decent crowd for the SC

[askmehoop]

1500 at Tallaght from what i hear. suprised we got so many, not much interest in this cup until semis/final. and at 15euro a pop not worth going to see imo

[Longfordian]

Just interested, not doubting, but who was doing the liveupdates on extra time? Seems odd to have someone doing the live updates, and someone else doing the actual match report, as it was pretty neutral (yes that is how I spent the first part of friday night - I'm total rock n roll me!).

I think it was the same fella doing both. The match report just expanded on the updates really. It's a good service in fairness to extratime.

[Darkglasses]

It's the official attendance given by the club.

Well the stand has exactly 609 seats, it looked liked if everyone standing and in the wine-bar went to the stand it would be full and then some. I don't know what the reason is, but I don't think that figure is accurate!

Feckin' GAA fans. :rolleyes:

[wonder88]

Very poor attendance at Tallaght, seems like most of Shamrock fans are just event junkies like the Dub GAA fans as stu pointed out.

Setanta cup, LSC, League cup, FAI cup, europe, and the league games. Seems like Shamrock Rovers fans have been hit by the recession and cant afford to attend every single game.

We're in the same competitions (apart from LSC) and we managed to get over 2,100.

15 euro on a monday night for a game is a bit severe especially if you've travelled to away game a few days previously to support your team. I guess guys have to plan to go to one or the other if they cannot afford both, and to see your team play at home and be home early enough yourself afterwards looks appetising

not trying to bash the country club supporters but surely there is less competition in those areas for a punters euro than there is in Dublin?
And I'm from and living outside the pale so not fighting the dubs corner.

Drogheda United v Shamrock Rovers: 1553

yes, but we plan on stayig in europe beyond a couple of games

And that has anything to do with attendances...how?

[pateen]

What was the attendance at Windsor anyone know?

[askmehoop]

And that has anything to do with attendances...how?

more games in europe means more travel, more games to attend

[poster]

So they won't go to a Setanta game because they MAY have a European game to go to in four months?

I think I love you.

no, we have high expectations in europe, i know its hard to have them when you come from your part of the world. and the fact noone really gives a s**t about the SC

[PartySaint]

Askmehoop, come on, You don't really believe a game you might have in July/August affects the crowd at a game in March? 1,500 is a good crowd for a SSC on a Monday night. Great crowd in Sligo as well. How many away fans were at both games?

[askmehoop]

:love2:

whatever floats your boat

all im saying is we have a s**t load of games, SC isnt that popular. and i think that goes for most supporters of other clubs

[bullit]

I seen an estimate somewere of around 2250

[born2bwild]

Are you expecting another Icelandic volcano?

[askmehoop]

Are you expecting another Icelandic volcano?

yes..........

[sligoman]

and the fact noone really gives a s**t about the SCDid you not hear what happened the Glentoran fans bus?

[askmehoop]

Did you not hear what happened the Glentoran fans bus?

someone always take things too literal :D

[nigel-harps1954]

Pretty poor home crowd so. There must have been about 800 or 900 Derry fans there.

[brendy_éire]

What was the attendance at Windsor anyone know?

1,781 was the official attendance.

[Dunny]

647 from Derry

Not really surprising. Linfield dont give a crap(unlike Sligo) about the SSC

[redobit]

more games in europe means more travel, more games to attend

Ah, thats prob why they didnt travel to travel to Tolka on a free bus then so

[BonnieShels]

I wish Rico took the Sligo job and then he could be literal...

"They don't give a sh1te about us over here"

WTF are you on about. take a look at the attendance figures from last season mate, Rovers are by far the best supported team home and away

[wonder88]

First competitive home game of the new season for Shamrocks, yet only a small crowd turn up, perhaps the decline of the new rovers has started already. It is not a good sign when one looks back at what happen during Jim McLaughlin reigns and after the move to the RDS; good support at the begining followed by a steady decline leading to the clubs going bust.

Ask a Shamrock Rovers fan who hasnt been a fan for more than 5 minutes.

Ahem.... we'll have to see now that City are back in the Premier :-D

i dont know any

[PartySaint]

When they have home game they don't really bother with it but they have been by far the best away supported team in the Setanta since the beginning of it. Our first game against them they brought 1,000 to Richmond and 2 years ago they brought 11 buses down on a Tuesday night. Unbelievable away following

would be nice to have them play in the league down here with away figures like that

I don't think many of the attendance at the Showgs are too excercised about the SC (bar the 50K prize money). I think most went because they were interested in the new squad/manager. I was at Tolka on Friday but couldn't go on Monday due to family commitments but I would loved to have went to see how we shaped after the Shels game.

The gate at Tallaght had to be disapponting to the Shams board, first competitive game, new manager and new players (how many travelled). While I might be tempted by the 8/15 on Shams to retain the league title, I wouldn't take it about them being the best attended club this year even though they have Dublin advantage.

[PartySaint]

Would that be the Dublin advantage of having 4 other clubs to compete with? I'd wait until after Friday before we start talking about their attendances

As I have said before, there is a lot to have a pop at Rovers about (and I enjoy it) but crowd numbers isn't one of them at the moment

Disappointing? Disappointing as having the locals take a few craps on the away teams supporters buses? Disappointing as having a manager leaving you high and dry couple of weeks before the season starts when you should have ditched him when he touted himself to Derry.

Season ticket sales at Tallaght are higher than your average attendance....wouldn't get too worried about the attendance at the Cliftonville game...

Those teams have a huge population base to draw in comparison to most teams and a short distance to travel for Dublin derbies, furthermore Bray Drogheda and Dundalk are mere commutes so 7 out 11 home games ought in theory to have larger away crowds that is the Dublin adavantage.

Shams have had surges followed by troughs in support before so who is to say that history will not repeat itselfbut no matter what **** you throw the gate again the Red's was poor.

[citybone]

I would like them in our league too yes but they could not keep those figures up if they had more then 2 trips down south a year. Im sure there away crowds would still be 3 figures consistently unlike most clubs (bar Rovers,Cork, maybe Derry) but not 4 figures that often.

Shamrock Rovers Vs Lisburn Distillery Setanta Cup Quarter Final March 2011 - Admission 10 Euro Attendance 1500
Shamrock Rovers Vs Cliftonville Setanta Cup Quarter Final March 2012 - Admission 15 Euro Attendance 1500

[citybone]

€20 for the semi's in front of 1500?
or €10 and get 3000-5000
or maybe 15 for 2000-3000

Shamrock Rovers Vs Lisburn Distillery Setanta Cup Quarter Final March 2011 - Admission 10 Euro Attendance 1500

Was the Distillery game the first competitive home game last year?

[gufcfan]

Less than 150 in Terryland Park, despite Devon comping all their members and having tried to give out tickets to anyone who would take them around town. Not many took them up on their offer obviously. Galwegians see them for what they are.

Salthill Devon reported the attendance as 347. The double-vision that has afflicted Mervue officials seems to be even more serious in Salthill.

[gufc2000]

150? Enough said. 500/600 hardy and loyal fans left without a team to support for the 2nd week in a row while two clubs can barely cobble that between them. The mind boggles
