I think we had at least 50 fan away fans as not everyone in colours or standing. Fairly low still but not been a happy away fixture recently.

Crowd was even worse at last nights game against Derry, maybe about 400/500, think i counted 7 Derry fans

There were 7 or 8 Derry fans on the uncovered side and 20-25 of us in the covered stand directly behind the dugouts.

I think your overall estimate of 400-500 is on the money.

Certainly sounded like more than 7 when the City goal went in. Thought I could hear the drums from the TV coverage as well.

At least tents keep the rain out.

Bray v Rovers i would have said around 2500. great crowd at this even with the champions league on...

**passinginterest** · 19/10/2007, 12:06 PM

Wexford v Monaghan was 650 according to Wexford People.

**Green&whitearmy** · 19/10/2007, 9:31 PM

Bray v Galway tonight, poor crowd. I'd say about 800-900.

There was more then 700 at the Bray v Cork match, i would say it was near 1000 and about 900 against derry on monday aswell.

**John83** · 19/10/2007, 11:08 PM

420 at UCD-Longford.

Would have said 250 tops myself but you do know better.

About 50/50 split i'd say between the 2 sets of fans aswell.

**DmanDmythDledge** · 19/10/2007, 11:34 PM

That's official btw.

Great support from Longford tonight. Fair play.

I thought it sounded a little high myself (thought maybe 300-350), but I was told that was the official attendance.

**pineapple stu** · 20/10/2007, 12:38 AM

Yeah, official figure. Was about right too.

100 Town fans or so. Bit away from 50/50.

Crap game, but don't care. Next week's the big one.

**Dalymountrower** · 20/10/2007, 7:44 AM

Bohs v Galway (2) crowd of 1800 according to our MB

Who were they supporting then?

**Poor Student** · 20/10/2007, 10:18 AM

There was close to 50 students who availed of the free ticket offer in conjuction with the student card. Hard to visualise it but that's the record from the gate.

**gael353** · 20/10/2007, 1:14 PM

i think 370 was announced

**Stato** · 20/10/2007, 2:24 PM

Pats v Bohs - guessing 2,000:
Surprisingly low attendance, Monday night and live on tv probably the excuses. There were 570 in the away end, 1,430 home fans is probably a good guesstimate.

Pats v Rovers - guessing 2,750:
Away end just about full (it holds 957), main stand about two-thrds full (1200) and another 600 on the terraces.
