Anyway, I think most people are just interested to see what crowds clubs pull in around the country.

Technically, it can only be proof that attendances are growing this year!

you sure? what I just saw on TV3 the jodi was half empty - though there seemes to be a few in the shed - were Cork fans in connaught st.?
I would guess the attendance for the game at the RSC was about 1400-1500? the main stand was definately not full and plenty of gaps around the ground also...1100 in stand and about 300-400 around the ground.
About 2,500 I'd guess tonight.

523 counted at UCD-Derry, including about 100 Derry fans who didn't even miss a drum beat when we scored!
I would have went with 2000-2500
Stand half empty (i came in late & had to do lap of ground so could see easily) & 1000 in the shed would probably be pushing it.
The Jodi holds 2,800 and I'd say there was around 1,700 in it. Throw in another 500 in the Shed and I'd say there were around 2,200 at the game. A little bit disappointing considering the amount we had plugged the game, but it's still around a thousand more than would have turned out otherwise.
Fair play to Cork, brought a good crowd up.
The Derry fans were the best I've ever seen. Heroes.523 counted at UCD-Derry, including about 100 Derry fans who didn't even miss a drum beat when we scored!

Townsend on McGrath
Small enough city support but hard for people to do 2 weekend trips when have shels in Tolka on monday.
I thought it was a brutal crowd to be honest, of about 2,000. About 100/120 City fans there, which wasn't brilliant, but giventhe game on monday, its understandable
was 890
Aye, Irish Times reckons "half the expected 5000 turned up" as well. 2,500 sounds reasonable. Still, a good crowd for Rovers compared to the last couple of seasons.
Considering rovers are a club in crisis who have barely won a game all season, 2,500 in a match with little away support and a match that was only an ordinary league match is very impressive imo. You can't expect too much too soon, it's a nice foundation to build on for them.
1,983 at Shels v Bray
1100 at Harps-Longford, according to the Harps forum.
One of the papers I read today said 3k at the Shamrock Rovers game. Make what you will of it. I suppose we're going for the lowest estimate anyway to err on the side of caution.
im going with 2,900 from what i saw when i was actually there! Unlike some people here who are going off what they saw on tv3; (ie the end of the jodi stand for away support which wasnt full)
