Me and the lads were discussing this last night. How many do you reckon we'll have in the ground on that eagerly anticipated Monday evening? Personally, I reckon we'll have in the region of 40,000 fans inside the ground.

Was it the Swedish fans that were trying to organise a march to Lansdowne the last time they played here but the garda wouldn't have it?

I'd be surprised if we don't outnumber them. 40-50k all going well

At least 40k although the number inside the ground would be higher were we not playing Sweden. They'll have a massive contingent at the Euro's.

I reckon if we were playing Italy in this ground we'd get 60-70k in there...huge number really considering our population

I remember hundreds of them doing a very impressive march past Slatterys that day alright, obviously ignored the guards...

You need to be more specific -
Are we counting bandwagoners? Plastic Paddys? The lads on here with multiple persona's? Do we count them as one or a multiples Edited by Zinedine Kilbane 110 - 22 Jan 2016 at 3:15pm |

I'd say the fact that we're playing Sweden might actually increase our numbers. Many neutrals that have tickets through the general portal, and many sponsors might not be that interested in this game. Meaning those tickets come onto the market and increase our numbers.
55k Irish is my estimate.

40-45k I'd say. 30k Swedes and 5-10k neutrals and locals.

That's right. There were some fine looking lassies among them too. Will we take as many as we did for the 0-0 draw with France about a decade ago. Some squad in Stade de France that night
