Quote348 at Athlone Town vs Monaghan for our FARE week equality in the workplace night promoting friendship and integration through sport and the players try and kill one another
Last year the attendance against ye at home was 3700.Originally Posted by sligoman
Our Cup Semi on Sunday week should have 4000-5000 there.
I've been in Terryland where there's been 6500-7000 there.Games against Pats/Harps spring to mind.
Believe it or not Sligoman I know more about our potential crowds than you.

"Cause Galway are MASSIVE"-RW Rover on 24/8/07 00:29am
just to show what we're up against. In limerick on friday night, a CLUB rugby match between Garryowen and Shannon had just under 4000 at it. Our main sponsor Live95 fm gave it full comentary as Limerick thumped waterford 5 1.
What are capacities of the other stands?
"If you don't work harder I'll pull you off at halftime,"
“Crikey, at Manchester City all we get is an orange and a cup of tea,"
Shed has 1485 seats
Connaught street has 3720 seats
Believe it or not Sligoman I know more about our potential crowds than you.....dont say that Conor!
Sligoman....knows....all!
3,700 is the new 4,000+ is it?
and as for the other game, you're speaking of a game in the future, can't use that as a game that had 4,000+ when it hasn't been on yet
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Would say about 900 at the Cobh-UCD game. Main stand was a bit under half full (400 say), 150 behind the far goal, 300 in the terrace and 30 in the other stand. About 20 from UCD, including our A team, who suddenly had a free afternoon.
He said 4,000+ for big games against good opposition hence less than 4,000 for a game against Sligo Rovers3,700 is the new 4,000+ is it?

Seriously though, I have been to games in Sligo and Limerick (City) where there when crowds were over 5,000. This was in the mid to late 80's when facilities were far worse than they are now.
Nobody knows us, we don't care
Didn't Limerick (City) play a Cup game infront of like 8,000 in late 80s up there??He said 4,000+ for big games against good opposition hence less than 4,000 for a game against Sligo Rovers

Vague, vague memories.
Different times aswell though, attendances in general are gone to $hite.
Still, recession will help
He's also failed to give one example of a 4,000+ crowd.He said 4,000+ for big games against good opposition hence less than 4,000 for a game against Sligo Rovers
The ball is round and has many surprises.
Of course you're right he failed to give one example of a 4,000+ crowd.
He gave two!
