Ill try to be civil about this and tell you that you are completely wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. Dont just take my word for it check Rovers website, the new stand holds 1500 and it was 3/4 full like i said and that makes 1125, like i said. Get your facts straight and id say our Limerick game was probably our best attendance this season. My home attendances tend to be accurate.

Our attandances must've been over exaggerated this season I reckon there Pineapple - defo down from last season (which ye saw yourself) and defo doesnt have an average of 1700 this season

).

Our average this season is only around 1200

**Terry** · 04/08/2005, 9:38 AM

GUFC v Athlone was 319 as stated before.

Is that your personal guess Cosmo or something you've actually heard? We're not usually so far off the mark except with Cork.

My personal guess but I was also talking to a lad that does the gate this morning and we just got into the conversation on our sh!t attendances this season. He was just talking at the top of his head but he was saying our couple of good attendances at the start of the season were around the 1700/1800 mark. Only around 1100 on friday and he was saying a rough estimate for the season wouldn't be far off the 1200/1300 mark (just at the top of his head in conversation though but hes usually spot on with figures).

Dont know about figures wise but just from being in the ground at matches you can see theres a drop in attandances in united park this season unfortunately

That was the Longford game? Will put that in. I know you've mentioned before about the Drogheda attendances alright. Suppose there's nothing we can really do unless yer man wants to give us figures? I think some of Drogs' figures last year were official, while none are this year, and it's hard to estimate the terracing.

**Cosmo** · 04/08/2005, 1:35 PM

yeah that was longford. eh well there's official and 'official' - i shouldve been asking him all season after every match (and correcting a couple i saw was wrong but i very rarely go into this thread because of some supporters blatent lies and overexaggerations

) but I just couldn't be ars*d

Great Hatred. Little Room. Too much Free Time

**WindmillWarrior** · 04/08/2005, 3:25 PM

1,112 given in the paper for the Drogs v Longford game. Sounds official to me.

**thomas** · 04/08/2005, 4:17 PM

Clubs are required to fax the attendance to the league within 60 minutes of the end of a match so surely actual official attendances are available?

I wouldnt call it hatred, more like a dislike. Like if you had a cockroach stuck to your shoe, too small and insignificant to hate but it does irritate ya alot.

Not unless the league release them in turn. Which they don't and have no intention of doing.

**Speranza** · 05/08/2005, 1:08 AM

2500 for city vs bohs according to city forum.
