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.

[pineapple stu]

300-400 at DC v Shels.

[MariborKev]

2152 at Derry v Longford

[sfc red]

300-400 at DC v Shels.

Papers had 700. Would have said 450-500 myself.

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

[stickyjoe]

would of said 800-900 for the shels game myself

[gael353]

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

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...

[sligoman]

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.

[BrayUnknowns]

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

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.

[higgins]

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

[Eoingull]

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!
