2010 attendances

[pineapple stu]

Fear. Staying overnight and have wireless on the laptop. Drinking the memory of the match out of my mind. :(

(Nearly there! :D)

Few cans for Stu tonight boi! That's the way!

[Rasputin]

The figures the club give are ridiculous.
Like poster said the club said it was 1200 tonight which is miles out and likewise for the past few games.
Tonight I would have said roughly 1800.

[pineapple stu]

The figures the club give are ridiculous.

They're 200 less on average than fan guesstimates, which in my experience fits in well with how fans overestimate crowds, so they're generally not nonsense. I do think 1200 was too low for last night, but sure let's see what goes in the programme in the next issue.

[srfc1928]

Actual paying adults not including season ticket holders. Dont think they are ever included.

[Sean South]

Either you flew home Stu, or you've broadband in the car. You were very quiet in the corner in Mooney's this evening.
Was he the fat ugly guy with the bad haircut and UCD scarf?

[gufc2000]

Extratime estimates 1700 for Sligo-UCD

791 for Fingal-Dundalk

190 approx for Longford-Finn Harps

[MMVIII]

Figures in our programme can't be right. I'm not being Bias or anything, but there far to low. Last night was a great example. Said there was 1200. Red stand was over 3/4 with about 1500 in it. And then about 300 spread around the ground.

[SupaJon]

Never that many, maybe 1,000 at a push 600 Pats fans

How hard can it be to count people coming through the turnstiles?

[The Lep]

Actual paying adults not including season ticket holders. Dont think they are ever included.

Do they include season ticket holders that attend the games ? You show your season ticket and you get a match ticket and then get incuded in the attendance ye ?

No. Hand your season ticket in and just walk through. No ticket.

[Ciaran W]

Anyone how many was at the rovers v man utd reserves ?

[avvenalaf]

Anyone how many was at the rovers v man utd reserves ?

3858 (and 2 Shams supporters)

Most of those things are subjective, and I wasn't there, but yes.

[The Lep]

No. Hand your season ticket in and just walk through. No ticket.

Is the season ticket a booklet with a stub for all the matches or a credit card type card ? We show our season ticket at the ticket office and they give us a match ticket which the steward then takes the stub off it . It counts towards the attendance.
We had the booklet last year and you handed the stub off the relavant match to the steward.

Do Sligo record everyone that comes through the gates either paying or ticket holders ? If they do then the attendance they call out should be correct but if they dont record season ticket holders then if its a large crowd it could be a safety issue if they dont now exactly how many they have in the ground.

The tinkling sound you can hear in the background as you read that post is Pineapple Stu's heart breaking :(

80 in Salthill. Omg. Please kick them out lol

[John83]

Love you too, John.:kiss:
Let's face it, it was you, Schumi or Aberdonian Stu. Schumi is by no stretch of the imagination fat, and Aberdonian Stu doesn't wear a UCD scarf very often.

[Dublin Red]

Around 2,800 for the league Cup semi-Final in the Showgrounds. Rovers V Shams.
With about 500 Shams fans down.

[Aberdonian Stu]

Aberdonian Stu doesn't wear a UCD scarf very often.

That and I'm devastatingly handsome.

[Dodge]

Completely unnofficial this but a Bohs mate reckons there "wasn't close to a 1,000 people" at Bohs v Bray last night

[Jicked]

This picture from their forum makes it look like a tiny, tiny crowd alright

I was'nt there last night as i had to work late but god that is shocking from a bohs point of view.

[Rasputin]

I wouldnt say the crowd was as high as 2800 last night.
I would hazard a guess of about 2500.

Wha? Credit cards and booklets!
You show yer man on the stile your ticket, he says 'howya' and you walk through.
Infairness we dont get big enough crowds for it to be a safety problem

[Dodge]

Its against licensing though. Everyone who's in the ground has to be accounted for.

What stile are you using. All they ever say to me is 'Behave yourself'.

[PartySaint]

The guy at the turnstlyes in the Carlisle is great, he shakes your hand and says welcome to the Carlisle, Although he wasnt there last week, Nice touch i think

I find them a particularly nice club all round. Sligo too are prety welcoming (in terms of ticket/programme sellers etc etc)

[peadar1987]

I was wearing a red jacket over my Bray top for the Derry game last year, and he thanked me for making the trip down! I think he recognises me now though, or did, before I left the country

I'm almost sure that is Paddy you are talking about :D Actually it is Paddy, He is an absolute gent. He also puts the clubs match posters up aroud the town for every home game too. You couldn't meet a nicer man.

On the Bohs v Bray match, i though there was 400/500 at the game at max, terrible turn out.

Once I forgot my season ticket and I asked him could I get through anyway, expecting him to say no. He let me in, top top bloke :)

[Ciaran W]

Great crowd at tallaght :D

[Rasputin]

Many in inchicore? Many Rovers fans make it?

[ped_ped]

1265 and Jackman tonight, announced.

[Ciaran W]

Great crowd in Limerick. . The amount of foreign interest in rovers matches now is deadly, i seen about 15 chinese people and then all sorts of other nationalities :)

[passinginterest]

I think they said 4,400 as attendance in Tallaght at the end.

[Ciaran W]

Amazing crowd in tallaght tonight. . Mainly down to the 300 kids who got free tickets off the rovers camp but im sure a few of them will be back again after seeing that performance.

[redobit]

Its the way of the future for the LOI. In the short term the kids bring an adult to the game boosting the gate and in the long term the kids get hooked and come back.

v Bray. The Big Club

[PartySaint]

Many in inchicore? Many Rovers fans make it?

Id say about 1,800, A good Sligo support 200 maybe a bite more, Now that i said that the club will come out with a figure of about 1,200

[Ciaran W]

Great to see all them at the match

[trevy]

1984 at Turners Cross last night according to match report on extra time.

[Hibs4Ever]

302 at UCD/Fingal
