Recent matches missing -
Longford v Rovers

Derry v Rovers I'd guesstimate 2,500. Longford v Rovers around 450. Awful home support.

Fair play to Galway great crowd last night. Pic of Glynn in the herag yesterday with the new stand in the background.

Monaghan v Shels

Wasn't more than 200. 150-160 maybe. Shels fans outnumbered Monaghan fans quite easily

[Real ale Madrid]

Perhaps the Cork City fans will confirm or deny their estimations of the crowd.

Would be happy too. At Least 3,000 people. the stand was packed and loads of people standing behind each goal. They had a section reserved for us and as we didnt use all of it there was loads of Galway fans sitting there as there was simply no where else to sit. Excellent game too so that should keep attendances up a bit.

[gufct]

Sorry, how could one doubt Nick?

However, I would be interested to hear from Cork supporters.

Happy now or something else to whinge about.

i was at the galway game last night and i'd say 3072 was right. great crowd. terryland looked good

Was the game recorded? Maybe they should bring it out on DVD!













Joking.
Seriously well done to Galway on their crowds, hopefully we can match them next year if we go up.

It's pretty amazing that Galway United have the 3rd highest average in the Division given our league position.

Spot on, fantastic to see fans standing by their team like that. So often its the case when a team moves up a division, (see Galway fans no digs there) its all great crowds at the start, then after a poor start you`re back to even lower than you had in the First Div. Nice to see one club buck this trend.

Fair play

[Patrick Dunne]

Strange phenomen. Great crowds in Terryland, seems to be a lot of people who come up for a detached look at the match as opposed to United supporters.

I would say that at most 10-20% of the people in Terryland wore scarves/jersies/tops etc. Also there isn't a huge amount of passion shown, unless United score.

Nevertheless, these are the type of "demographic" the EL needs to see at matches. Around eight months since our last win at home - encouraging that we can still pull in 3,000.

[micls]

Great crowd last night especially considering it was a tuesday...the weather helped but definitely around the 3000 mark.

[steno]

Picture of it here.

I make it 20 to the right of the 'tunnel', and squinting a lot it looks like 35X5 down the other end, totaling 195?

More seats added to the left since that picture was taken (they are red in colours) its 250 and incidently 180 for Kilkenny game is nearly about right.

[Paraic]

It's phenomenal - the sligo rovers manager was lamenting yesterday about the size of the crowd, and wishing that fans here in sligo would come out in similar numbers.

why was the crowd so big? was it the new signings / former international factors / new stand as another poster suggested?

or nothing else to do in Galway on a Tuesday night, as another poster suggested.

Judge for yourself, Doubting Thomas. Here is a short video from the game...

about 2000 id say tonight, mind you the turnstile operation is a farce at the showgrounds, cash being taken hand over fist at the ticket kiosk and no tickets being given out because they ran out. This is totally unprofessional and this amateurism usually leaves the clubs dry. Crazy stuff door of kiosk wide open 2 guys inside and one at outside the door and cash all over the floor of the kiosk/porto cabin. I would love to see the reconciliation sheet.
None of these people would run their business's that way

About 1,500 for Dundalk vs. Finn Harps the other night.
