Kevin,
3100 seems a bit high after looking at EL weekly last night.One end of the stand seemed to be half full(althought that might have been filmed before kickoff?) and there only seemed to be 150/200 around the far side?

For once I'm not slagging,just interested!

On a slightly different note,great to see the attendences at Sligo!If Sligo come up and we can hold on,it'll make for an interesting league in the NW next season, with Sligo, Harps and Derry.

I would say about 1700 too. Seemed to be a few more gaps in the stand compared to the harps game. There defenitley wasn't more than the 1900 for that game.

trevy, I don't agree with your breakdown though. The stand capacity is 1200 or so, and it wasn't that full.

So where were the others from? Must have wandered in accidentally off the street and then held captive by Ronan Seery until the end of the game

Increases for absolutely everyone except Dub City (understandable) and Kildare.

I'm assuming the figure in brackets is the average across all of last season though ? In which case it would be fair to expect crowds at most clubs to start tailing-off as the season progresses and their chances diminish.

Great to see big increases at Limerick and Sligo though. Makes you wonder where those extra fans are the rest of the time !

**gael353** · 15/04/2005, 10:21 PM

1085, dry but bitter wind blowing.

**GalwayFrancis** · 15/04/2005, 10:44 PM

between 700 - 800 at the galway-dundalk game....bout 6 dundalk fans

im sure the official att will appear here shortly, but for now thats a decent
guestimate

**pineapple stu** · 16/04/2005, 12:06 AM

505 at UCD v. Waterford. Including Paul McGrath and Mick McCarthy!

Is that an official figure, or are you just saying that 'cos it sounds better than 1100?

Yep. However, there've also been a couple of big derby games so far - Bohs v. Rovers, Galway v. Sligo (though the league screwed up and had it clash with the CL), Pat's v. Bohs, Rovers v. Shels - all of which will bring the averages up. I think though that most of the individual match figures are up from last season.

**De Town** · 16/04/2005, 9:08 PM

About 1200 at Longford v Bray with maybe 100 from Bray

**pineapple stu** · 16/04/2005, 11:14 PM

2,364 at Shels-Pat's.

**Slash/ED** · 16/04/2005, 11:24 PM

That figure must be wrong, it was our biggest crowd of the season I thought! It must either be a typo or didn't take into account the away fans or something, as was said there I can't believe it was our lowest crowd so far, doesn't make sense.
