If only the CAB had been around then.....

was it Stuart Gauld ? Surely he wasn't still playing by then...?

It was, and what's more he went on for quite a while after, playing for Glenavon and Harps.

Harps Wexford would have been about 700.

**Conor H** · 06/09/2007, 6:38 PM

Drogs v Galway

I'd have said 1500.

I dont think they counted Tom (am I allowed mention him?) either so it could be 2379

**Kildare Lad** · 09/09/2007, 11:00 AM

For Kilkenny v Kildare i would have guessed about 100 or so

Then for Kildare v Dundalk i would say 300

**trevy** · 09/09/2007, 11:42 AM

I can't get into the Waterford United website for some reason so can't see is there an official attendance there for Friday night v Bray but I'd guess about 1300 there.

**SPXcyan** · 09/09/2007, 2:51 PM

I wasn't at the match but I drove past the RSC during the match and since the mound has been taken away I could see right into the place and the stand looked full and could see a few standing around too! 1300 would have been a good guess :P
