Cobh v Limerick around 375

Is it just me or all the clubs, which played tonight, enjoying a slight increase( on average) in their crowds?
It probably won't last but it's a nice beginning. So well done to the FAI promotion people. Hats off to Noel Mooney and the Club Promotion Officers.

The Bohs attendance was about the same as our last 3-4 home games combined last season. If we can keep it to between 2500-3000 then it'd be a great start. The kids go free was a reasonable success. It needs to be build on but it was a solid start.

We have Shamrock Rovers next [3500-4000] and Sligo on good Friday [3000 with kids go free]. If we can get those sort of numbers and a few wins then it'll make a big difference

Not sure we'll get that turn out for the Rovers game now its on a tuesday. I'd be confident of at least 4,000 if it was going ahead in its original slot.

The first games of the season usually get decent crowds as there hasn't been a game in 16 weeks. Also, a lot of the games were local derbies, which would have helped.

Edit - 309 appears official for Monaghan-Wexford, including about 60 away fans.

Was way more than that, it had to be round the 2500 mark

**Louth4sam** · 10/03/2007, 11:28 AM

Maybe that was excluding season ticket holders?

The Irish Times has 'the near-capacity 3,500 crowd' for UCD-Rovers.

**pineapple stu** · 10/03/2007, 11:40 AM

That's just nonsense. Capacity is 2500 for a start!

A Rovers fan beside me at the bus stop reckoned at least 3,500-4,000.

**SPXcyan** · 10/03/2007, 2:45 PM

I just remembered their been 3000 at a longford match few seasons ago.. if there were 3000 at that then 3000 for the cork game at least!

I heard 2500. Can't see how the RSC can fit 3000 anyway as seen some pictures & few people trackside. I'd guess 2000 more realistic as stand only holds 1200 or something.

**Da Real Rover** · 10/03/2007, 4:22 PM

Is there any official figures from galway of how many rovers fans were down there last nite??

**Conor H** · 10/03/2007, 4:42 PM

Heard 300.

**pineapple stu** · 10/03/2007, 4:59 PM

Think 1700 in fairer fo our game, in hindsight.

In the second half anyway, the main stand was pretty much full (a few empty seats at the end I was in offset by the Rovers end overflowing) - say 800 (holds 848). We reckoned about 600 standing around the ground and the Cascarino stand (which is supposed to hold now 650) was about half full. So total is 800+600+300 = 1700.
