Approximately 500 according to the Dundalkfc.com match report on the game.

**Dodge** · 08/10/2008, 1:00 PM

You'd be missing Rovers v Bray too, surely?

**Mr A** · 08/10/2008, 1:04 PM

About 1000 at Harps V Pats

Final figure was around 1200.

The was maybe 700 in the gate at the time the match started due to the time of kick off being changed.

Maybe 3,500 or so. Someone else should be able to give a more accurate figure.

**Marco** · 08/10/2008, 6:00 PM

Stu ... Cobh v Rovers attendance was 690, Cobh v Cork City was 1850 official, despite some tool letting in a ****e load for free the attendance should have been nearer 2500

Yes I would agree with that. A lot lower than I would have expected although we were already through.

An amazing atmosphere for those who did turn up. It didn't seem to come across on TV how loud it actually was.

The 1st clip you can hear it a little better plus it shows the Linfield fans in full flight!

Bout 150 approx at longford limerick with 40 up from Limerick

**oldyouth** · 12/10/2008, 9:20 AM

Just a guesstimate but I'd say that Friday V Dundalk was our lowest of the season. I'd say around 400. Miserable night (weatherwise)

**Inside Man** · 12/10/2008, 9:35 AM

2,100 for last nights game with Galway.
200-300 away fans which was very good traveling support. Fair play for a team bottom of the league.

**Battery Rover** · 12/10/2008, 10:51 AM

Athlone Town vs Shelbourne attendance 741.

You're biggest of the season?

Not 100% sure but it would be well up there. I know if you took out the freebies and season tickets it was the biggest of the season.

Many thanks to the Shels fans who drank our bar dry.

**LeixlipRed** · 12/10/2008, 11:49 AM

Many thanks to the Shels fans who made up about 90% of the crowd. How do you pay wages?

**LeixlipRed** · 12/10/2008, 11:51 AM

719 at Shels Monaghan btw.

**MariborKev** · 12/10/2008, 11:54 AM

400 at a push at the Derry v Bray game.

I tried counting but the rain was so heavy you couldn't see the other side of the pitch!

Not a bad guess official attendance was 360

WHAT!!!?

How much drink did you have on the way down!!!
i say there was between 800 and 900, the green stand holds 1000 and there was a good crowd in it and the muppets standing in the pi$$ing rain behind the goal and in the red seats.

For the bray v rovers match, i'd say about 500 or so, bout 60-70 from bray. Any rovers fan can say wat they think if im wrong.
