2009 attendances

[pineapple stu]

New season, new thread, same objections and quarrels, presumably.

This is how we finished up last season -

PREMIER DIVISION
Bohs - 1,993 (2007 - 1,924; 2006 - 1,463; 2005 - 1,976; 2004 - 2,340) (missing Cork 2)
Bray - 1,106 (1,200; 1,027; 1,550; 818 FD)
Cobh - 1,122 (681 FD; 368 FD; 403 FD; 240 FD)
Cork - 3,142 (2,897; 2,941; 3,644; 4,033)
Derry - 3,363 (2,614; 3,229; 2,698; 1,672) (missing Cobh 2)

Galway - 1,393 (2,199; 1,148 FD; 566 FD; 571 FD)
Pat's - 1,795 (1,910; 1,342; 1,599; 1,882) (missing Cork 2, Derry 2 and Galway 2)
Rovers - 1,468 (1,715; 1,089 FD; 1,539; 1,349)

UCD - 546 (663; 546; 653; 306 FD)

FIRST DIVISION
Athlone - 387 (670; 421; 316; 291)
Dundalk - 1,459 (1,406; 1,078; 474; 591)
Kildare - 241 (243; 265; 186; 298) (missing Monaghan 2, Fingal 2 and Waterford 2)
Limerick - 517 (670; 364; 669; 188)
Longford - 406 (885 PD; 681 PD; 1,004 PD; 1,131 PD)
Monaghan - 177 (292; 204; 183; 182) (missing Kildare 2, Waterford 2 and Wexford 2)
Shels - 986 (888; 1,690 PD; 1,949 PD; 2,158 PD)
Sporting Fingal - 688 (N/A) (missing Kildare (both), Waterford (both))
Waterford - 670 (1,181 PD; 915 PD; 1,513 PD; 1,753 PD)
Wexford - 767 (810)

Premier Division average - 1,746 (1,687; 1,535; 1,759; 1,853)
First Division average - 641 (722; 570; 520; 512)

Overall average - 1,221 (1,235; 1,070; 1,195; 1,218)

FD is an average crowd in the First Division; PD is an average crowd in the Premier Division. I've only put that in where the attendances was when the club was in a different one to their current division.

Hopefully we'll have a few more official, reliable figures this year; always seem to get one or two more clubs doing official figures each year.

[exiled_gufc_fan]

Mervue v Athlone

official attendance 650

[Rovers fan]

No way was there that many.









Just wanted to be the first:):)

[gufc2000]

He did say official. The new stand in Terryland is fairly full

[5ForKeeps]

Mervue v Athlone

Decent attendence for the first game in the LOI...

[Rovers fan]

I was messing..........................

623 attendence...

[gufc2000]

According to extratime.ie, official attendance was 623 at Terryland

[Rovers fan]

Moohahaha;)

[wonder88]

Offical attendance announced 650, my own estimate would be 450, about 45 from Atlone.

[gufc2000]

Any officiall att. from Oriel. Would say about 3000 from watching TV

[Terry]

Galway Bay FM had a guess of around 2000 at Pats -v- GUFC

[passinginterest]

1077 at Tolka if I remember correctly.

[dublinwanderer]

Bray v Rovers,

my guess is 2,500.
about 1,200 Rovers fans,best away support in the league.

according to extratime.ie 2500 at it, but rte.ie/sport has it down at a 'crowd of over 3000'.......

me personally would have said somewhere in the middle 2800

[SMorgan]

Any officiall att. from Oriel. Would say about 3000 from watching TV

There was 4,000 - 4,500 at Oriel Park. There was 3,800 at the Dundalk Celtic match on Sunday and there was certainly more at tonight's game.

[Gaillimh Al]

Apologies for the extratime attendance. Was my input but was extremely hard to hear what he was saying. A distinct mumble was all i could make out. heard 6 hundred and guessed the rest.
I will change to 650.

Done.

[gael353]

about 100 at at ucd limerick.

[oscar]

thats pretty poor,how many Limerick fans travelled?20-25

[gael353]

thats pretty poor,how many Limerick fans travelled?20-25

about 45 in total from limerick but it was a pretty cold night. shocking crowd. and it was free in for the students

[oscar]

thats shocking(for them not ye)
fair play to the Limerick fans for travelling

[Green&whitearmy]

ye very good rovers crowd at the game, they nearly filled the red seats, i'd say about 1600 rovers, i was told the tent was pretty full, 1000, and with another 200 squeezed behind the goal, so i'd say 2800 aswell.

[JC_GUFC]

Galway Bay FM had a guess of around 2000 at Pats -v- GUFC

Seems about right - knock one of the 0s off for their next home attendance given their performance!

Kenna must stay!

[pineapple stu]

about 100 at at ucd limerick.
200 min, maybe 250. The stand's bigger than you think.

[Schumi]

Can't believe a Limerick fan thought they had half the crowd. :confused:

[JW.]

I thought it was a decent enough crowd in Inchicore. They would have gotten less last season in a game against us and are clearly much worse now. Very encouraging Galway crowd as well.

[Inside Man]

200 min, maybe 250. The stand's bigger than you think.
:D:D:D

[holidaysong]

Approx. 4,200 at Dundalk vs. Bohemians. 3,600 paid in on the night with about another 600 season ticket holders.

[passinginterest]

Were most matches all ticket? Youths-Shels was, had to buy a ticketmaster ticket from the ticket office before going to the turn styles. If everyone is doing this official figures should be available for all games.

[niallsparky]

I'd say that sounds about right. Dundalk's support was fairly impressive.

I'm pretty sure ALL matches are supposed to be all ticket. I know I was at Shels vs. Fingal last year when the lights went out. As they hadn't given out ticket stubs they had to pay out €15 to everyone who wanted a refund as they had no way of proving if they'd only paid €5 or €10 in. They've learnt their lesson I see.

[Cormac]

Around 3,000 at Derry V Drogs last night!

On that subject, €15 for adult and €10 for student is a shocking price for a 1st Division match. Anyway, I'd say at least 75 Youths supporters there

[citybone]

Bray v Rovers,

my guess is 2,500.
about 1,200 Rovers fans,best away support in the league.

i know, fair play to them for travelling all the way to bray from tallaght it must take some effort:rolleyes:

[Candystripe]

Around 3,000 at Derry V Drogs last night!

3,100 and that is actually official. :eek:

I'm not sure if we will get official figures for the whole season but that figure is from the Derry city directors.


A very good away support as well from the Drogs....maybe 150.

[Maynard]

Official attendance from Tolka was indeed 1,077.

I don't think you need to look too far into the sands of times past to know why Shels continue to charge PD prices in the FD. Rovers did exactly the same when they went down. Has to be done.

[Dunny]

Estimated 4,500 on Dundalkfc.com.

[Dalymountrower]

Estimated 4,500 on Dundalkfc.com.


Is that estimate arrived at, with or without your scanner ?

[SkStu]

Is that estimate arrived at, with or without your scanner ?

brilliant :D

[dannydundalk]

we had 4,500 at home versus bohs

[Dunny]

brilliant :D

It would be, if I actually owned it...;)

[blue til i die]

620 at our match i heard.

[trevy]

Yeah that sounds about right blue til I die. Terrible weather at the game!

[pineapple stu]

250 mentioned on the Harps forum for Kildare v Harps.

Why should I have to pay PD prices to see MY team play as a away supporter. Charge your own fans what you like

[steno]

250 mentioned on the Harps forum for Kildare v Harps.

325 was what I was told

[The Lep]

620 at our match i heard.

I would have guessed between that and 730, didnt here any announcment though.

[MariborKev]

Im tellin ye! we'll have a lot better crowds this year average attendance at the end of the year will be a serious increase on last year

What odds are you offering and what are you based your comparable data on, as I'll take this bet.

[Inside Man]

2,300 for Rovers -v- Cork. Bad weather hindered attendance. This is an estimate and I am open to correction.

[Terry]

2,300 for Rovers -v- Cork. Bad weather hindered attendance. This is an estimate and I am open to correction.

I read somewhere else that the official attendance was 1700 ?

[Patrick Dunne]

1,700 as per extratime.ie.
