2010 attendances

[Dodge]

I wonder!!!

Members and ST holders don't even enter through a turnstile anymore and aren't recorded.

Clear breach of licensing there.

[marinobohs]

probably because we had a game on Saturday though im not sure...

Going by reports and the fact that the Jodi holds 2750 id imagine there was around 2600 at the game.

Yea apparently (NOT official from the club) Linfield did not want to play the SETANTA Cup game on Good Friday so we kicked off at 12.30 (determined by Gardai) on Sat thus clashing with big EPL game and our Monday match (V St Pats) was deferred to Tuesday night (clashing with CL game). Decent crowds at both games but cant help feeling oppurtunities missed to corral in a few "floating" fans.

[Dodge]

There's absolutely no way Setanta Sports would've wanted the game on Friday (and therefore clashing with its live coverage of Munster/Leinster). Not for viewers, but rather for their own resources etc. I think it was always due to be played in the Saturday and the garda enforced the early kick off

Sorry, thats wrong. Members enter through the officials door but membership numbers are taken and recorded (and have been at every match since this new arrangement was introduced). Dont know RE season tickets but defo what happens with members (cant see why it would be any different just dont know for sure). As pointed out this is a licencing requirement and the only alternative would be to issue a ticket to each person entering (as happened in previous seasons).

I'm not getting into a big discussion on here, but membership numbers are not recorded. Go in sometime when it's busy and you'll see. I've been waved through 3 times since the Fingal gate disaster.
If you don't want to believe me then fair enough, hardly something I'd make up, as I don't really like posting over here.
Don't know why they don't use the scanner!

fair enough BF not doubting your word I was only speaking from personal experience as well. guy on the door with clip board has checked my membership no and ticked it off on his list (maybe I just look suspicious :mad:)

[de bowez]

Not sure if they mark membership number but he definitely ticks the clipboard everytime someone shows a card.

[Sam_Heggy]

663 official crowd in Finn Park tonight against Wexford Youths.
Bloomin delighted with that considering we lost our last 2 games.

[Declanus]

Leinster match on telly at same time as Bohs & Rovers had to effect attendance tonight at the game in Tallaght. (flippin LUAS was runnin to Tallaght either), had to be a fix.

I don't think we'll be too upset with the crowd despite that Leinster game being on at the same time.

I wasn't even aware the egg-chasers were playing. Does it make me petty I'm so pleased about that?!!

[gufc2000]

821 the official att. in Terryland

[micls]

2192 the attendance for us.

1003 official at Waterford-Limerick

[gufcfan]

What was the actual attendance anyway? Officially or an estimate even.

[dong]

I was in the Carlisle grounds.
Very poor crowd there. I would say 150 at the most from Sligo and maybe twice that from Bray. 500 at the very most in total.

[bullit]

1900 dundalk
25 from ucd(them lads would do anything for a free pint)

[oriel]

Prob sounds about right, I`m sure official figure will come from club later today.

Where are the aisles of steps that are meant to be kept free? Oh wait, you mean the east stand was so full there were hundreds of people crammed together standing in the aisles? And what about the people standing behind the goal too? Do you think maybe just maybe that could explain the few hundred empty seats beside the Bohs fans in the main stand? Either that or it's all a big conspiracy from Rovers to artificially inflate crowd numbers for no obvious reason.

Extratime has an estimate of 300

[Green&whitearmy]

there was more then 500 hundred at the game, i'd say about 150 sligo fans alrite i'd say there was about 1000 at it, if everyone went into the covered stand it would have been full which holds 1000 seats, there was 3 rows of people in alot of places behind the goal, you could hardly walk past there.

[dong]

Nah.
I was being generous with 500. 1,000 my hole. Keep on deluding yourself.
And I went for a slash at one stage and had no bother getting by behind the goals.:D

are you talking to yourself or who is that actually addressing?

Health and Safety hazard there by the way - email of outrage sent to the FAI and campaign organised on facebook. Thanks for drawing my attention. ;)

Great attendance at our game again last night. That's better than some of the Premier Division crowds. It just
goes to show, that it would be a good thing if they covered at least one game on M.N.S. a week

One First Division game. That's what I meant, sorry.

It's not THAT impressive, especially for a side that has now won 6 games out of 6.

[oriel]

I think Sam and to be fair Waterfords crowds have been very disappointing since they left the PD some years ago , so if their fans are now seeing crowds over the 4 figure mark (just) I think they can happy. Big enough city though and I agree with 18/18 points on the board, they should be getting a lot more.

IM Jim - whats the maketting like down there for games ?

We now have a poster for each game on our website where fans can download and stick up in pubs/offices etc, might be an idea.

[holidaysong]

1776 is the official figure for Dundalk vs. UCD.

Yeah we do that aswell. We also have a supporters bus that comes from Co. Waterford. It stops in a fair few areas in
West Waterford, that brings in a few extra numbers. There is also a West Waterford Supporters Club which is
fantastic.

[Buller]

I was waiting for an official attendence but if you dont get one I'd put the Rovers-Bohs match at around 5,000. Would guess 3,000 in East Stand and maybe just under 2,000 in Main stand.

I think I saw 5,200 in The Irish Times.

[pineapple stu]

Updated with the 5,000 figure, thanks!

[kingdomkerry]

It was 5,100 in the star on saturday

[PartySaint]

1203 at Pats Drogs if i remember correctly

I don't think the east stand in Tallght holds 3,000. The main stand seats 3,048 afaik and the east stand seats c2,700.

[gufc2000]

One poster on the GUST forum reckons that there was 64 at Drom for Salthill vs Monaghan

[El-Pietro]

dont know if you are counting League Cup figures or not, but there were 645 at Turners Cross for Cork City v Wexford Youths

[pineapple stu]

They don't get counted, but feel free to post for interest's sake.

[stovelid]

and the east stand seats c2,700.

There is usually more than this for the big games as you get surplus people standing everywhere.

Do feel free to know more about the East Stand than supporters who watch every home game from there though.

[fionnsci]

Will do. (Rolls eyes.)

[Dodge]

Same supporters who claimed there was 3,300 at games last year when the capacity was 2,900?

[Riddickcule]

Yes, they would know best as it's their ground :rolleyes:

And the capacity of that stand is 3,000 at least.

[Dodge]

Its not their ground (Sorry Rovers, easy joke), and the official capacity is less than three thousand. I'm not getting into another stupid argument with you so don't bother replying.

[SkStu]

you are now guaranteed a reply ;)

[Acornvilla]

well sounds like the capacity is 2,900 but shams let more people into the area? potential health hazard anyone?

[hoops1]

Well the capacity is 6,000 so someone has it wrong

[Acornvilla]

6,000 could well be a rounded up figure thou

[hoops1]

The main stand holds 3,300 the east stand 2,700
