terrible crowd tonight,about 500 at best

**pineapple stu** · 15/08/2006, 9:54 PM

Update after the weekend. 2005 and 2004 in brackets. FD and PD indicate average crowd got in a different division to current year.

Going to go with 3000 for the Dery game to keep it conservative as usual. Any other notes on Kildare-Rovers? Fairly big difference! Going to split it and go with 800 for now; unsatisfactory, but what can you do. Going to go with RonnieB's 600 for Longford-UCD on the grounds that there may have been more people around the ground than I allowed for.

Saw 2650 in the Star for Shels-Cork; the other figures appeared official and agreed to here. Anyone at the game to confirm this one? Have left it out for now.

Bohs - 1482 (1976; 2340) (missing Longford)

2966 or so.

**nshoop** · 15/08/2006, 9:59 PM

That makes depressing reading

Rogue Trader

Last time Sligo Rovers won in Belfield, almost 25 years ago, we still had Punts as our currency, ( Geez Smokie didn't even live next door to Alice that long

)

Nah about 320 I'd say

**dfx-** · 15/08/2006, 10:56 PM

350-400 tonight I'd say.

Slightly more in Newbridge.

**Lim till i die** · 15/08/2006, 10:58 PM

Not being funny, but seriously where are all the Shams gone??

Awful crowds when your top of the league, what more do people want??

**dfx-** · 15/08/2006, 11:00 PM

Didn't expect that many tonight, personally...bit surprised on Saturday.

**monzo** · 15/08/2006, 11:01 PM

There was between 400 and 450 at the Harps V Kilkenny game - swaying more to the 400 side than 450 I think.

**hoops1** · 15/08/2006, 11:06 PM

Awful crowds. I dont think so there was a great crowd at the galway
game two weeks ago. What team would pull a crowd against Athlone( who we only played 3 weeks ago and whacked twice already) on a ****ing Tuesday night with a game another game on Friday, Not to mention the biggest game of our season Friday week

Didn't ye bring 1000+ to your first game in Newbridge?

Do you think the novelty's wearing off for a lot of people?

**hoops1** · 15/08/2006, 11:14 PM

We still had more fans than the Home

team
Even tho it was a nightmare getting across town with bigotball on

**dfx-** · 15/08/2006, 11:15 PM

There was, a significant amount of games still have good following throughout the season though - Dundalk away, Athlone away, Kilkenny away for a Tuesday night and Friday nights at home.

I think the first trip to Newbridge was never going to be repeated..

I thought 700 tops. With about 400 CCFC fans.

Official attendance - Rovers V Athlone was 642.

Athlone fans were non existant, although in fairness, they travelled in numbers for the original fixture when it was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
To be honest, wasn't expecting more than about 500 tonight.

Any night during the week is bad for travelling to matches. We are due to play you in Tolka again on Friday 29th September but I see that the FAI Cup quarter finals are on that weekend as well so with a bit of luck for both of us that match will be postponed to a later date. Whatever happens in the cup to both of us hopefully it will be changed to a Saturday or Sunday and we will travel in numbers again
