2010 attendances

[pineapple stu]

I'm assuming the extratime figure is official because it's not round, because I know how the press get their figures and because Fingal have been giving out official figures throughout the season. If you think that it's too high (as you did), then I can only assume you're casting doubt on the official figures.

Yes, you can question any figure you want, but I think it can be taken as a fact that more people have questioned Fingal's figures than any other club's.

On TheBoss' post - any other takes on Cork v Limerick (differs a lot to the official figure) or Drogheda v Galway?

[The Lep]

By no means am i casting doubts on anyones official figures. I know a few others have but thats more down to their personal feelings towards Fingal rather than actual belief in the attendance. You cant go assuming figures are correct just because a diffrent footy web site has posted a diffrent figure. Tell you you what, stick down the 511 it sounds about right :)

[brendy_éire]

I counted 131 at the Mervue-Derry match last night.

[D.24saint]

Id guess 1100 or so for Pat V Galway going toe to toe with a WC quarter final is madness in my opinion.

500 seems too low, 1200 seems too high IMO going by my impressions on the night on the photos I've seen since.

500 is definitely too low though.

610 at the Limerick v Waterford beach football competition last night

[poster]

1,700 at Rovers V Shams.

[Darkglasses]

Wasn't at the game myself, but most people are putting the Wexford - Finn Harps attendance at 150-200.

[Sean South]

1,728 last weekend and 1,952 last night.

You need to start drinking and enjoy yourself more at football squire.

you are right it is, but wouldnt add any more on for that game. your crowds are terrible all the time.

[GalwayRed]

459 for Shels-Athlone:(

[Dodge]

except its 700 down from the average. Which, of course, is terrible

[pineapple stu]

350 in the Irish Times for Drogheda v UCD. Was thinking a bit higher, but no more than 500.

Someone mentioned on our forum that he heard there wasnt much over 300 paying customers on friday night. Shocking, but would make sense with 150/200ish season ticket holders added to that to make 500 or so

[Acornvilla]

yeah i seen a few cork lads in town after the game, hopefully we will have a decent crowd come next home game, what fools scheduled the game for during a WC quarter final

[Sam_Heggy]

150 max at Wexford-Harps game.

[pineapple stu]

Never as high as 750.

[The Lep]

Saw a few in the Q outside Dalymount walking away when they saw it was €20 in. Some 0AP heard this and also walked away thinking it was the same for them even though there is a price list on the wall outside.

[ndrog]

dont know how many was there tbh but how do you know ? Could you see both sides of the ground from the away terrace ? into the clubhouse etc ?

You need to start drinking and enjoy yourself more at football squire.......and you need to realise the thread is called "2010 attendances".

[pineapple stu]

Just on John83's earlier comments, I've very quickly gone back over the thread and put together the attached, which is the average attendance at the end of each week (the gaps are the weeks I didn't find; I'm sure they're in the thread somewhere). It shows that the average has been steadily declining almost all season. In time, I'll try go back over the other threads and do the same for previous seasons and keep the current season updated as well, but that's the general idea of what's happening crowd-wise.

[Ciaran W]

Anyone know how many was at the dundalk european game ?

[sandman]

According to a Luxemburgian newspaper, there were 760 spectators.

[Sean South]

......and you need to realise the thread is called "2010 attendances".

I'm fully aware what the thread is called... but counting everyone at a game when you have travelled around 200miles even if the game is **** is very anorak. Away days should be about **** ups, having a laugh and so on.

[galwayjames]

sporting fingal and sligo rovers attendance was 512

[Paddyfield]

1215 in Terryland for Galway United v Bray.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

412 was announced I thought

[The Lep]

Nah x 4 is correct but for this thread Stu can stick in the 1215 :)

Where did the 512 come from ?

[Dunny]

1500 at Dundalk - Drogheda

Given on Dundalk FM and Extratime.ie

[BillytheFin]

512 was announced

[seand]

Very poor crowd at Oriel. Shows again the folly of all these midweek fixtures .... and both of our homes against Shamrock Rovers are on Mondays this season which will knock at least 1,000 off the crowd.

[Cuyahoga]

According to Jon Kenny on 2fm there was 5.000 at Tallaght last night for Rovers v Pats.

really? what do the 2 stands hold?

cheers

[passinginterest]

I'd have said about 4,500 rather than 5,000 myself. It's around 3,000 in each stand.

[Cuyahoga]

over 6,000. I think myself it was about 4,500.

[pineapple stu]

737 at UCD-Bohs.

Better crowds all round than I'd have expected for a Monday in the middle of the World Cup.

better crowds????? jaysus...........what were ya expecting :)

[pineapple stu]

It's only down 70 on the last time we played Bohs midweek. And the time before that that they visited, there were less than 400 at the game.

Galway's crowd is their second best of the season - granted, the promo would have helped - and the crowd in Tallaght is good considering they've typically been getting 3000-odd for games.

Fingal's to be expected really and the only pretty poor one is the Dundalk one. We've seen much worse Monday and World Cup effects this season.

[WindmillWarrior]

Anyone know how many was at the dundalk european game ?

Heard only 100 or so travelled from Dundalk.

[pateen]

1215 in Terryland for Galway United v Bray.

Good croud for Terryland. Lets hope it stays that way for ye

[Louth4sam]

Heard only 100 or so travelled from Dundalk.

Only?? :D

You feckers would hardly bring that up to Oriel park! ;)

[Buller]

Rovers - Pats 4,803

I would have guessed about 5,000 so it seems legit.

[ndrog]

Only?? :D

Yeah only ! Thats a very poor crowd for your first euro match in years .we brought great crowds to ALL our euro matches . lots of them have disapeared completely now though . Sad .
