2010 attendances

[Dalymountrower]

Irish Times reported it as 1,000. Can`t have been more than 400 non Bohs fans at the game and that includes the approx 40 Gardai "on duty" in the ground.

[SkStu]

Official Sporting Fingal attendance: 206

yikes...

[Ciaran W]

About 1700 at rovers tonight

[Schumi]

700-800 in Drogheda maybe. Definitely looked a good bit smaller than the league game.

[Dublin Red]

Rovers V's Athlone : 2,000 in the showgrounds. - big standing crowd behind both goals 300 railway (first half), 100 shed end. 1,300 in red stand(cpacity 1,853). 300 in jinks.

50 Athlone fans.

[Sam_Heggy]

443 in Finn Park, only around 300 of that paying customers, not good.

[wonder88]

I would guess 240-250 at Galway against Malahide, really bad for a beautiful evening and with a few decent players on show

Along with the Harps attendance, this is shocking!

Where was the rest of'em? :eek:

[Darkglasses]

Ooh I wouldn't even say that there was that many at Tallaght tonight. I'd say 1500 absolute maximum.

There's pictures of the match and ground here:

[sparky12345678]

so would it be fair to say attendences were way down for most if not all games?
Is this usual or what happened....theres nothing else happening (well the irish barbarian game) weather in dublin was fine and yet 200+ at sporting fingal (when theyve been averaging 1000)

[bullit]

:)2,300 @ dundalk v pats

[SkStu]

3,300 @ dundalk v pats

super crowd.

Are cup games counted in the attendances by the way?

50 Athlone fans.
Didnt seem like that much but cant really fault the maths.
But no way was there 50 Athlone fans, more like 25.
Was very dissapointed with the crowd they brought, was expecting more.

[De Town]

300 in the Flansiro last night.

FAI are insistent on freebies being confined to themselves for the cup games given that they get a cut of the gate. Pretty shocking (and depressing) crowds in Galway and Fingal .

[pineapple stu]

Yeah, that and season tickets not being valid doesn't help.

[osarusan]

Can't imagine there were more than 250 people at Jackman last night. Tolka brough 10-20 down.

I counted 134 :confused:

[Ezeikial]

But does help on the "real" figures - like gate receipts!!!

[SkStu]

Pineapple or anyone else know if cup games are counted in the attendance averages? Just interested.

[De Town]

They're not, if I remember correctly. League games only.

You only have eight fingers though.

[gufc2000]

Extratime has an estimate of 250 for Tullamore and Salthill

[Ciaran W]

Cuyahoga you must have been a tad bit drunk at that match if you though there was 50, there was only 9 or 10 !

[Darkglasses]

My father and I walked all around the west stand, saw about 20 Youths fans there (may have been more and I didn't recognise them though). There was about 15 of us sitting together at the away end, a few sitting in the reserved section, and then a couple more scattered around the stand by themselves...There could have been more Youths fans in the other stand, I wouldn't have seen them!

Does the south africa-mexico match kick off at 8 ? If so the weekends attendances may be down a bit.

[De Town]

South Africa v Mexico is at 3.00 on Friday.
U R Gay v France is at 7.30 that evening.

And yes that U R Gay remark is in reference to your post in the "Say anything" thread here. (http://foot.ie/threads/99286-The-say-anything-what-s-on-your-mind-thread?p=1366102&viewfull=1#post1366102)

There are no games this weekend. There's a two week break to allow players book holidays and avoid clashing with World Cup games.

[Lim till i die]

Official Attendance 129 so :p

[razor]

924 at the Cross last Friday to see Bluebell Utd

[Lim till i die]

924 at the Cross last Friday to see Bluebell Utd

How many came to see Cork??

[Lim till i die]

259 at Limerick Harps.

Midweek football is poo.

[fionnsci]

I'd say only about 950 at Pat's-Bray.

[De Town]

551 at Shels v Town.

[Rasputin]

How many Rovers fans were in Belfield tonight?

[Ciaran W]

Just over 2500 at tallaght, weekday matches just dont work :o

[dong]

How many Rovers fans were in Belfield tonight?

I reckon 200 max. About the same from UCD.

[Dodge]

I'd say only about 950 at Pat's-Bray.

Pretty Generous IMO. Looked about 500 with 5 minutes to kick off. Filled up a little in fairness.

Bizarrely felt like an end of season game too.

EDIT; Official attendnace of 1009

http://www.stpatsfc.com/attendances.php?id=81&comp=league

[Darkglasses]

Monaghan vs. Youths attendance about 100-120. 10 or so Wexford fans. Was absolutely pelting rain.

[pineapple stu]

I reckon 200 max. About the same from UCD.
394 official per extratime (although I had heard no official attendance was given to the press box, but that looks about right).

That's the first round of nine games played for us, with only two Friday games. Would drive you mad.

[seand]

Terrible crowd at Dundalk too, I'd guess around the 1200 mark. All these midweek games are a nightmare.

[MariborKev]

490 at Derry v Athlone.

[**FrOsTy**]

Dreadfully low crowd in the RSC last night. Be very suprised if it was more than 300. What ever about midweek games in the Premier Division. They just do not work for the FD

[Ezeikial]

Reported as 1500. Thats a thousand less then what could be otherwise expected on a Friday, rather the a Tuesday of exams week.That is about €10k - €12k in lost revenue. Remind me again how a shorter season saves clubs money?

[pineapple stu]

774 official at Galway v Bohs per extratime and the Galway forum.

[Ciaran W]

2500 at tallaght, thats our worst home crowd for a league game since tallaght opened. On the brighter side it was the biggest attendance of last night :)

Wow Rovers average is actually down this year despite the new stand. Very suprising.
