2010 attendances

[bullit]

212 at Fingal v Limerick
Dress this up anyway you want,but this is pathetic! And certaintly not an unattractive fixture.Would be interested to hear how many Lims fans traveled for this?

[pauliek]

Rovers official told me 610 Hoops, 350 home fans. So fairly similar
Thats odd, I taught most of them would have been in Ballybofey?

At a guess , between 20-30.

[Lim till i die]

About 30 alright.

First game all season that there wasn't a bus ran to, very little interest in the cup with our league form going well.

Why would Shamrock Rovers fans be in Ballybofey for Finn Harps v Sligo Rovers?

[Fry]

212 at Fingal v Limerick
Less than a quarter of their league average. Did none of the usual freebies bother to pay in?

[JC_GUFC]

562 at Galway United v Salthill

[peadar1987]

A former league marketing executive told a fans meeting about 7/8 years ago that there was no point in advertising as although it might get people in the grouinds for one game. The poor facilities would mean they won't come back

That still holds true

I still hold that all you need to watch a football match in comfort is a seat and a roof. Decent toilets and food are a benefit. Everything else is just an excuse. The people who make the excuse that the paint is peeling, or something similar, would find a different gripe once that had been fixed.

[pineapple stu]

Media and promotion stuff split.

[Lim till i die]

Great crowd at Limerick v Fingal tonight for a great cup tie.

635 for a Monday night with zero advertising.

Wry smile at the cup holders earning twice as much off us as we did off them!!

[The Lep]

635? I know it was a decent crowd for a monday night but wouldnt have thought it was that much as i was guessing about half that but it was hard to judge from the grassy knoll.

[Lim till i die]

EXACTLY 635

Why would we lie about the crowd being bigger than it was, we have to give away 60% of the gate :bulgy:

[The Lep]

I know that, im not doubting the attendance nor suggesting that they lied.

Are you sure its 60% ? I thought it was around 30%. 60% seems a bit high.

[Lim till i die]

I think (open to correction) it goes 40 to Limerick, 40 to Fingal, 20 to the FAI.

[Mr A]

I think the split is 65-35 after expenses. Not sure what level the expenses usually are. I think it's different for the semis and final.

[Dodge]

Nah, its the 40/40/20 split (which means after expenses an away club makes more off the gate)

[The Lep]

Just hope then there is a good turnount in the next round :)

[dcfcsteve]

Nah, its the 40/40/20 split (which means after expenses an away club makes more off the gate)

Is the split not done after expenses have been deducted though ?

[Paddyfield]

Biggest traveling support for a Galway United away game this season so far. About 250 'travelled' to Drom Soccer Park in a crowd of about 400 for the FAI Cup replay

No official attendance was announced on the PA.

You say that as if it's something to be proud of? Pathetic really

[DonO'Bate]

GUFC v St Pats - Attendance 762.

[ped_ped]

Stadium announcer had just over 400 at Jackman Park tonight. Unsure of the exact number.

[bullit]

About 1200 in oriel tonight(bray had 30-40 down)

[oriel]

I would say 1200 would be the max. Heard at the match almost 200 season ticket holders didnt even bother attending, could hardly blame them based on that performance.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

4,022 in Tallaght according to rte.ie

[dcfcsteve]

4,022 in Tallaght according to rte.ie

That's a great crowd if true.

How many were Sligo ?

Absolute rubbish,i KNOW from the post match count that the figure you quote was actualy 42 season ticket holders not in residence.

479

Rubbish crowd, just aswell we are fannytastic

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

200 maybe. Not great at judging crowds mind. Really good atmosphere at the match. Shams fans were quiet enough in the first half when we were all over them but came to life in the second half

[trevy]

646 at Waterford United v Derry as per extratime.ie

[Flexy]

Were there many down from Derry last night

[oriel]

Not all season ticket holders are from the allocated part of the stand and a lot are from the ground. Besides my point remains, fans cant be bothered going to watch this rubbish and our crowds have halfed compared to the start of the season.

[redobit]

With Dundalk reporting a loss last season and their crowds down by half lately. There must be some concern about the finances at the end of the season.

[BillytheFin]

1408 at fingal V Bohs
(extratime.ie)

[blue til i die]

Were there many down from Derry last night

I would hazard a guess at roughly 60ish maybe :cool:

[trevy]

Were there many down from Derry last night
About 50 or so from Derry.

Crowds started off at just over 2,000 on avg, (I hink the first twop games were both 2,500) but to be fair on the fans all during the summer we never really dipped below the 1,500 mark (one home win all summer), its from now to the end of season that will be key, Rovers apart, the other games will be doing well to come close to last night (1,100)

Re the finances, well fair point, crowds dropping will be a factor, but costs are also down this year, plus we`ll have 180k to coming in from uefa next spring, which will help.

Pretty bad season though and crowds reducing can only be expected.

Whats the general consensus among Dundalk fans about Foster??

[bullit]

Whats the general consensus among Dundalk fans about Foster??
How long have you???:rolleyes:
Until last night the fans were behind him.
Bray turn up and give us a lesson,Foster goes to plan B and realises he hasnt got one,so hoofball and route 1 football ensue thereafter.The fans realise the man hasnt got a clue what he"s at and Hatswell(fitness coach and assist. manager) is equaly as culpable.He phyicaly fought with Sean Kelly during a recent match and,after not winning a single ball in the air last night,had several spats with fans during and after the game(yes during the game)
Foster Should fall on his own sword but wont.Contractualy with Dundalk until end of 2011,cash is king,but in a Prem leauge V Div1 scenario the hit to pay him off would be worth it IMO:(
PS im a bit pished:pirate:

[bullit]

silly

he seems to be on an exact same run as last season starting great then completely failing away at the end with us just surviving at the end. Im not saying dundalk are on the same path as ye have a better squad than we had last season. Foster only had a plan A and if that failed hoof it !

[Darkglasses]

About 75 at Mervue - Youths. Definitely no more than 80. Not including the sent-off Mervue player who left the ground with 20 minutes to play.

[**FrOsTy**]

and how many from Wexford. That is a dreadful crowd. There is bigger crowds at U11 games down here.

[Battery Rover]

Athlone Town vs Cork City Official Attendance 262

[Iorfa2MaccaJim]

With the greatest of respects, that's a terrible crowd.

I do agree with the idea of having the A Championship, and I respect
Senior League clubs trying to go one step further into League of Ireland
football, but with crowds like that the question has to be asked, how is it
financially feasable for these clubs. I think it is great to see new clubs coming into
the league, but is the support out there ?

[Spudulika]

I think it boils down to whether or not clubs can pay their way without going heavily into debt. By investing in youth after 4-5 years of bottom dwelling a club can begin to progress and bring in crowds, though whether or not this can happen properly who knows.

[Darkglasses]

15-20 from Wexford. I don't see the point in Mervue wasting money trying to keep themselves in the bottom 3 of the LOI for another season. Give someone else a go, and never allow 3 Galway teams into the LOI at once again! And root out whoever said a Salthill-Mervue derby game would bring a crowd.

[Spudulika]

Darkglasses they need to have a chance to build, though 3 Galway teams, from an area that the local authorities actively try to kill sport (it's just not culture don't you know) does seem to beg questions.
