200 attended Athlone Town vs Kildare County tonight.
The game had everything.
Fork lightning dancing through the sky and heavy rain for one hour solid leading up to the game
Security system in the ground went mad telling everyone to evacuate and not to use the lifts
6 goals and 2 players sent off and for the record the worst ref I have ever seen in 30 years.
was it Neil Doyle by any chance?Originally Posted by Battery Rover

I'd say that the wheather had a bit of an effect was really heavy rain on the drive up.200 attended Athlone Town vs Kildare County tonight.

I'm going to look for my petrol money back off the team tonight seriously still scratching my head,great start and then go and concede four goals in a row FFS.
First time at the new ground very impressed with the stand,shame about the mad as cootes and website though.
Tjought the ref was good Battery rover one of the best performances I've seen for one all season.
Everyone needs something to believe in, I believe I'll have another beer.
Kilkenny v Limerick : 84
Of whom 56 were Limerick fans
I was thinking the same myself!
I don't know which is sadder the attendance or the fact that someone counted every one at the game. Maybe he needs to get out more
Misfits
I can judge the crowd fine. If you're officially allowed 2,000 (apologies) then officially there couldn't have been more than 1,800 there as there was fair bit of space on your side.Drogheda are lying and cheating of course ! and your obviously the worst judge of a crowd size ever
Officially
54,321 sold - wws will never die - ***

1120 is those who paid in. That excludes the season ticket holders. The stand was close to full approx 1220 (few empty seats at the front of Block D & E)with about 150 standing at either side.
about 1370 there with about 300 Rovers fans.
Sligo Rovers -V- Bray Wanderers: 2,500.
yeah about 1500 kids bused in to fill the seats!!
Source? Or if it's a guess then say it.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Whith new turnstiles they can get a very close estimate of the crowd. I asked an official on my way out and he said it was 2,500.
Think about it and he is right.
Red stand = full bar the odd seat hear or there say less 50, and the wooden bench up the back was empty. Cap without wooden bench is 1,550. 1,550 - 50 = 1,500(Red stand).
Blue stand = Full up to the Bray fans section where maybe less 100 seats. Capacity 850 - 100 = 750(blue stand)
Standing around = Behind railway and Shed end altogether 300
1,500 + 750 + 300 = 2,550. Hence 2,500
good man, ive never seen them being recorded though
I would go with 2,000 at Dundalk v Cobh today - very impressive crowd up from Cobh for such a long journey
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), only Irish club to win a game / points in Europa League Group Stage (2016).
549 today for Shels v Harps. 746 for shels v Monaghan. Both official
It might happen more often if yer games wernt on a Thursday night!
Yawn!
wasnt bad alright was it, more than we all expected. Fair few young ****ed lads though, brings us bacj to the plastic cups, serving uunderage debate though so fook it. Point, think 2 teams would have taken it before hand.
