We dont?
Can you not read your own figures or something?
You have Cork at under 4,000 and Derry at 4,500!
We also have the biggest attendance this year.

Having sold over 2000 season tickets, I'd say we have a good start.
I have often wondered about that. Rovers always bring 300+ fans to Galway but they only get a relatively small home gate. It's bizarre.
Approx 350 to 400 at Sligo v Galway in League cup.
400 i think there was more than that? 17 from Galway they were easy to count
A bit less than that I'd say. More like 1,700.
Drogs v Bohs - wasn't at the game myself but I was told a figure of around 2,500 would be about right.
There was more than that.Counting,once again,proves to be a challenge for the Sligo lads.400 i think there was more than that? 17 from Galway they were easy to count

I would say they would tbh considering we had the same home gates when we were fightinh relegation as we have now ,for some bizarre reasoni stand corrected.
in the last 2 years drogs have indeed brought good crowds with them.
one question tho . if you dont retain the league,will they still turn up next season ndrog ? forgive my pessimism but alls not well in hoopland at present*
* tho the builders preparing to go back on site in tallaght
Limited capacity surely responsible for a lot of it ?I would say they would tbh considering we had the same home gates when we were fightinh relegation as we have now ,for some bizarre reason
Will United Park remain so restricted until you leave the place ? If so, it'll really clip Dogheda's wings - you'll have potential supporters drawn-in by the biggest games not being able to access you at all, and occassional ones not being able to increase their visits. All of which will impact your income now, and your support base in-future.
More to do with the lack of facilities. Not very family friendly etc
That's rich coming from you when one of your own fans says this a few posts up
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
17 Galways fans in showgrounds last night i counted them shame as you would have had enough for a mini bus after all.
In fairness, there was more of them that that. I counted 27.

I taught there was at least 40,they travel in numbers these days

Both boosted because you've had Harps at home. You'll drop behind them after a few more games. You've only been higher than Cork once in five previous years we've done this thread.
Course you do. Never said otherwise. But you can't claim to be the best supported club on the basis of "3000 there last night, I'd say". There's plenty of guesstimates here that are way off, and shouldn't be compared. That's all.

i think there was more like 800.
it was wonder88( a galway fan who guesstimated 350-400)
you would want to give your own supporters a counting lesson
There were only 4 GUFC fans in Sligo according to the SligoI taught there was at least 40,they travel in numbers these days
section of foot.ie. Can we leave it a that?
PS Thanks for our 40% chunk of the gate receipts.
Official crowd last night was 240
If it's the money you are most interested in - you better wish for another away draw in the next round
