2011 attendances

[Red Army]

600? Oh Jesus, that is brilliant.

Ireland's No. 1 get 600 at a game, model club indeed.

The free season tickets must not have counted for the game.

The 600 seemed a bit low. I thought around 800 myself. With a lot of games coming up in Tallaght the more fairweather fans are going to be picking and chosing a little bit. I suppose it's a pitfall of success that people will look at a game like Athlone in the cup and think "is it worth €15 to see half the reserve team dismantle a shockingly poor first division side?".

Gaps from extratime.ie -


Derry v Galway 1200


Derry V Galway 1,257

When I saw 600, I thought the game was in Athlone.

600 in Tallaght for an FAI Cup game!? :eat:

Cant recall exact figure but attendance was around 1200

[dfx-]

1200/1300 I would've thought.

Let's not let that get in the way though of the Sligs believing the 600. Let them have their moment :)

Two big home games coming up and then home to Dundalk in the next two weeks

I thought Shamrock Rovers got 3,000+ for every game? :confused2:

[dfx-]

I don't think since the East Stand has opened that there has been a crowd of less than 3000, so you'd have thought right.

[poster]

What about games V Bray, Drogs and Lisburn?

[bluewhitearmy]

Best way to settle it whats Rovers average attendance and whats Sligos?

[poster]

Wouldn't know the GAA teams attendances to be honest. Think there was about 7,000 at the Leitrim game there the other Sunday.

Distillery possibly under.

[Rasputin]

Was myposts transporter malfunctioning for the game or something?

[Cuyahoga]

1500 according to the irish times on friday.

[Martinho II]

Im not sure if it was mentioned but at the town harps game last friday the attendance as confirmed in this wks longford leader is 400..

[nigel-harps1954]

461 official as mentioned earlier, which wasn't too bad given the fact it was a monday night, bucketing down rain, and Harps doing pretty các at the minute. Good travelling support too, must have been about 40-50 odd Longford fans up?

Yeah we're really sorry about this, dunno why you would think its brilliant though. In your opinion what do you think we are doing wrong.

im confused a tad. the official figure of 400 I quoted was the original cup tie a week ago!I assume the 461 was for the replay right?

Ah touché! Had myself a bit confused. Beg your pardon sir.

Cork have a good friendly lined up against Birmingham. They should be able to get a good crowd for that. The away manager had some good words:
'This will be an important part of our preparations and the facilities at our disposal will be top class. Cork City is a club, like our own, with a long and proud tradition and I know that its young squad is highly regarded.'

[Red Army]

Cork City is a franchise not a club.

[BonnieShels]

540 in Tolka tonight for game against Mervue.

[bullit]

1900 at Dundalk V Drogs according to the website.

[Mr Maroon]

695 in Terryland.

[Cuyahoga]

cork city is a franchise not a club.
dont be so pedantic !

[sheao]

Don't know what franchise your're on about, but Cork City Football Club has been around since 1984.

[pineapple stu]

1225 at UCD v Rovers.

[El-Pietro]

2046 at the Cross.

and no one wants to pay €17 to Platinum one to see Birmingham

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

1386 in Dalymount

[peadar1987]

You'd be surprised!

[PartySaint]

Attendance for Pats v Derry is down as 1,236 but definitly closer to 1,700, Main stand basically full due to the lashings of rain which forced everyone to run for cover bar about 50 of us on the camac

[nigel-harps1954]

Just over 500 in Finn Park tonight I'd guess.

[bullit]

Would that be up or down on your usual nigel ??

[nigel-harps1954]

Including a group of school kids that were in tonight. I guess we'll have to wait and see on the official attendance. Was up a bit on the usual though.

[Sam_Heggy]

472 official figure at Finn Park (excluding about 70 schools kids)

Sligo sold out last week, or are they all holding out to watch the Champions in a couple of weeks?

[Dodge]

Don't know what franchise your're on about, but Cork City Football Club has been around since 1984.

They had franchises in 1984 too you know...

Going off topic, but whats the deal with the abuse Zayed was getting? was it a large group shouting racist comments at him like one local paper is making out or was it a lone drunk?

No doubt he'll tell us all about it in his "hard-hitting" article on extratime.ie next week.

[SuperSaint91]

He's always got a fair bit of abuse from us..not racism though..just gets stick because he usually does quite well against us and he's turned us down on numerous ocasisons

Just to get this out of the way, I absolutely condemn racism but there is sometimes an alarming tendency to look for a racist element where none exists. I remember a few years back when Stoke were in the Championship, the pundits on a highlights show were laying into the Stoke fans for chanting "you black *******" at Michael Ricketts, when they were, in fact, shouting "you fat *******", which stemmed from his brief time as our resident-pie-disposal-man-come striker.

[bullit]

1300 at us V Patricks tonight as per the DFC website. http://www.dundalkfc.com/report-dundalk-1-2-saint-patricks-athletic-june-2011
Prob 100 from Patricks.

[PartySaint]

He has always got a bit of stick from Pat's fans, Normal sort of stuff, Then last year he wrote an article on Extratime saying we always racially abuse him, which just isn't true, So he is not much loved by us, didn't hear any racial stuff myself

[SuperSaint91]

By now he should be able to take abit of stick from us. I didnt hear any racist comments at all, a few shouting ya fat ******* and the likes but nothing of racist note.We should take him out for a drink to show what really nice people we actually are.

[passinginterest]

Back to the actual topic, around 4,000 in Tallaght, maybe just under by my estimate.

I wasn't there but Zayed can be a bit over -sensitive in my opinion. Saying that, if there was racist abuse then the scumbags responsible should be kicked out of every ground in the country. Zayed does not do himself a lot of favours though; he complains a lot to the officials, team mates etc. Take how he carried on up in Dundalk a few weeks back.

[Invincible]

There was no racist comments toward Zayed. He should be able to take a degree of stick from opposing fans. Obviously not of the racist kind as that's completely unacceptable. This thread has gone way off topic anyway.

[poster]

Still never a penalty.

[dfx-]

Yeah, 4,000 for me too. Might be less than that on Friday given it's in the middle of Derry and Dundalk in the space of two weeks

[niftynigel]

A group of us from England were at the Salthill Devon v. Monaghan United game last Saturday. There were a few late comers, but after a few counts we settled on an attendance of 100. There were 10-15 from Monaghan.
