Didn't think this myself but have just received a text saying there were 750 incl freebies, season ticket holders etc

**Ronnie** · 30/05/2007, 1:09 PM

Yeah, only about 300 last night in Flancare, probably half from Galway. Dark days in Flancare. Only the most loyal turning up now. Glaway remind me of our first and second season up - great buzz and belief in the fans, travelling in resonable numbers. It seems that the element that was there 5 years ago that were nothing but trouble has been delat with too by Galway.

No surprise it's an Athlone fan who's saying we had 60.Don't be so petty-or else get your eyes checked.

Conor would you do everyone a favour and grow up, fast.

I counted 45 Galway heads in section D, and then there was a small group on the halfway line on the far side. There was 70 in the two middle sections, and 25 in section A. If all the people in section C were from Galway, that would total about 130. If not, then there was 60.

They are the same security staff used at Dalymount and Richmond Park. Didn't hear of any issues apart from the two Cork fans who have been informed by Gardai that they will be charged for the possesion of the flares. I thought the Cork fans were decent enough compared to the problems we had with Sligo ( bottle thrown onto pitch ) and Waterford ( pitch encroachment ).

**GuisaSaigon** · 30/05/2007, 5:30 PM

450-500 at the Flansiro, at least 150 of those from Galway. Someone needs to learn how to count before trying it again.

**ger121** · 30/05/2007, 5:55 PM

Not sure if anyone posted this already but the official attendance at Bohs v Pats was 2453. Very poor crowd.

There was a decent home crowd for a Monday night, but only 580 Pat's made the journey cross town.

Incidentally, great coverage by Setanta. Nice little package at the start of the prog. with bits of footage of Dublin and Phibs. as well as goals.

**WindmillWarrior** · 30/05/2007, 6:30 PM

Drogs v Rovers. Looked a poor crowd for a game against Rovers. 1,500.

**Comic Book Guy** · 30/05/2007, 8:50 PM

Around 500 at Cobh Ramblers/Kildare

**Saint Tom** · 30/05/2007, 9:47 PM

there was also a few hundred in the first blocks of the stand. 30% of an attendance for an away match ( say 700 in total if 580 on connaught st) aint disasterous. monday games never bring the crowds in

**pineapple stu** · 30/05/2007, 10:07 PM

**Marco** · 30/05/2007, 10:16 PM

We had over 800 at the Shels game, 510 at Kildare game, 601 against Athlone

**pineapple stu** · 30/05/2007, 10:18 PM

I assume you're looking for your figures?

I have -
600 v Athlone
252 v Harps
500 v Kildare
390 v Kilkenny
375 v Limerick
800 v Shels
550 v Wexford

Average 495.

Presumably the stint in Turner's Cross at the start of the year is still hitting the average.

Please keep off-topic discussion to a minimum in this thread. It's very obviously for the discussion of attendance numbers only.

[QUOTE=pineapple stu;695939]Can the Galway fans picking a row with half the league please take thingselsewhere and stop clogging up this thread?

Can I revise my guestimate of the attendance for the Longford V Galway match as it seemed to have upset an Athlone Town supporter to 373 with 87 United fans. Just another small point as well a lot of supporters who go to away games don't necessarily wear their team's colours making it hard to estimate how many were there.
