I would have guessed nearer to 4000 but obv the 3460 is correct.
Really great crowd considering our recent run of results and (no offence to UCD fans) that it was against UCD.
I cant ever recall there being such a big crowd at turners cross v ucd.
You could barely get a seat in the Shed.
Good atmosphere too. And thanks be to christ 3 pts at last

Poor crowd in Bray last night, Green stand was at most 3 quarter full, about 100 Harps fans there. I con't know how much the green stand holds but I say the crowd was around 1000 at most.

Open to correction, Bray fans should know their ground better.

Still didnt beat the 6800 at the derry v Finn Harps derby few weeks back. Thought there would have been more at the big dublin derby

In fairness I'd say there is a lot more going on in Dublin on a Friday night to compete for people's leisure time interests than there is in either Ballybofey or Derry.

the attendance in the star was 5,500...

Going on their previous record, I can say with confidence that anywhere between -12 and about 6.5x10^9 people attended so.

**Battery Rover** · 05/04/2008, 2:02 PM

Monaghan United vs Athlone Town attendance was around 90. I didn't have the time to count them

I'd almost believe that. Great crowd.

It was a cause of some comfort to me as I got drenched in the Ballybough End that your massive flag was kept nice and dry on those couple of hundred seats in the stand. What's the story with that?

Probably getting us back for putting them on the Connaught St every time.

True enough. Not a few ridiculous teenage hairdos were destroyed, so it wasn't all bad.

Was thinking about 3000-3500 at the game. Certainly one of the bigger crowds I've seen down there. 40 UCD fans too.

Think the new Shed has taken away from the atmosphere to an extent though.

Like what? Look at the population of Dublin compared to both Derry and Donegal combined.

Anyways, great to see crowds of 5000 and 3400 over the weekend, imo all good for the league, the higher the better.

Yeah thats about right. I was gonna post it as 900 or 950. Green stand holds something like 994 I think. I didn't get a good look at the stand - if it was only 3/4 full when it was lashing rain then there may have been less that 900 there
