Attendances 2018

**Charlie Darwin** · 28/04/2018, 2:39 AM

Great to see more than 10,000 out between the games in Derry and Cork. If we can maintain those sort of figures for the games between the top five, hopefully that'll have some spillover effect for the rest of the calendar.

I can only go with information I see elsewhere, since of course I wasn't on that bus myself.

You can only take someone at face value Ezeikial. If someone is happy to clarify otherwise, that's fine. Do you have information that would suggest it wasn't the doing of Drogheda as has been suggested by numerous people?

Nigel - you seem to be putting the blame on the Drogheda board based on little more than a random social media post. The first post I have seen from you said this

Could it be that the Gardai decided to take action based on mis-behaviour en route?

I don't know what occurred either, although a Drogheda BOM member told me that the club did not make the call that was alleged.

I heard Bradser was driving the post (but I did not want to say so until I saw it posted on Social Media)

If that is the case then fair enough, I'd happily retract my comments. But, to me, that's no more than a random post on Foot.ie than the several posts on social media stating otherwise.

The fact there's been no comment from Drogheda, or from Cobh, or from Garda� on the matter suggests to me something has gone on that someone is unwilling to admit. The only statements being made are from those who claim to have been on the bus, or from those who claim to know people who were on the bus.

You are absolutely right and that is why the only pertinent fact I presented is that the Drogheda BOM member told me it did not happen

I don't know the facts of what happened. It is not okay to present pretty damning accusations made by randomers on on social media as factual - surely you get that?

**nigel-harps1954** · 28/04/2018, 9:03 PM

I get your point indeed Ezeikial.

On an unrelated topic however, there couldn't have been many more than 300 in Longford tonight. Only around 40 Harps fans down too.

That's a ~300KM return journey, that's admirable enough for the First Division in my opinion.

It's our shortest trip of the year. We had as much if not more in Drogheda on a Monday night for our rearranged game there.

**Olander** · 29/04/2018, 1:18 AM

753 at Terryland for Galway United v Cobh Ramblers.

Nigel, the Waterford News and Star gave the Pat's Blues game as 1358

Against Sligo? That's not the official figure given by Waterford themselves.

**bluemovie** · 29/04/2018, 8:18 PM

No the game last Monday in Inchicore. You were missing that figure I think.

Ah yes, excellent. Thank you very much.

**PartySaint** · 30/04/2018, 7:42 AM

2,429 at Richmond on Friday night.

458. Tweeted during the game by the Longford Leader.

Looked to be an even smaller crowd than the UCD game which most people thought couldn�t have been more than 200. We always seem to give a figure in that 450 range.

Waterford FC highlights has the Bohs v Blues attendance as 1540

Saw that figure quoted alright. crowd seemed a lot bigger on the night. always difficult as never sure if that includes Bohs members etc which could add a couple of hundred more to the figure.Recall being pleasantly surprised by the size of the crowd on Monday night, decent atmosphere as well by both sets of fans.
