1,492 officially (according to the report on the Pats website)Shockingly poor attendance at Pats v Cork tonight. Personally, I thought no more than 1800, but I was talking to a Pats director on my way out of McDowell's and he said 1400 - dunno whether that was 1400 who paid in with season ticket holders, etc on top. Either way, it was very disappointing, even allowing for it being live on telly.
PS Hi to Peadar, Eanna and Redgav. Told youse I had a good feeling beforehand.

Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.

ballybofey to dublin is bout 2&half hrs(same as sligo to dublin), sligo to waterford in excess of 4&half. we brought 250 to most games last year and 500 to monaghan twice which is the only game within 2 hours driving

dublin to ballybofey is what? by helicopter i assume?
I think you'll find that Ballybofey is further from Dublin than Sligo Red4eva!
Dun Laoghaire to Swords can sometimes take two and a half hours. From there, it's at least three hours to Ballybofey.
If it takes you 2 and a half hours to get from Sligo to Ballybofey, you must be driving a tractor.
Really? Was there a lot of room at the Bohs end? I would have guessed at around 1800 myself.Sadly you cannot count, the attendance was a dreadful 1,255
Not a chance you'd make Ballybofey in 2 1/2 hours. Besides, there's a train and decent bus service to Sligo which makes it much easier to get to.ballybofey to dublin is bout 2&half hrs (same as sligo to dublin),
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Defitinly more than 600. Star had 1200 but I'd say it was somewhere in between both figures. I'd say around 900.
ya my bad shouldn't have assumed aa would be right. not havin a go at shams(sorry for calling ye that but that's what we call ya) fans or anythin. it's great to see a bit of life in the 1st div

I did it in 2 hours 50 minutes from the Port Tunnel to Ballybofey on a Friday evening last season. The worst part of the journey is getting out of Dublin.Where's that from?

Shouldn't take 4 hours unless the traffic is absolutely jammers in Monaghan and Blaney.
FAI observer apparently, who presumably got it from your officialsWhere's that from?

That's the League Cup game? Not bad - Setanta Cup having a bit of an impression, it seems.
Waiting on a few more estimates (harps fans who were at the game pls have a guess) I would go with 1,000 - 1,100. Def no more than that, but not a bad crowd for a wet evening i suppose, and not forgetting our dreadful start of the season with 4 defeats in a row.
Drogs v Longford was 1,611.
