2011 attendances

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

2011 in Tolka

Not the one I was in a couple of weeks ago it's not. Shame. Used to be a lovely little stadium

[Terry]

GUFC -v- Sligo was 1055. Over 600 travelling supporters who were a credit to their club last night.

Tolka does have a 1960s feel to it. It has a faded beauty kinda like a still - hot, ex-Bond girl. Compared to, say, the gap toothed wizened brasser that is Dalymount.

[oriel]

850 reported on dfc.com for the UCD game last night, seems to be an estimated attendance as I dont think all season tickets were accounted for, looked closer to 1,000 but certainly no more than that.

Plus one shark.

[shellyriver]

Plus one shark.

Surely that was a washed up humped-back pygmy sperm whale?

[Darkglasses]

Much lower attendance at the RSC on Friday night than when I was at the same fixture there last year. Would think it was somewhere around 475-500. 40-50 from Wexford.

An estimate of 600 on extratime

[WindmillWarrior]

Drogheda v Derry


780 for that one.

1,300 approx for Drogs V Rovers

[Darkglasses]

Yep, and someone on btid.net put it at around 400. Looked a bit closer to 400 to me

The Galway support were also a credit to their club despite being hammered nobody left early, those who were there were bitter enders and I can pay no greater compliment than that, best ground but worst location of any loi club
excellent stewards too.

[MeathDrog]

780 for that one.

I'd go nearer the 1,000 for the game last Friday. Poor showing from our side.

I know that mate. 500+ away terrace, 400 stand and clubhouse. The other 400 or so on the home side. Pathetic it be. The team deserve so much more. They've played brilliantly the past 7 weeks

You're avvenalaf? Ever been to The Showgrounds, Tallaght or Turners Cross?

[Dodge]

Terryland is better than the Showgrounds. Only Tallaght and Turners Cross better

[Rasputin]

True that.

[nigel-harps1954]

.

...conveniently forgetting Salthill and Wexford, both of whom barely have a whiff of civilisation anywhere near them.
Terryland is a great stadium and it's in no means in a bad location. It may be a bit out of the city centre, but its still in a good spot.

[redarmyfaction]

Tallaght is a dreary canyon I will never love it, haven't been to the cross for years I was never mad keen for it, Terryland is lovely and compact great atmposhere, then again I have hunky dory and Inchicore second and third.

You clearly haven't been to Drom.

[Martinho II]

You clearly haven't been to Drom.
and got lost too.. the greatest curse of any loi fan tryin to find drom! I still missed it the other day even though I was on the right road theres no signs outside the ground.. no turnstiles no shelter on pitchside.. I will be so glad when they leave the loi!

[nigel-harps1954]

543 I believe in Finn Park v Shels.

[Guinney]

From the match stream I was watching Shamrock Rovers took some away crowd to Tallinn, anyone have a figure on how many went?
How many was at the match all together including the Flora Tallinn fans?

papers were sayin that 500 rovers fans travelled over.. I am not sure of the crowd at the game though..

[GalwayRed]

762 in Tolka tonight.

[sadloserkid]

870 at Limerick- Monaghan.

[nigel-harps1954]

870 at Limerick- Monaghan.

Thats a great crowd for Limerick but I'd say a lot went away disappointed after the result.

Shels I'd imagine would be awfully disappointed with their crowds this season. Practically running away with the league and still fairly paltry attendances by their standard.

[Sam_Heggy]

Harps v Sheliban in last weeks game - 543

[BonnieShels]

That's a good crowd for us for a game against Salthill.
I wonder what next season will behold?

[sadloserkid]

They SWARMED for the exits after the second goal. If we keep half that crowd for the Salthill game we'll be doing very well. Happens every time we've had a crowd the last season or two... :(

[gufc2000]

From extratime:

Mervue- Waterford 325

Wexford-Finn Harps 100


Derry-Dundalk 2300 (estimate)

Drogheda-Galway 500 (estimate)

[cornflakes]

From extratime:

Wexford-Finn Harps 100


I wasn't able to get to the game myself but ForzaForth (http://foot.ie/threads/154352-Finn-Harps?p=1511338&viewfull=1#post1511338) reckoned there was 250 at it. I would usually agree with his estimates

[maksimir]

No wum intended but would that Derry estimate (if correct) for last night be considered on the low side considering the club could have gone top of the league? Still a decent number btw but I'd have thought a crowd of 3,000+ considering their fans hav'nt got European games to save for, etc. Interesting to see how many are at the top of the table clash at Sligo tonight considering both sets of hardcore fans within both clubs will have Europe on their minds. That being said I appreciate people have bigger priorities for any spare cash with kids, holidays, etc.

[Candystripe]

I don't have the official figure for last nights game yet but seemed to be slightly higher than the shams game two weeks ago, probably due to it being a nice night, the freebies from the Foyle cup teams and the chance to go top. On the down side it was the start of the un-official Derry holiday fortnight.

Pity it was a **** poor game.

Not always a reliable source, but the Star has 256 down for it.

[maksimir]

RTE has the Sligo v St. Pats crowd at 2,750 - a bit of a neat figure and probably rounded down by GAAites.

Ya about that id say.

[red bellied]

Crowd looked about 3,000 last night in Showgrounds. Extratime.ie has 2,750 so that's probably an official figure. Around 100-150 from Pats.

[Acornvilla]

town v cork, about 400 extratime agrees

[punkrocket]

In addition to Candystripe's points, I know quite a few people who'd usually go to a game but were heading over to Draperstown to get their tents up early (and what not) at the Glasgowbury music festival.
AAh..so much to do so little time to do it

[TiocfaidhArmani]

It is when you consider they have a virtually zero away support. Rovers had an average of 1,100 when they were in the First, what would they be getting if they were stuck in it for as long as we have and they have sooper dooper support, or so they say. Some of the attendances have been a let down though when you consider how well we're doing, so next season I fear they may not be all that bigger than this seasons. The FAI has damaged us as a club no end.

Sure, the FAI. :rolleyes:

[bluemovie]

I wasn't at the Mervue v Blues game, but it was generally agreed there were in the region of 130 there. Official attendance was called out as 325 to guffaws of laughter. One of the lads says he asked an official after the game where the other 200 were and he just joked back "ah you haven't seen our corporate boxes!"

Same as when we played down there in the league. They gave an attendance of about 250 or something, I recall Harps fans as good as outnumbering the home support when there was about 50 of us there.

I have to agree, at the start there was hardly 70 in the ground. I passed through the adjacent gaa pitch before the match on way to game and there was 2 training sessions and a full gaa match on. I was amazed at the amount of lads who i would normally associate with the nearby soccer clubs training with St James. Some of these obviously arrived over around half time but i would say it was 225 tops at that game

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

On MNS it looked like there was 1 fan in the away section in Drogheda. Fair play to him.

[Mr Maroon]

There were a few there, but they were put into the main stand.

[Candystripe]

Derry V Dundalk 2,415

*including Foyle cup teams

[adamd164]

3,205 official attendance at Cork City vs Shels.

[Mr Maroon]

810 in Terryland. 20 consecutive losses and these crazy people are still coming back for more.

[Jofspring]

3,205 official attendance at Cork City vs Shels.

Fair play, thats a great crowd and the players certainly didn't let them down. Hopefully some day soon we can see crowds like that in the Markets Field.
