Why are you guessing when the crowd's given above?
Nice to see Cork fans' assertions that here were definitely more than 6500 and probably more than 7000 were out - are official attendances for Cork City going to catch out Corkonian exaggeration?
Will move Waterford-Harps up to 2750 (half way between 2500 and 3000) and put Rovers-Shels in as 3000 for the moment.

there was bout 250 at Dublin City-Rovers game with majority easily rovers fans. And why are galway united fans always stirring things up, i wonder?
Huge crowd (for Division 1) at Limerick v Monaghan United.
According to their chairman there were 1800 paid in, but that probably doesn't include kids who got in for €2 with an adult (they just put a biro mark onthe ticket), so I'd say 2000-2100.
Bet the club wishes it was Good Friday every week!
3873 official according to the bloke who counts the tickets on Gypsies Web.
6,224.....Well then I take back my WOW bit!!! thats a miserable turnout lads
There are 6000 seats a the cross, St anne there was at least 2000 out of a possible 2600, and put in the full shed and all above the st annes .... easily 6500, more like 7000 ..... stay with 6500, that way it is dead cert.
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
The Star reported 1800 in attendance at our first game back at Hogan Park, it wouldn't be far wrong as there were still queues outside the ground when the game was 10 mins old.........
Unity is Power, Power if shared is Strength, Limerick 37 serving the Community of Limerick.

woaf! attendences hav shot up!!! cooool...
Rovers Vs Shels - 3.500
Spoke to various Shelbournes heads who were there, some in the Jodi, others in the Connaught St side - consensus 3,500, with approx 50-50 split betwen both sides.
Most are mentioning 3500 for Rovers-Shels, so will put it in as that...
One game only, don't forget! Still, everyone bar Dublin City (understandable as they've just been relegated) is up; twelve teams are up by over 50% and six teams (including the three promoted teams) are up over 100%. Don't see that lasting, but there's a bit of scope for a big fall and yet being up on last year.
Just as a comparison, I can put up the attendances for the corresponding games last season...

in the case of the drogs vs derry the match last year was on a tuesday night which is a big part of the difference
Think it clashed with the CL on the telly, more to the point. But yeah, it was an unusually low attendance alright. Still, should help you get your average up this season!
Thursday night was in Tolka (this wasn't Friday night as someone suggested above)
I agreed with the Sligo fan's guess of 300 rather than the Dublin City guess of 150.
On Friday Galway United's official attendance was 1264 which you have - the 'real' attendance was probably about 1600.
Fair dues to Limerick though - amazing crowd for the visit of Monaghan!
Hopefully it wasn't just the Good Friday effect which resulted in the bigger crowds!

I phoned the speaking clock to hear a voice speak, it said - "At the tone you will be very much alone"
About 4,400 at the Cross for City-Shels. All the dry areas were full: Shed - 2,000, Derrynane - 1,185, top half of Donnie Ford - 950, plus about 250 in the uncovered part of DF, and about 25 ppl in St.Anne's end. My figures work out at 4410, but since its only an estimate, we'll say 4,400!
Why was the attendance so low ar Turners cross tonight compared to Friday. I would have thought Shels would have attracted a lot more than Bray.
/edit - Forgot Friday was good Friday. Cork alco's.

I think this is only for league games so you don't have to round down. That's a low crowd by big game Cork standards no?
If it hadnt been raining there would have been a much bigger turn out.. maybe even a full house by cork city standards.....
