I don't think you need to look too far into the sands of times past to know why Shels continue to charge PD prices in the FD. Rovers did exactly the same when they went down. Has to be done.

Why should I have to pay PD prices to see MY team play as a away supporter. Charge your own fans what you like

What odds are you offering and what are you based your comparable data on, as I'll take this bet.

2,300 for Rovers -v- Cork. Bad weather hindered attendance. This is an estimate and I am open to correction.

I read somewhere else that the official attendance was 1700 ?

**Patrick Dunne** · 08/03/2009, 9:40 AM

1,700 as per extratime.ie.

That should read per Sligo Brewer

, deffo over 2,000 at it, main stand was totally full. We don't release official crowd figures.

**Inside Man** · 08/03/2009, 9:50 AM

To tell the truth it was never that low. Now I'm not getting into an arguement with people over a couple of hundred people as to be honest it doesn't matter a hoot to me but i assure you there was over 2,000 at the match as I was in around 7.55pm and was chatting to a mate at the turnstiles who told me there were 2,000 already through the turnstiles. Now i took an estimate and added 300 hundred to the figure as that would be my guess on what went through within the next 5mins. Red stand was full = 1,700 anyway. so that can be dissmissed because we had the jinks stand about 3/4 full.
On another note Cork had great support down. a good 200-300 from then. Great to see.

Most figures quoted above are round even figures:

Are they subjective guesstimates from individual supporters?

Official estimates?

Or hard actual attendances as reported by clubs to the FAI?

would seem high. it was a good crowd for kildare about 250 most id say. weather was unreal, gale force minus 10 wind lashing rain. kildare did what was required, ie score against the wind. Clever manager too in his player positioning and usage. Harps, in trouble me thinks

Where've you been the last seven years?

Almost all attendances ending in 0 are guesstimates.

**Kildare Lad** · 08/03/2009, 10:42 AM

Heard official attendance was 353 at Station Road last night. Good crowd considering the weather

**Philly** · 08/03/2009, 11:53 AM

Definately over 300 at the KCFC-Harps game. Lots of younger fans in the uncovered half of the main stand too. And plenty of fans got into the corporate box to watch the game.

Biggest home crowd in a good while, mainly ndue to the all-local side and lack of John Ryan from what I can see.

Except ours last night.
620 is the official paid-in figure.
Trying to find out if that includes season tickets or not, though looking at the crowd and the state of the weather I'd guess it does.

**Longfordian** · 08/03/2009, 2:27 PM

Around 600 at Longford-Mons I reckon. About 5 Monaghan fans I believe!. The atrocious weather in the run up to kick off would have kept a few away so not too bad a crowd. Entertaining game too.
