The maximum capacity was approx 6,600 with Rovers allocated 3,600 and Pats 3,000. There were plenty of empty seats so there was no way there was 6,000 there.

They are just saying that for the FAI Health and Safety Crowd.
Id say more like 6500.The whole place was packed apart from the "no mans land which would only hold another 400 or so.

Spoken like a true Galway man!

Around 300 at Harps Limerick.

**dcfcsteve** · 31/10/2006, 11:32 PM

Apparently 4,000-4,500 at each of our 2 home games versus Drogheda Stu

**Frankfurt Hoop** · 01/11/2006, 12:38 AM

A depressing couple of hundred in Kilkenny tonight, mostly visitors.

Would say there was only around 140 at this game. A lot of late comers ground was very enpty for the first 10mins.
The long weekend probably had an effect, among other things...

**De Town** · 02/11/2006, 3:43 PM

Longford v Derry: 700, 400-450 of which were from Derry

Drogs v LTFC: Not sure about guessing crowds at United Pk. but would say around 1400

I doubt it was that full. Looked pretty empty opposite the TV gantry.

The terracing across from the stand was fairly full...

**pineapple stu** · 03/11/2006, 12:54 PM

Yeah, the side opposite the TV gantry is the away fans side. All the home fans are usually under the telly camera.

Yeah I know, I've been up there a rake load of times, but it's impossible to tell how many people are in there.

1246 announced at Terryland for Galway United v. Kildare County.

That includes season ticket holders and kids. I had to say thay before any of the exaggerators claim that there was 12,000 at the game. One section of the main stand is reserved for visiting fans. It was empty.

**oriel** · 04/11/2006, 12:13 AM

Mons v Dundalk

Would estimate 600 of which 500 were frozen Dundalk souls.

Mons Dogs being the only highlight, a bargain at eur 3.00 !

**pineapple stu** · 04/11/2006, 12:32 AM

A dire 270 at UCD-Sligo. Can only assume the freezing cold weather, plus the fact that we're safe before FAI f***ing about, contributed to the crowd. Sligo had about 30 there.

Still, nice to be at a game under floodlights all the same!

**Terry** · 04/11/2006, 7:00 AM

not far off paddyfield but the official attendance was 1262

was very disappointing and with the result makes bad reading for next weekends attendance with it being on a saturday (bad day for united) and on tele I cant imagine more than half tonights attendance turning up

The recruitment drive for fans at UCD seems to have gone down like a led ballon!
