2010 attendances

[peadar1987]

Derry City V Mervue Utd 1,336 watched the goal of the season from Jame's McLean.

He's be hard pushed to beat Daire Doyle's for Bray. About 750 at that one I'd say. Maybe 50 or 60 from UCD, although it's easier to get an impression of how many are in the Rehab Bingo stand when you're not actually in it!

I wonder if many would sit in that stand if they dropped the "bingo" part from the name;)

[**FrOsTy**]

Might actually increase the attendances if they do :P

[GGAJD]

Fair play to the 20-30 Galway fans who made their way to Tallaght for the second time in a week, I was talking to a couple of them in the Maldron before the game and they are a sound bunch.
Excellent video produced by some of they're fans with interviews of Hooperman, blackie, Fenn and Sheppard.

Think you're a fair bit over on both counts. Irish Times has 450; we reckoned 500 at the time, 600 max.

Other attendances in the Irish Times are 1098 for Pat's v Dundalk, 3879 for Rovers v Galway (strangely both different to other official-looking figures) and 400 for Drogheda v Fingal.

I saw that this morning, like I said, it's hard to judge how many are in a stand you're sitting in. I usually manage to overestimate Bray's crowd's anyway, probably more down to wishful thinking than any sort of honest recurring mistake!

[MeathDrog]

400 for Drogheda v Fingal.

Would be surprised if it was even that.

[White Horse]

Would be surprised if it was even that.

I heard the turnout was awful. What is going wrong?

They played their hearts out against us a few weeks ago and showed a lot of pride and passion. Why have so many fans deserted the club?

[total hoofball]

I reckon it was around 550 for Bray/UCD, definitely between 500-600 anyway.

I guess it doenst help the club either when there was a piece on them in yesterdays star on sunday about financial problems there with players cheques bouncing.. the manager situation doenst seem to have helped them either and Darius Kierans hanging about has resulted in two managerial casualties.. Donnelly was very critical of the club in stating that not enough use was made of him so I get the impression that Kierans is the powerbroker in the background. It looks like Kierans could be cast aside or demoted as Drogheda seem to have accepted that the regulations have gone against them and they cant afford to take a chance of appointing someone else in a shortterm capacity.. Kierans I believe qualifies this weekend but that may not be good enough for the club..

[bullit]

The sun today



"Darius Kierans is set to step aside from first team matters when basement boys Drogheda appoint a FOURTH boss this season"

Like WTF :confused:

[legendz]

There should be a good crowd for the upcoming Boh's - Rovers game. The Tuesday night game should make for a good TV game as well. With the internationals a few days later, there won't be much other games clashing that night. Might be something to look at more often, League games on the Tuesday / Wednesday before Friday internationals.

Having saw both goals,Doyle's was a great goal but not a patch on McLeans, not even in the same timezone!

The Grand Prix in Darts is on Sky, a few may want to watch that as it is in Dublin.

Not wishing to rub salt in Bohs wounds, but thats some drop (630) on their average from last year, as defending champs, cup semi finalist and almost in contention for the title all year.

We are down 430 based on these figures, I`d prob agree with that, hardly winning a game (or rather losing most at home) over the summer didnt help matters, maybe the last 3 home games will see an increase on the summer drop off as we appear to have finally found some sort of 'consistent' form.

Decent figures from Cork/Derry in the FD, and you have to take your hat off to the Tallaght figures.

Bohs' figure for last year is massively inflated. I remember reading last year an official average halfway through the season and seeing that it was a good bit lower than the figure on here. I'd still imagine they've dropped a bit though.

[Dodge]

This year figure is massively inflated too...

[pineapple stu]

It's interesting to note how much their attendances went up when they stopped giving official figures (i.e. the jump from 2008 to 2009). I think that indicates just how wrong fan estiamtes can be.

See my estimate of the Bray crowd on Friday for more proof!

Bohs crowds are absolutely woefull in a title chase.

[CuanaD]

The lads doing the radio commentary were surprised too, but 1900 was the figure given to them during the match - that's official enough for me

I thought there was about 2000 there last night so 1900 doesnt really suprise me..It was a good turnout in my opinion.

[Schumi]

UCD v Shamrock Rovers - 1986I heard 2080-something after the match. :confused:

[oriel]

Disagree, I actually said to my mate leaving and we both agreed on 1,800 so its not far off. Decent crowd on both sides of the ground last night, also noticed a lot of recent lapsed fans at the match. Irish Times also carried all of these figures, so not sure who the source is.

[Darkglasses]

450-500 at Youths - Derry

[Mark]

the ucd figure is correct and is a record for the Bowl

Sporting Fingal V St Pats

Out of interest I wonder how did this compare to UCD`s other crowds from Belfield for league games, Stu - have you any info on this, surely you must have had similar crowds for a host of other important league games down the years, especially as the location was so convenient for a lot of the Dublin sides.

[White Horse]

Sporting Fingal V St Pats

712

People passing overhead on planes don't count. ;)

[The Lep]

Ive thought of that one before :) It would have been a record attendance if it did :)

The only game I remember getting a crowd close to Friday's in Belfield Park was the League Cup final against Derry which was just over 2100 I think. Drogheda brought a huge crowd for a cup quarter final (around 2005 maybe), there was about 1500 at that I think. I wasn't at the game against Rovers just after Doc O'Neill died but maybe that was similar (pineapple might confirm) and the game against Derry in their first year in the league had a big crowd I believe but I've no idea what size it would have been.

[gufc2000]

The Star had something like 340 for Finn Harps-Athlone

[gael353]

Salthill v Limerick 37 (no thats the count not our name) ...with 30 comming from limerick

There was some late arrivals.

Full Attendance: 39 (THIRTY NINE), thirty two form Limerick

[cornflakes]

Theres more watching Wexford and District League Division 5 games

[Rasputin]

I would say probably about 1900 against the Drogs.
With more Drogs fans than I expected, about 50 or so, hard to see how many of them from where I was standing.

Around 20 Drogs made the trip.

do you know how many were at the last game in the Morton?

[WindmillWarrior]

Around 20 Drogs made the trip.

This is pathetic but sure what the hell, it is the LOI afterall! There was over 20 Drogs fans on the supporters club bus. 50 or so altogether is around the correct number.
So there :-)

I dont doubt it WW, but they werent all sitting in the away section anyway.

[The Lep]

792 for the rearranged game on the monday night.

[red bellied]

Was sitting directly across from away section. Around 20-25 drog fans. Red o bit said there was a few in main stand, didn't notice any myself.

There were 5 or 6 RB, ya.

Athlone Town v Shelbourne - no figure yet

325 official

[legendz]

Hopefully there will be a big crowd tonight. I think it's a good night for a live TV games. There's no European or International football to clash with it. If these sides go out and play, it will be a great game. For more drama, I'm going for a Boh's win.
Good luck to Sligo tonight as well, they are the best club outside of Dublin at the moment and I hope they do qualify for Europe and win the FAI Cup.
