What's the Connaught hold?

Would say maybe 2500 in the Jodi (was in Block B, so didn't see all of it obviously, but it was reasonably full down that end, which is usually the emptier), no-one in the Des Kelly or the condemned end and a good crowd (I thought 1000, but without knowing what it holds) in the Connaught.

We had more than 1,000.... Connaught holds 3600 apparently.
4,200 sounds about right.

The impact of all the recent bad financial press perhaps ?

Plus the fact we're slipping down the table.

Around 250 from Sligo I'd say, maybe a bit more. Jay wasn't playing so doubt there was any scouts! ;)

What's the rolleyes about?

It was torrential rain and the game shouldnt have gone ahead. Even people at the ground thought it would be called off.

The people who cared about City, the real City fans were there last night, who cares about the rest of them?

Great atmosphere made by the people who care.

btw, we apparently sold over 4000 tickets. That said I know people who bought 5 or 6 just to put money into the club during the week

Maybe it looked better because everyone got under the shelter due to the rain, but yeah you're probably right.

What's your problem?

Eh problem? No problem here biy.

I thought there would be more of a crowd at it tbh, and so did a lot of City fans. This is the "best supported team in the LOI" after all. And the "great sporting public of Cork".

Not having a go or anything, just thought it might attract a few more since it could have been CCFC's last game.

i think people just expected about 2000 more as everyone knows the crowds cork are capable of getting and it was real hour of need stuff

There was 50 around the ground anyway. Was in the main stand, so it was hard to see what was in it exactly.

There was about 420 there we made it. genuinely don't know where ET got that 286 figure, but they must have got it from someone.
That's usually the paid-in total that some at the club insist on releasing as the official attendance, but for this match the paid-in was up towards 350.
An awful shame to be arguing over such paltry figures though.

no way was there that many. 150 IMO, 180 max. They only just half filled there allocation which is 300.

Even though it was a poor crowd, just scrapping the 1000 mark, it was probably up on other matches that are scheduled during race week, which usually only hit the 6-700 mark.

As established before, I have ahem...difficulties guessing crowd figures, however, Tallagh must have been pretty close to sold out yesterday? There was certainly a long queue for tickets when we were going in and the main stand looked pretty full.

It sold out, apparently the last few in the queue got turned away. I'd say the third biggest crowd this year, just behind the first game and the Bohs game.

That's what it said on MNS alright.

There were spare seats in the City end, but I guess Rovers keep strict segregation (is it a requirement to have a clearly segregated section ?).

New stand will apparently be ready for visit of Dundalk later this month, so will be good to see how many they can get when there isn't such a small limit.

Not a requirement, and when pats where there there was no real segregation at all.

It rained non stop all day Friday. The match mightn't have gone ahead for 2 reasons:
1. The club was history
2. the pitch was unplayable

On the way to the match I thought we'd do well to get over 3K

No real segregation at our match on Sunday. Rovers fans sitting side by side with Derry fans and although there was an announcement that Derry fans would have to wiat 10 mins after the game, it wasn't enforced.

They must have been formally doing some type of segregation though, as there were noticably a lot of empty seats at the away end.

Not in reality. We just went to the left hand side (Block A?) as usual, but there were Rovers fans right beside us.
Loads of spare seats about though. They should have sold those seats and even asked us to move to one big group rather than leaving people outside.

The match was sold out, the reason for the empty seats around the Derry fans is because (a) some fans buy tickets for the stand but stand behind the goal (b) at the other end of the stand from the Derry supporters is the singing section where Rovers fans congregate and don't sit thus more people can be acomadated there and (c) we have over 2,000 season ticket holders and not every one of them attends every game. Those are the reasons why even though the match is sold out there are empty seats. On H&S grounds we won't sell the seats 'twice'.

We had about 200-250, not as many as the last time we played Pats, think it was because alot are back from Holiers, cant afford it, bank holiday weekend etc etc! Either way Pats where at home and their crowd was pathetic!

Officially 1,156. Typical sunday night crowd though. Ah well

Id say their second biggest crowd was against us, we have brought the most away fans to Tallaght so far

That's the one game I've missed so far so you're probably right.

some fans buy tickets for the stand but stand behind the goalAre you not allowed to sell tickets to stand behind the goal? It seems a bit strange that people have to buy a seat in the stand to watch the game from there. There doesn't seem to be any issue with people standing there either.

Don't think they can sell tickets for there as it couldn't be classed as a terrace or anything. I've ended up standing there myself for a couple of games, it's a decent view and you get the full atmosphere as you can hear both sets of fans singing. I think people just end up there after going to the chipper or whatever and don't bother going back to seats, that or they come in late and can't find a bunch of seats together.

It's no worse than the standing areas in Monaghan, Bray or Waterford though. I assume Monaghan's capacity isn't the 400 or so seats they have in the stand.

True enough, hadn't really thought about that, then again SDCC have been know to be very concerned about "health and safety" issues.
