty damaging. If they can stay in touch at the top of the table then it should improve but I feel sorry for the dedicated group who have done a good job marketing the club on social media, done school visits, summer camps etc in the past few years, they deserve better.
