Per capita, Cobh are probably the best supported club in the league. Approx 5% of the population of the town attended the Derry City match (Cobh and environs = 13,000, as per Wikipedia).
The attendance figures of clubs like Sligo, Cobh, Longford etc, are quite decent, when you consider their relatively small catchment area.
In contrast, approx 1% of the population of Galway City go to United home matches this season, and 0.5% of the population of Galway County. Cities/counties like Limerick and Waterford also have very low percentage levels of support for their teams.

A large potrion of those are City fans too though not from the Cobh area
from readin todays longford leader we had a shockin crowd of 250 people on sat nite..
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
435 was the figure mentioned in match report in yesterdays Munster Express. I wasn't there and don't know if it includes season tickets holders or not.
No, it doesn't. Neither did the last one though, so it's 15 up on last week!

HAHA!!!!
Thats fecking great,, needed a laugh
Half that and you might be closer to the truth.
Your stand is supposed to hold 600 and wasn't near full.
John Delaney!! GET OUT!!!
www.ssdg.ie
the old stand at the rsc holds 1250! looked only a third full with bout 400 in it is what I thought! id of thought about 400 in the new stand tho its like impossible to guess correctly!
The stand holds 607 and was nearly full. I'd say at least 550. Add to that approx 200 around the pitch and then a large number (for which you have to have a match ticket) viewing from the clubhouse. We can't help it if we have so many options on watching our matchesHAHA!!!!

Ya I would have estimated between 700-800 attendance at Waterford-Limerick.
For all the latest League of Ireland news visit www.extratime.ie
yeah, but you have to add in the 12 auld fellas in the bar and 20 guys on the astro who stay on after
GUFC v Athlone Town FAI Cup
Attendance was 700 on a miserable night weatherwise.
Are you sure you counted yourself?
At Monagham, more cows than people watch the matches!!

newstalk, dundalk fm and LMFM also agreed on this estimate. decent crowdaccording to dfc.com dundalk v waterford attendance was 2000 approx.
