Disagree with ya there...we had a few 2,000 or near on 2,000 this season..

Do you understand the meaning of the work "average"?

Which type of average?

As in, having a few crowds close to 2000 means your average is likely to be nearer 1500 than 1900.

Trust you to to get involved. Never mind that biggot Rovers Fan. He is talking nonsense. Your the fella who when fans post their estimations of the matchs even when there may be five who say 1,400 and one ejit like Rovers Fan to say 900 you chose 1,000 as the figure. Where is your bloody averge there?

I was pointing out bad maths. You've agreed, yet you "get involved" anyway for some reason, even though I never commented on Sligo's attendances.

(Though for the record, I think they're too high)

, classic how you think our attendances are too high when you've been to the Showgrounds once this season.

I think most fan guesstimates are too high. Don't take it personally.

Lowest league ATT at the Brandywell this season.Around the 1,700 mark.

Obviously even some season ticket holders couldn't make a sunday night game!!!

Yeah, it was a bit muted alright. I think a combination of trip to Galway/upcoming cup final/Halloween weekend spending/fairly meaningless game/F1 conclusion kept a few of the more 'casual' fans away. I imagine the Cobh game will be much the same.

Athlone Town vs Wexford Youths official attendance 273

It's hard for fans of any club bar the bottom 4 to be excited about the remaining league games to be fair.

Though cracking ending to the league re relegation !

I would have thought much less than 1700 in the randywell.
About 20 Galway fans and 20 Harps fans there

Hold on a minute there now! Drogs supporters have jumped to the rescue of the club on numerous occassions throughout our history. Just last wednesday night between 400 and 500 supporters turned up to an emergency meeting held about the state of the club and the setting up of a trust. Yes the general people of the town don't support the club as much as they should, but that can be said for every LOI club in the country!

As for the crowds of well below 500? What do you expect when we finished 2nd from bottom of the 1st division that year!!

A bit harsh! Dundalk fans seem to be getting on their high horses recently about attendances. Looking back through this thread the average attendance for Dundalk was just under 500 three seasons ago so saying drogs fans are well known for deserting their club is a bit hypocritical

add about another 10 on to that now and it might be a bit more accurate. stil a poor turnout but travelling half the length of the country on a sunday night (after the halloween weekend) was just too much for a lot of fans

The explanation for that was that we had the pitch debacle so Dundalk plyed their home in the KCP and United Park. even the most dedicated supporters have their limits

300-400 people to turn up to save their club is a very very low figure. Considering their gates this season is close to 1800. Would of expected at least a thousand.

Drogheda don't mind they have their one league and one cup so they'll be happy to going back to proping up the league in 2 years

How low is it Jinxy? Cork didn't have much over 100 for a similar meeting when they went into examinership. Their trust has something like 200/250 members and look what they have achieved.
D*ndalk fans, heads out of a*ses please!

For a club on its knees I'd of expected more locals to attend.
I thought the general drogheda public would care more for their hometown club and be interested in what Mr. Hoey had to say and to question some of the decision made by Mr. Hoey and the other 2 (not being disrespectful just can't remember their names) and to ask a far reaching question in why after spending 12m over 4 years can they not spend .5m to the revenue? Doesn't make sense and before you attack me and other dundalk fans to wish ill on drogheda we don't, louth needs two clubs.

In fairness there is other threads on all that Jinxy!
