2010 attendances

[Dalymountrower]

Could there be a situation where Shamrock Rovers are the attraction in every single team's biggest gate of the season in the Premier Division this year?

Obviously it'll depend on what's to play for in the final round of games, but thanks to the huge Rovers travelling contingent, the Leinster based nature of the league and things like the poor Dundalk v. Drogheda crowd earlier in the season, right now I'd guess that Sligo, Pats, Galway and Fingal all had their biggest gates against Rovers? Obviously that's just going off the top of my head from what I can remember (I wasn't at the Drogs game) but it couldn't have been far off.

Biggest crowd Fingal have got this season is v Bohs. (their record league crowd!!)

[pineapple stu]

1500 or so at Dalyer for Bohs-UCD. Stand was about half full when I walked along it.

[bullit]

in fairness oriel you are Quoteing last years numbers!
bohs this year?
pats?
drogs?
the others fade,fingal,galway agus bray dont get even get on the scale.same all around numbers are way down.and live ,dundalk v sh.rovers does not help

[Sam_Heggy]

557 at Harps v Cork in Finn Park

[Lamper.sffc]

Biggest crowd Fingal have got this season is v Bohs. (their record league crowd!!)

Yeah. The bohs game was the biggest crowd alright. Closely followed by Shamrock Rvs and Dundalk

[GalwayRed]

554 at Shels-Mervue.

[oriel]

It also doesnt help when you dont have Derry and Cork visiting twice this year, away crowds do appear to be down this year for us, but thats not something you need to be depending on, clubs need to build and maintain their own crowds. Do whatever it takes to get the punters in.

Monday should see us attract over 3,000 but it will be back to around 2,000 or so for the visits of Galway and Sligo later in the month. The consistency level is just awful in this league compared to the wonderful supported clubs in Lge 2 in UK for eg, playing at a similar standard, clubs who never move above 15th for eg, will be guaranteed 3 and 4k per week.

Now thats proper support.

[Candystripe]

I'm guessing Harps will bring the biggest number of away fans to any ground this tuesday.

Now I'm away to Salthill.

[Darkglasses]

Quite an alarming slide in crowds for Wexford

Certainly is! We've been playing on Sunday afternoons as an experiment, a bit catastrophic frankly. We've switched back to Friday nights now, from last night (Athlone) onwards. Even though the total attendance was lower, there was probably more home fans at the match last night compared to when Derry visited the week before last.

[CSFShels]

I'm guessing Harps will bring the biggest number of away fans to any ground this tuesday.

Now I'm away to Salthill.
I'd wager Pats will beat them to that.

[De Town]

150 max at Town v Waterford. Hopefully the result and decent performance might attract a few more on Tuesday night.

[Ciaran W]

How many at salthill-derry ?

[Sam_Heggy]

I'd wager Pats will beat them to that.

How many do you think Pats will bring to UCD?

[MariborKev]

How many at salthill-derry ?

200 ish with about 150 from Derry.

[pineapple stu]

1500 or so at Dalyer for Bohs-UCD. Stand was about half full when I walked along it.
1359 in the Irish Times, which I'd say is official.

Also gives 350 Bray v Galway, 1650 Drogheda v Dundalk and 3400 Pat's v Rovers.

[red bellied]

Around 1700 in the Showgrounds for Fingal.

[sligoman]

Considering I want to go to 2 games next week as well - so that's 30 quid straight off the bat for tickets.Tell them you're a student(unless yer coming to the Showgrounds;)), very few clubs bother to ask for ID.

[Captain2007]

1359 in the Irish Times, which I'd say is official.

Also gives 350 Bray v Galway, 1650 Drogheda v Dundalk and 3400 Pat's v Rovers.

At the Bray game,they must have included in the official attendance the Players, staff & match Officials, oh and the Garda and his bike! Max. 250 attendance....

[bennocelt]

I am over 30!!:D

[Acornvilla]

I am over 30!!:D

theres a guy in college (yay i learnt how to spell it) with me, he is almost 60, no excuses! :)

[sligoman]

I am over 30!!:DTry it, you'll be surprised...

[fionnsci]

I'd say 850ish at Pat's-UCD about 500 from Pat's.

[bennocelt]

Try it, you'll be surprised...


Ok Sligo man will def try it this friday then..........................wish me luck

[D.24saint]

I'd say 850ish at Pat's-UCD about 500 from Pat's


sounds a bit high for me maybe the UCDs lads will have the official figure tomorrow

[fionnsci]

Perhaps on the high side but I'd certainly say that the stand was over half full and that holds 1,500. Anyway, we shall see.

[Lamper.sffc]

Official figure according to Extratime was 643.

[fionnsci]

My eyes must be playing tricks on me!

[corkharps]

I'd wager Pats will beat them to that.

Stop tempting them with bets! They are shinny new non betting people!

BTW I wouldn't expect too many Harps supporters!

[bullit]

3,500 @ oriel last evening i wil dare to say

edit
i have just seen the official figure was given as 3,200 but im sticking with my numbers
3,500

[pineapple stu]

My eyes must be playing tricks on me!
Don't think so. I reckoned there were 800 or so last night as well; don't know where 643 came from. But it is official, so I'll be using it here.

[GalwayRed]

457 at Limerick-Shels. About 40-50 reds in attendence.

[Sam_Heggy]

I would be surprised if we didn't bring 500 to the Randysmell tonight.

There is alot of folks from the area intending on heading in, ones that wouldn't normally head into Finn Park on a regular basis. I know of one guy who has a car load going in, none of his passengers have been at a Harps game since 2008.
I also have mates asking for a lift even though I couldn't drag them to a normal Harps match.

[Candystripe]

I would agree with Sam!!!!!!

Even for N.W. cup games etc,Harps have always brought big crowds to the Brandywell.There are so many Harps P/T supporters who live a lot closer to Derry than ballybofey.They also get a "real match" atmosphere feeling here as well although they are always spread out in every part of the ground so it's more difficult to know how many are there unless you's actually manage to score.

So for a league game I would expect at least 500+ and after the mauling we gave to Salthill at the weekend the biggest home attendance of the season by a country mile even though there is a non event happening in Glasgow at the same KO time.

[Ciaran W]

592 at fingal-bray

[Ciaran W]

Any attendance from derry-harps ?

[Mr A]

I heard around 2500, and 4-5000, so hard to say!

[Paddyfield]

925 at Galway United v Sligo

[razor]

884 at Cork City v Salthill Devon

[Sam_Heggy]

I would say about 3000 at Derry-Harps

Hard to know how many Harps fans were there, we filled section A and half of Section B and had a good few around the terraces too. First half was a cracking atmosphere.

[harps1954]

I'd agree with this. I thought about 2,500 to be honest and a post on the Derry forum suggested the same figure. Certainly no more than 2,500 - 3,000. Still a great crowd, although a bit disappointing considering the previous attendances when these clubs met.

[blue til i die]

335 Waterford v Athlone :(

[pineapple stu]

884 at Cork City v Salthill Devon
Jayz - is that cos it was a Tuesday, or is your form beginning to take its toll already?

I'll wait see if any of the Derry lads has an official figure before doing an update.

Pat's have put a couple of attendances on their site (http://www.stpatsfc.com/attendances.php?id=81&comp=league); I assume they're official, so I'll replace the other figures we had with them. We had 1207 for Drogheda, 1900 for Sligo and 3400 for Rovers.

[micls]

I dont think form has much to do with it although obviously we'd get higher if we were top of the league :D

Tuesday combined with no one seeming to know who Salthill Devon are.

Weekday games have always killed us, for some reason people just wont come out, should be back up/over 2000 for the Derry game but the League cup game next Tuesday will be poor again.

[razor]

Tuesday combined with no one seeming to know who Salthill Devon are. Plus Ireland v England on the telly and some game in Scotland.

Probably no harm to get a game against the likes of Salthill out of the way on a tuesday and save the Derry game for a Friday night.
I reckon we could do 3-4000 on Friday week.

[Onefootednopace]

.

Aside from the fact it was a school night and also the unknown quantity that is Salthill Devon, there were numerous games fixed for last night in the various leagues across the city and county.

Big Cricket following among the For a Scoop massive?

[Roo69]

592 at fingal-bray

Not a ****ing chance there was that many there ! even including the Gardai, Fire Brigade, Match stewards there wasn't that many there

Max of 300 there last night. The main stand holds about 500-600 i'd say, wasn't close to being full and there was only about 30/40 people standing

[pineapple stu]

Big Cricket following among the For a Scoop massive?

I was wondering what the hell that was about.

Do people in Cork enjoy watching rain? Bit of a novelty in the sunny south east?

[razor]

Big Cricket following among the For a Scoop massive?I know i'm not alone, was hoping for some rain so I'd get our innings when i got home.

Do people in Cork enjoy watching rain? Bit of a novelty in the sunny south east?The way the game was going at times last night, it would have been refreshing. :D

[Candystripe]

Derry V Harps 2,583

Very surprised at how low that was!
