[osarusan]

Definitely less than 150 peering through the rain at Limerick and Waterford's reserve teams in the MSC last night.

how did this game go osarusan?

[Lim till i die]

how did this game go osarusan?

Waterford had a pretty comfortable 3-0 win against what was basically a mixture of our A's and 20's.

I feared the worst when I saw Waterford coming out to be honest.

[Sam_Heggy]

Limerick - Barcelona attendance was a bit sparce, but, myself, Fran Gavin and John Delaney walked around the market fields doing a head count. We reckon it was around 14,999.


Too soon?

[Paddyfield]

824 official figure Galway United versus UCD

[outspoken]

another atrocious crowd in Flancare tonight VS Monaghan id say just around 150 but can you blame them for not coming its bad really bad.

[oriel]

DLK FM reported a crowd of 1,700 for the Sligo game tonight.

[Dodge]

About 2,100 in Inchicore tonight apparently. Looked a little more but there you go. Shame too as it was an epic game (not in terms of quality mind)

I would have said 2,500 wth between 800 and 1,000 Bohs fans

[Dodge]

2,168 officially. I'm told 650ish Bohs fans

[PartySaint]

2,168 officially. I'm told 650ish Bohs fans

:eek: 750 more Rovers fans than Bohs fans when they came a few weeks ago, didnt look like that

[blue til i die]

1078 Waterford v Cork

[Ciaran W]

Just under 3500 at tallaght

[Lamper.sffc]

Just under 3500 at tallaght

To witness an epic second half :)

[Ciaran W]

Ye the last 20 minutes was brilliant end to end stuff :D Yous played us off the park at times in the game but it was a good game all round. . Mannus' double save was amazing

[Dodge]

:eek: 750 more Rovers fans than Bohs fans when they came a few weeks ago, didnt look like that

No, certainly didn't but then I thought the overall crowd was far bgger than the official line

[**FrOsTy**]

1078 Waterford v Cork

Not a chance in hell. The old stand holds 1250 and that had atleast 1100 if not more in it add to that 300 FORAS heads and 70ish more blues in the new stand. I'd say there was 1400+ at the game.

[Dodge]

Not a chance in hell.
Why do you think a waterford fan would deliberately give a lower (random) figure?

[stann]

Why do you think a waterford fan would deliberately give a lower (random) figure?

It's not a random figure, it was the number passed up to the press box, but it was qualified as a 'paid in' figure as it was passed on, which I thought strange at the time.
Up to now this year we've been using the total figures (used to be just paid-ins), but Frosty is right, there was more there last night. I'd have said ca 1300, which would be in the ball park if season tix were added.
Also, another possibility is that there would have been a good few people there before ever the count was put on the gate too. I got to the ground about 6.15 (not normally that early but went straight from work), and there was already 50+ cars in the car park at that stage, before the gate crew got on station (municipal ground, gates are open all day beforehand).

[**FrOsTy**]

As far as I know we don't count season tickets and concession tickets. 1078 is probably the paying gate. Which is unfortunate as it really takes the gloss from a few of our attendances. 1400 minimum inside the ground last night.

[gufc2000]

140 at Longford-Monaghan on extratime

608 in Tolka according to extratime

[Dodge]

Cheers for clarifying. When I said random, I meant as in "Why would anyone make up a figure like that. if it wasa guess it be 1,200 (or whatever)"

AFAIk clubs are required to count all entries into the ground (its a health and safety requirement)

[stann]

AFAIk clubs are required to count all entries into the ground (its a health and safety requirement)

Could well be, we have been doing that this year up to now, which is why I was surprised to hear last night's figure called out as a 'paid-in'.
Just to back up Frosty's headcounting skills BTW, very accurate shout on the Foras attendance, there were exactly 315 of them there!

[Mr A]

60 tops at Salthill v Harps. Very weird watching senior football where the players are noisier than the crowd.

[Partizan]

No way was there just 1,078 at the RCS last night. There was more like 1400-1500. The West Stand was nearly full (1150) and there were 300 ****ies in the East Stand. WUFC only count paying attendances not season tickets or concessions which made up another 2-300.

[SPXcyan]

definitely more than 1,078 there last night!

[Lim till i die]

Oh good, yet another riveting installment of the bi annual Waterford United attendances row. :rolleyes:

Will ye sort yourselves out down there, how hard can it be to count what are fairly paltry crowds??

Must be the only club in Europe that don't include season ticket holders in the attendance.

Of course, I realise a lot of your figures on here, like a lot of the first division clubs on here are probably pure fantasy.

39,586 at The Brandywell last night.

[bennocelt]

About 2,100 in Inchicore tonight apparently. Looked a little more but there you go. Shame too as it was an epic game (not in terms of quality mind)


Was hoping to get to the Shams game but the Luas was down, ridiculous, wonder if it might have affected attendances? :mad:

[The Lep]

Not really, just add one :)

[Battery Rover]

100 max at Mervue vs Athlone

Athlone brought about 50

[Bray Head]

About 800 at Bray and Drogheda on Friday.

[Candystripe]

Derry v Limerick 1,907

More in the uncovered tce side since the European games. Summer footballs great :)

[pineapple stu]

100 max at Mervue vs Athlone
I counted 140 about 15 minutes in.

[Battery Rover]

I counted 140 about 15 minutes in.

When the teams came out I was sure that the announcer was going to say "For the benefit of the players I will name the spectators"

[razor]

WUFC only count paying attendances not season tickets or concessions which made up another 2-300.Do home fans paying in get tickets? Cos we didn't get any the other night.

[blue til i die]

Do home fans paying in get tickets? Cos we didn't get any the other night.

No. The turnstyles count the number going through afaik.

Edit: Though i may be completely wrong, but ive never seen anyone with them.

[Dodge]

No. The turnstyles count the number going through afaik.

I think this is a licensing requirement

[GUFCghost]

I would say thefre 1200 at the galway v ucd match,we only count those who pay at the gate

[pineapple stu]

Nope, 824 looked about right. Nowhere near 1200.

[HulaHoop]

Shamrock Rovers v Sporting Fingal 3500


Slightly less 3471.

[gufc2000]

611 at Fingal-Galway, according to extratime

[gufc2000]

A few more from extratime:

Cork-Athlone 1351

UCD-Dundalk 464

Bohs-Shamrock Rovers 3800 (estimate)

[poster]

1632 at Rovers V Bray tonight

[Dublin Red]

1632 at Rovers V Bray tonight

I would have said a bit less, maybe 1,500. But that looks official, was it said over the PA?

About 20 Bray fans, 10 or so of them sang their hearts out god bless them.

[Sam_Heggy]

576 at Harps Mons with 4000 Mons fans in attendance

[D.24saint]

Id guess about 600 at Hunky Dorys park which ironically had no hunky dorys to be bought anywhere maybe a drogs fan would be better at judging the crowds up there.

[GUFCghost]

Nope, 824 looked about right. Nowhere near 1200.

we'll the new stand looked fairly full and it holds 1500

[Rasputin]

1632 at Rovers V Bray tonight
Yup 1600 sounds about right.

[bennocelt]

Second try - worked a treat again (UCD v Shams), and not only that but managed to haggle for a UCD scarf, got it for a fiver!
On the negative side paid over 6 squid for a burger and chips!


Third time!!! Though felt a bit bad asking for a student ticket for Longford game considering the tickets were cheap anyway - 8 euros for student, 10 regular!!!!
