The game itself wasnt bad but experience won the day for ye Rossitor and Fortune were the diff. Dundalk need two new central defenders, they are shocking and we said it to some disgruntelled dundalk fans at half time. They told us where to go, ten mins into the second half....

those keystone defenders do it again...and two of the back four were subbed. Your new stadium looks class and is well located, the birds around town wern't bad either

No inflation of figures here in Athlone. We all know down here that we have 350 max loyal supporters. We just need success to get all the sunshiners back and hope we can hang onto some of them if things go pear shaped again.

As you saw it would be extremely hard get new faces down to St Mels in the condition it is in. When we get to our new ground around August that will be easier to manage. I wouldn't want us in the premier anyways unless we could hold our own and not be whipped all the time.

i'd say bout 1350 in main stand, 250-300 in blue stand and near 200 shed end. 1750 is prob close enough

a kildare steward mentioned that figure when asked late in the game.
about 900 Rovers fans in that crowd, if not 1000.

**Conor H** · 05/04/2006, 3:01 PM

On the Kildare forum thye said at most 500 Rovers fans.

**swano** · 05/04/2006, 5:11 PM

the people selling the tickets for the kildare and Rovers game said they sold 1100 tickets and their average gate is usually less than 200. I'd say about 750 Rovers fans out of the 1100.

**WindmillWarrior** · 06/04/2006, 3:19 PM

I'd say you're talking around 1,300 for Drogs v Bray.

**JC_GUFC** · 07/04/2006, 8:19 AM

Just a guesstimate at 600 at Dundalk v Galway last night - Dundalk fans views would be more accurate I'd say

**pineapple stu** · 07/04/2006, 6:30 PM

Dundalk fans say 300. Will split the difference and tend towards Dundalk's figure, so 400. I'm also taking out the 1200 from the Kildare forum for Dundalk v Kildare, which was down as "pathetic" on the Dundalk forum.

After all that, the average for this year is the exact same as last year. Which is worrying as we've still got the summer lull to come yet...
