Many at the League cup Semi last night?

1200 est. according to extratime.

[oriel]

I know its not counted for 2011 figures but I cant see any crowds given for last nights games. I was at Drogs v Dundalk, looked to be up to 500 away support, not sure how to estimate the overall crowd as dont know how many the main drogs section holds, which was well over half full, couldnt see stand/clubhouse.

Anyone got figures for last nights games?

[razor]

Echo says 324 at Wexford-City last night.

[WindmillWarrior]

not a kick in the a*se off 2,000 I'd say

[Longfordian]

Based on €€ through the gate tonight over 1,000 at Town-Bohs more than likely.

Did you count the animals in that :)

[Longfordian]

Yes about 100 pigs as well!

[bullit]

Not a hope that it was 2,000.We had near 600 fans there and no way had yee got twice as many ?? 1500 is prob a far call even if both sets of supporters made it sound as if there was twice as many.
Hope yee are bringing "loads" up to OP on Tuesday but it i guess it will just be the usual 100 or so. :(

[PartySaint]

Why the F*ck were Rovers fans there??

[WindmillWarrior]

Thats only been "the usual" for the last 2 seasons when the apathy around the club has been huge. We always brought hundreds up there over the years. We'll defo have more in Boriel than "the usual" this time...

[Dunny]

Taking the girlfriend?

[trevy]

I haven't seem any official attendance but I'd guess about 800 for Waterford United v St Pats.

Misprint of the year.

[Cuyahoga]

2,484 at Tallaght Stadium last night for Rovers v UCD in the F.A.I cup according to extratime.ie which is not too bad for a monday night against an unglamorous side.

[El-Pietro]

i had thought there would be a huge crowd to welcome the team home, but given the fact that it was a Monday and UCD thats pretty good in fairness

[pineapple stu]

It was a fairly second-string XI I think, and given season tickets didn't count and given that you really couldn't blame people in this day and age saving for Kazan/Spurs/PAOK instead, yeah, it was a fairly good crowd alright.

Bit harsh. Shams aren't that bad.

[bullit]

DundalkFC.com go with 1484 which seems about right to me.

With no money from TV Coverage and early kick offs it is costing clubs money for the honour of having their games live!!

[TiocfaidhArmani]

Shels v Wexford Youths - 532, very poor all thins considered. We need out of this division pronto.

[BonnieShels]

Well there's no doubt we will be out of it if we keep playing and grinding out results like that.

[nigel-harps1954]

Terrible crowd for Shels given the fact they're coasting this division. About 450-500 in Finn Park last night. Not a huge amount less than Shels and we're 3rd from bottom.

[BonnieShels]

A lot of that has to do with the tenuous support we have as a club, the Ireland game, the bull of the last week with Sheriff.

[born2bwild]

Wasn't a bad match - solid performance from Shels. I have a funny feeling that Wexford threw it, though.

[TiocfaidhArmani]

Do you get any feeling people will stop going after that shambles and the feeling some have underneath it all they threw the game and feck going to support them?

Well to be honest I'm having difficulty. As I said it to b2bw during the week I couldn't face even going to dalyer on Tuesday or to Tolka last night. I've a seriously bad taste in my mouth about it to be honest.

[Dave_SRFC]

Well to be honest I'm having di ficulty. As I said it to b2bw during the week I couldn't face even going to dalyer on Tuesday or to Tolka last night. I've a seriously bad taste in my mouth about it to be honest.

Do Shels fans really believe this happened? looks like nothing is going to come of it...you need to support your club through the thick of it..

[BonnieShels]

A lot do, a lot don't.

I'm one that believes that something went on.

I need a week or so to cool down. I just think to have been at Tolka last night to cheer on a certain player would have been the height of hypocrisy.

Nothing will come of it I know but it's not that easy to just accept it.

In time, perhaps.

[ShelsTim]

Shels v Wexford Youths - 532, very poor all thins considered. We need out of this division pronto.

Cork and Derry Cities have shown us that being in the 1st division has nothing to do with low attendance figures, this has been a problem for Shels since before we ever got relegated and it's about time something was done about it, for the sake of the club.

In fairness, if we don't get out of here this season our numbers will slide too.

Shels attendances were never fantastic but proportionally they help up well enough for the first year or 2

Harps v Shels

When's the last time we played an afternoon game at home because of TV?

Not a clue, im not a great believer in documenting such occasions in my diary.

Hmmm! Derry 700 or so, Rovers 1,300 or so, Dundalk 1,200 or so

[maksimir]

A few crowds the weekend just gone surprised me a bit - the Sligo one in particular, I think they got roughly their average gate which included a large away support so in effect the home crowd for the showgrounds was probably down on its average. A tad strange considering it was one of their most important league games in years. I'm not convinced the time was a 'large' contributing factor (not wumming here) but the lack of money might be. I know families who have just shed out hundreds of euros getting a few kids back to school and that's with the xmas crap already in some shops. The reason I think this is a more relevant reason is other crowds were lower than expected also - I'd have thought the Cork/Lims crowd would have had a minimum 500 more than it did. Money is tight, I know it is for me.

I'd have thought the Cork/Lims crowd would have had a minimum 500 more than it did. Money is tight, I know it is for me.5pm kick off on a Saturday didn't help.
FAI moved it to Saturday and the Gardai (while taking care of their rugger bugger chums) moved it to 5pm.
It meant anyone playing themselves at 3pm on Saturday would struggle to make it, even 6pm wouldn't have been too bad but heaven help us that we would inconvenience Munster and their loyal fans.

Nope it was the kick off time.
Every time we have a kick off time moved to the afternoon or moved to a friday or sunday it has a detrimental effect on our attendance.
I would say between 300-500 of a hit on the attendance.

Defo was. I know of at least 5 regulars that couldnt make it due to time. Rasputin figure of between 3oo - 500 is a good estimate on how much the gate was down.

Different times suit different teams. Dundalk played in the THursday in the FD, Shams tried the Saturday night but have moved to a Friday. Im sure Saturday afternoon games might suit some teams but were not one of them.

I think the main point being missed here is that those ******* in the FAi have taken the payment to a home team away for Live games. Its a joke.
