I think the schools point is a really good one.

I know Rovers now have Graham Gartland working in a community role so I'd be hoping that working in schools will help to drive the next generation of fans.

For me, although I would class myself anything but a die-hard, the reason I started following Rovers as a kid was partly because they were successful and on TV a lot I suppose, but more so down to the fact that they used to come to my home town during the annual festival to play a 7-a-side exhibition on the beach so I had some sort of connection.

Must have been all the green and white hoops ....

Week 4

Pats v Harps - 895
Bray v Drogs - 638
Derry v Dundalk - 1550

Cork v Sligo Rovers - 2,722

Limerick V Bohs - 1,760 (apparently didn't scan some tickets, could be 2k+)

Shams V Galway - 1051

If first division figures come out I`ll put them up.

Beyond depressing looking at that

Remember we were sold out and at capacity. We'd usually doubled that for such a game in brandywell

"Not one cent" - RTID on Mark Quigley's pay-off from Shamrock

Week 3 was on at the same time as the Ireland wales Rugby

Week 4 was on a Monday night and collided with Chelsea vs United

We are a bandwagon nation and things like this dramatically affect attendances but I think the crowds will grow from here on

There's no point being the richest man in the graveyard

Good chance there will be 7k at City's next home game so I wouldn't be too worried. Historically speaking that's a good crowd for a Monday night not even factoring in the FA Cup game. Doesn't mean we should pat ourselves on the back or anything but hardly a disaster either.

If that's a good crowd, I`d hate to see a bad one!

Picking out the meeting between the top 2 sides and praising the fact there`ll be a big crowd at it is pure nonsense. Its the top 2 sides who will most likely be fighting it out for the title, if the crowd wasn't healthy then just forget about it.

There`s a couple of games this weekend in the PD that I can see struggling to break 1k.

Its poor in the 3 rd/ 4th week of the league even if you tar it with the old "a good LOI crowd" crap.

You couldn't sell out a derby on the second night of the season ffs. Put the rod away. LOL

here fishy fishy

Week 5

Dundalk v Pats - 2,675

Limerick v Harps - 1,186

Bohs V Galway - 1,137

Shams V Cork - 3,045

Sligo Rovers V Bray - 1,387

Derry V Drogheda - 1500 (couldn't find a figure but I'm going to assume in their current form they sold out or near enough)

Cobh V Athlone - 400 (estimate)

Shels V Waterford - 422

FD figures are hard to come by as unlike the PD clubs they tend not to report their attendances so you get the likes of extra time putting up estimates which are usually generous. I`d assume the rest are anywhere from 50-400.

Work is restarting on our new stadium in the next few months...Better news again that there is going to be terracing behind either goal. Due to be completed for 2019 season. Let's hope we can finally get there!

Not trying to piss on your parade, but how many times has work "restarted" at this stage?

I`ll believe it when I see it.
