2010 attendances

[Flexy]

Guys do the teams this weekend get compensation from the fai for having to move the matches to the next day. Looks like most matches had reduced attendances this weekend because of the other match arranged by Delaney on Fri night

[Dodge]

Bohs-Shamrock Rovers 3800 (estimate)

There was no where near that many. 2 blocks of the Jodi were completely empty. Rovers sold all 1,100 tickets they got

Leinster's Magners League final being on 15 minutes' walk away took a good bit from our crowd. I don't know why we couldn't have played earlier in the day to avoid the clash. Dundalk brought a good crowd with them in fairness.

[MeathDrog]

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.
Wasn't at the game but it was probably more than 600.

The shop under the stand was probably selling hunky dorys no?

[Patrick Dunne]

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

824 official attendance, including season ticket holders. There may have been more people in the ground, (not everyone enters through the main turnstile area, and there were juvenile teams who didn't have to pay in) but certainly not more than 900 in total.

Also, if you are sitting in the new stand, or standing in the old stand, you may think that there is a large crowd around you and therefore overestimate the total attendance. The best way to judge the crowd is from the city end of the ground.

[fionnsci]

Just from the tv, the home stand at Dalymount looked like it had about 1,800 in it. 1,800 + 1,100 = 2,900.

[Candystripe]

Derry City v Waterford utd 2,044

[micls]

Moving to Saturday was a disaster alright. Definitely cost us around 600 people. That said, it was 600 less who saw that rubbish so it's not all bad....

[Martinho II]

I was speakin to someone in the club last nite about our attendance and we reckon that it was double the crowd of last week against Monaghan.. Estimate 280.. Limerick brought down two busloads ...

[poster]

But that looks official, was it said over the PA?.

No, just in the box

[Lim till i die]

Estimate 280.. Limerick brought down two busloads ...

We NEVER perform infront of a crowd!! :)

[Riddickcule]

Someone said on the eleven a side forum that the Bohs-Rovers game was a predicted record breaking LOI attendance. LOL.

That site is full of ****e

[DaveyPats]

Poor crowd in Drogheda last night, no more than 1000 I'd say with about 400 Pats.

[Flume]

About right I'd say. The home gate looked awful.

[red bellied]

There was a bigger crowd for the Drogheda game in the Showgrounds (1420) than against Bray which was given as 1632.

[Darkglasses]

About 230 or so at Youths-Mervue today.

[Cuyahoga]

137 at Salthill is pathetic.Shelbourne probably brought half that crowd. Looking at these figures every week is depressing.
Wexford and Longford should hold their heads in shame.

[gufct]

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

The new stand was less than half full and season tickets are taken into account as were all 60 kids from Tuam Celtic.

[Youths4Ever]

and so should you easy to give out about attendances but harder to suggest something to help. wexford tried a move to sunday football that has failed and brought attendances down back to Friday night should hopefully make a difference along with recent results

Every crowd, every week, without exception, is pathetic.

What's your point?

Attendances are definitely up since the move back to Fridays! Mervue on Sunday afternoon is hardly a thrilling prospect, the way things are at the moment here over 200 is about as much as you can hope for.

Some are more pathetic than others.

[Lim till i die]

Some are more pathetic than others.

Is Bohs 2068 average any less pathetic than Salthills 146??

Is Limericks 667 less pathetic than Longfords 253??

The whole league is a jokeshop crowdwise and I'll tell you a better one some of those First Division figures from my own experience are pure fantasy.

The only thing more pathetic than the crowds is people using their pathetic crowds for one up man ship.

The day Limerick are starting to attract 2-3000 regularly and Salthill are still on 50, then I might start vribbing about clubs.

It's not ever going to be an issue though.

[Dublin Red]

1,300 in the showgrounds for the EA sports Cup V's St. Pats.
Includes a traveling support of 37 from inchicore. [I counted:tongue:]

I wouldnt have put the crowd that high tbh.

[trevy]

About 250 at the RSC last night with about 15 or 20 Dundalk fans.

[Magicme]

Official attendance in Jackman last night was 204. Seems we are not glamourous enough to draw a crowd. There were 27 mons there.

[osarusan]

There were 27 mons there.
And fine noise you made too. Though you had much reason to celebrate.

[Magicme]

What a nite! Actually been told there were 30 there, forgot about the others!

*KIDDING!!

[shep]

About 250 at the RSC last night with about 15 or 20 Dundalk fans.

Counted 29 of us!!!! Some a bit drunker than others!!!!

[Lim till i die]

[Ciaran W]

How many were at derry-rovers ?

[stann]

Counted 29 of us!!!! Some a bit drunker than others!!!!

One definitely sounded it anyway. F*** me, some pair of lungs on him! :D

[blue til i die]

One definitely sounded it anyway. F*** me, some pair of lungs on him! :D

Yeah, poor Georgie got an awful time of it...and he wasnt even there :D

[Flexy]

How many were at derry-rovers ?
Just over a thousand Ciaran, around 50 rovers fans up for the game, small attendance as Derry were at home Saturday night, Tuesday night and also this Friday for the cup game against Bray so difficult to expect people to pay 3 times in a week, and season tickets only valid for one of those games which was the league game against Waterford

[Ciaran W]

Alright thanks. 200th post Yayyyy ! :D

[Candystripe]

I was told 1,400 at Derry V Shamrock rovers (un-official although came from a reliable source/worker at the club) seemed a bit less than that though.

More like 1,200 IMO

[bullit]

Yeah, poor Georgie got an awful time of it...and he wasnt even there :D
to travel to waterford and not get drunk would be a sin on its own

[pineapple stu]

Any guesstimates for the Bray-Bohs league game, by the way?

[dublinwanderer]

Any guesstimates for the Bray-Bohs league game, by the way?

i would say about 1200 with 600-700 bohs... we are getting brutal attendances!!! our club really needs to get the finger out and quickly at that!!!

[Bray Head]

Between 1100 to 1200 I'd day.

Hopefully the new Club Promotion Officer will be appointed soon and start promoting the club in the area. Attendances obviously not helped by recent 6-0 & 5-1 defeats.
