2011 attendances

[gufc2000]

Mervue and Monaghan- 227 (extratime)

[pineapple stu]

414 at UCD v Sligo per extratime. Thought nearer 600-700 myself, but I know they get our official attendances, so it must be right. Could have let all the freebies in at the gate instead of the turnstiles again.

[pineapple stu]

Figures per the Irish Times -

Galway v Rovers 1165
UCD v Sligo 412
Pat's v Drogheda 1080
Bohs v Derry 1483
Dundalk v Bray 1100

Edit - and the First Division per extratime.ie -

Longford v Salthill 300
Shels v Harps 651
Wexford v Waterford 350
Limerick v Athlone 502
Mervue v Monaghan 227

Stand was about half full at the most, correct figure I would guess and probably a 50 50 spilt.

[cornflakes]

more than 350 at the Wexford-Waterford game, closer to 500

[RahenyBohs]

Back by popular/unpopular (delete as appropriate) demand, and another sign that football is only a short trip up the country away. I expect Fingal's departure should remove at least half the rows in this thread.

Thanks for those figures.

Bohs barely increasing their attendances during the back to back league titles was a disappointment. I also noticed a trend in those figures that attendances drop for teams who get relegated

[pineapple stu]

The stand holds 1500. You're actually agreeing with my post there.

Imagine that.

Stand means covered section and it even looked more sparse on tv.

[pineapple stu]

Stand means covered section
Hmmm...

Anyways, extratime figures for last night -

Sligo v Derry 2035
Dundalk v Rovers 2250
UCD v Drogheda 251

[Red Army]

Are ucd afc active in their community? shocking attendance for a top flight game no matter who's playing.

[Cuyahoga]

251 at belfield bowl v Drogheda last night. Where are the drogs fans gone that used to swamp every away ground when they were winning the title ?

[WindmillWarrior]

Same place fans of any club go when they become completely sh*t!

[superjohnny]

Jaysus, awful crowd in dalymount yesterday, would have guessed around 800.

we should have won too.

[marinobohs]

Crowd at Bohs V Bray was 1050 according to todays Indo and over 90 mins a draw was a fair result.

[Bray Head]

Crowd at Bohs V Bray was 1050 according to todays Indo and over 90 mins a draw was a fair result.

Bohs, St. Pats, UCD and Dundalk all had 2 home games on a Bank holiday week-end. Bray, Shamrock Rovers, Drogheda and Derry all had two away games. Terrible planning by the fixtures committee. Surely all clubs should have had one home game and one away.

What BH ? you actually still believe this circus is planned ? :eek:

[Bray Head]

Committee "How to screw up League of Ireland fans minds". Even the Mentalist on tv would struggle with this lot. I'm sure they are planning there next act now. Should be due soon.

[paudie]

Cork City v Longford - 2,075 official attendance

[Mr Maroon]

652 in Terryland.

Terrible attendance, but not unexpected considering the way things are going on the pitch.

[blue til i die]

[OneForTheFuture]

Cork City v Longford - 2,075 official attendance

A super attendance in the first division......great to see!

[DaveyPats]

Good crowd in Bray.

I'd say about 1600 maybe...

[D.24saint]

I'd say about 1600 maybe..

not a chance imo, sure the lego stand must only hold a few hundred, id guess more around the 1000 mark.

[Roo69]

not a chance imo, sure the lego stand must only hold a few hundred, id guess more around the 1000 mark.

The covered stand hold 970.

I'd say between 1100 and 1200

[D.24saint]

I'd say between 1100 and 1200

I don't see the problem with this one. It was the same last year, at the end and beginning of a new series.

The Premier Division home-away fixture pairs this year are, in the following order:

Dundalk-Derry
Rovers-Pats
Drogheda-bohs
Bray-UCD

e.g. for League Games 11 and 12 this weekend, Derry are home twice so Dundalk are away twice. Galway-Sligo is the exception this year where their schedule is a straight forward home/away basis. But like the other pairs, Galway and Sligo can't be both at home or both away on the same date. The pairs in all cases are not affected by postponed games.

[Dunny]

Shocking number...especially as it was a cracking game.

Im sorry but I cant take a Fingal fan calling crowds shocking seriously, even when they existed ffs.

[Hurt Locker]

:bashed:

Athlone also aren't hosting Bohs, Pat's and Shamrock Rovers this season.

[The Lep]

Why not?

[Sam_Heggy]

Harps v Wexford - 529

Unless we beat Mervue and/or Limerick, I could be one lonely mo-fo in Finn Park 26th May.

[Larry 'da' Wyse]

Maybe 800 at Bohs and Dundalk?

[PartySaint]

Id say about 2,800 at Pats v Rovers

[pineapple stu]

227 at UCD v Galway. Extratime gives 1135 for Bohs v Dundalk.

[bluewhitearmy]

bout 200 at mons limerick

Id have thought less from the looks of it.

[The Lep]

Id say about 2,800 at Pats v Rovers

The star has it at 2,000.

[peadar1987]

The star has it at 2,000.

Sure, you're a Fingal fan, what business have you commenting in the attendances thread? ;)
