Thats not too bad for a side fighting relegation. Fenlon the Great having quite an impact.

about 1300 at bray cork game. dont mind wha the langers say. new stand holds about 1000 and was over 3/4 full (800), other side i'd say ther was about 300-400 in it and about 200 behind the goal and standing around ground. poor crowd from cork imo only about 100 or so, i expected alot more.

I have no reason to make your attendance lower than it was but no chance there was 1300 but I am sure some other home fan will have different number. There was about 100 people opposite the stand & another 100 behind the goal. The stand was at very most half full.

Finn Harps V Kildare County

counted 197 thru the gate a lot of late comers.

Fair play also to the Harps fans who made the long journey down (20-30 I think).

I don't know braysnumber1, 100 is a decent away support for this league good 4-5 hour journey from Cork. Won't argue with you about the attendance.
Also was impressed with your supporters club shop and room was looking for the Kildare County V Bray programme(fai cup rd 2 2006), really nice people in the shop found programmes back from 1991, I think anyway (friendly V Kilmarnock), some good stuff. Thought it was really cool that the club had programmes from games back from previous seasons whereas some clubs might have thrown unsold programmes out.

A side fighting relegation...?!?!

Well - City and UCD are both mid-table, so I've no idea who you're talking about here.

I'd worry more about Harp's chances of being the first team to fall out of the First division into the new A League structure if I was you, given you're only out of the soup currently by goal difference. At least it would open the door for Letterkenny Rovers so we could have a proper Donegal team with potential in the league.....

I doubt any half-organised clubs would throw programmes out rather than sell them. I suspect it was more a reflection of Bray's popularity that they still had unsold programmes stretching back that far....

Poor attendance last night at the Showgrounds, overheard one of their board saying it didn't take long to count the gate receipts! Maybe 1000 at it?

A lot of late comers, probably due to the Man Utd game. Id say the crowd ended up being in the 250-300 region. Good crowd in the stand, by the hoarding next to the stand and a few across the pitch.

Hopefully our crowds will pick up now we have found winning form.

**pineapple stu** · 22/04/2007, 3:37 PM

Approx 800 at Cobh-Shels, according to the Cobh forum (think yer man is the Cobh CPO).

Any figure for Longford-Waterford?

**Schumi** · 22/04/2007, 3:41 PM

500 mentioned on the radio but probably not very accurate.

**LeixlipRed** · 22/04/2007, 3:43 PM

I'd say 800 is spot on. Though obviously I don't know the ground very well. I'd say over 200 Shels fans travelled. It's not upwards of 800 anyway. I'd cap it at that

**RonnieB** · 22/04/2007, 4:02 PM

500 would be around right.

**dublinwanderer** · 22/04/2007, 4:02 PM

prob wud agree with braysnumber1 about 1300 there alrite

**pineapple stu** · 22/04/2007, 4:04 PM

1300 and 700 being mentioned for the Bray game - which is right?

Assuming the new Argos stand holds maximum of 1000 I would put money on that 1300 is not correct. Who normally does the Bray estimates?

**pineapple stu** · 22/04/2007, 6:35 PM

Various people. Problem is one notes there were more Cork fans than Bray fans, so that's obviously not very reliable, while I don't generall trust attendance posts which are overly aggressive against the original post - usually an element of overcompensation involved.
