Too early in the season for that as a keeper was the final piece of the jigsaw and that is sorted now!

So 2019 will be his first full season with his own players?

Attendance not announced at Market's Field last night apparently. Suffice to say the call for more bums on seats as long as they don't say anything too upsetting did not have the desired effect.

I don't know where those Drogs numbers are coming from. From 850 last year to 463 this year? I was at most home games last season and have been to almost all this season, and I would have said the attendances were more or less the same.

Thought they played decent football to be fair so not sure what it would take to attract the choosy bray public (perhaps a few wins ?).A shocking indictment of the 'full time set up' bray were hoping to progress (although that's hardly a surprise to anyone except the FAI).

The choosey Bray public didn't show up last year when they were flying.
considering how long the club have been around it is hard to understand how the support level is where it is.

Had been wondering myself about them. Few of the figures have been really low, the Harps game was something like 380, which seemed wrong to me but was the official figure given.

**bluemovie** · 15/05/2018, 5:41 AM

I think they said 392 in Bray v Waterford

**oriel** · 16/05/2018, 6:29 PM

Anyone know what the crowds were for Derry v Dlk and Pats v Sligo earlier in the week ?

**brendy_éire** · 16/05/2018, 7:25 PM

I'd estimate 2,500 at the Brandywell.

conservative guesstimate for Saints v Sligo would be around 1200.

1,273 the official number

I would agree with Brendy although over 3,000 tickets were actually sold! The tickets sold for the postponed game during the beast from the east storm were valid for that game.

That will depend on how the 2019 season goes, if not so well then i'm sure Bradley and co could spin it that way especially if he gets the players he wanted to sign all along. Either way the Rover's board need to stick by him as do the fans! The stringent wage structure and budgetry controls at Rovers have been a resounding success in keeping the club out of the red and without need for for board members to dig deep in to their pockets. Maybe loosening the purse strings would help Bradley and they could compete with the likes of Cork in signing players on 5k a week or Dundalk with their endless supply of kitchen sinks that are thrown at any player that have piqued interest at Tallaght but have opted for Oriel Park.
