You can get an idea of the crowd at Dublin City v Shels from the video on the Shels site. Shopping Centre end is empty, there's a shot of a fair bit of the Connaught Street stand and it's empty, we don't see the Des Kelly stand, but I don't thikn it's open for DC games (wasn't when I was there anyway) and the Jodi looks to be no more than 20% full, though I think the last couple of blocks don't come into shot. So about 500, though I'm not going to put that in unless someone who was at the game agrees.

300-400 at DC v Shels.

2152 at Derry v Longford

Agreed, I reckon last night's game was about 900-1100 with about 30 blues fans!

would of said 800-900 for the shels game myself

I know its not league and only a friendly but there was approx 2,500 at the leeds United Limerick friendly last night on a beautiful sunny evening

But compare that with the amount of cars that got broken into and...

About 500 at Bray Vs. Rovers. About 100 from Sligo.

No offence to Limerick obviously, but it's a sad indictment of the league that one of the biggest crowds at any ground this season is for an English First Division side's reserves and youths.

Easily 800+ at the Bray Vs. Sligo game last night.
Still not sure were all these 100 sligo fans were ? I spotted about 40 at max i reckon.

I was at the Dublin City game and thought it was 500 or more but in the Jodi with 3 sides of the ground closed its hard to judge what the actual crowd is. Gareth on the Shels site mentioned 300/400 but I don’t think that an official figure.

Shels v Waterford game was about 800/900 ??
More than I expected for a Monday night to be honest.

Shels v Dublin
Shels v Waterford
Shels v UCD
Please dont let this dream end

Yeah, it can be a little sad watching large unfamiliar crowds gather for friendlies against English or Scottish teams...but I appreciate their role as valuable fundraisers. Was there not a game a few years ago involving the Dream Team, or Keith Duffy All Stars that sold out Tolka Park? Now that was genuinely embarrassing!
