2008 attendances

[WindmillWarrior]

Restricted capacity in United Park is now 3,000 with the new barriers put in the home terrace. With that I reckon there was 2,500ish at yesterdays sh*te.

[Martinho II]

from best estimates there was a huge turnout of home support for our game.. I could be wrong but I thought that at least 1000 people at our game last night..

If I am wrong please correct me or Longfordian(whos in the know) what was the off attendance from our game?

[Seagull-4-life]

The official crowd at bray-cork was 4,271 I think

[showgies]

And how is that relevant? Or true?

Typical fecking petty arguements about tiny crowds.

Your original comment came across as petty and sarcastic - Black eye for a black eye, chipped tooth for a chipped tooth

[micls]

4,791

[Stato]

The star gave the crowd at 3,700

Laughable guesstimate IMO

I guessed it was closer to 2,500. The stand wasn't full, the shed was closed, as was the new stand for most of the game. Nothing on the Pats website yet, they were quick at posting them at the early part of last season but got a bit slower later in the season.

They haven't updated the main page yet. I know the people invoved and they will put up the official attendance. I'd agree with your estimate. I was just pointing out the ridiculousness regarding people making guesses about the crowd

Yet you are guessing the Sligo crowd.

[Sunny Jim]

Official attendance in Wexford was 1,826 paying customers plus season ticket holders, bringing it up to about 1,900 - 1,950.

Yes, yes I am

[Rovers fan]

Yes, yes I am

well then that makes you ridiculous i suppose

[swano]

Why are the majority of Sligo fans on here so insistent on getting involved in tit for tat arguements the whole time? It's tedious as **** having to trawl through all the posts to get to the ones that actually have some relevance.

Very impressive Derry away crowd from the reports and also encouraging to see nearly 2000 at the Wexford game.

The Kenny factor was a boost for the travelling support, and over 1300+ already sold for Windsor tomorrow night.

Dunno what the official attendance was but it wasn't up on 1000, about 650-700 at a rough guess.

[L37Ultra]

My guess for the Monaghan- Limerick game was about 120-150. Extremely poor. About 25 of those were Limerick fans

[stann]

...and also encouraging to see nearly 2000 at the Wexford game.

Would be great to see it continue alright but with the first game/first time ground for Blues fans/just down the road factors all in play the figure was always going to be way higher than normal. Somewhere about 700 away fans there I think. Will be interesting to see what Wexford get for the next home match, hope the figures stay up. No excuses for the home fans, it's a hugely impressive set-up down there, a great place to watch a game of ball.

[Blanchflower]

The semi official, semi guessed thread on here that half the media treated as gospel...

Disappointing.

In that case shave 20 or 30% off the figures as people always overestimate crowds.

Thanks for the positive feedback, but I would have to question 700 away fans there. The whole stand only holds 600 and WD had a quarter of that with others scattered around the side of the pitch. I'd say 300 in total. Kildare up next and you're right, that'll tell us what we should expect as typical

[Sam_Heggy]

Jeez, half of this thread could be deleted, and for the record, there was 15,000 at Finn Park on friday night and only 2 of them were from Cobh.

[eamo1]

attendances were up 30% for last seasons first week compared to the same figure the previous year.i wonder will they be up again this year.i doubt it as there was lot of derbies last season that boosted attendances in the first week.
