Attendances

[Cosmo]

Thought myself there was 3500 MAX at rovers V bohs

[paudie]

Around 4,000 at City v Drogs last night.

That would be my best guess as well.

[Slash/ED]

About 1500 at Longford-Shels

Would have said more myself but you'd know the ground better than me I suppose. How big is the main stand?

[Longfordian]

Main stand holds about 1500, could have been more I suppose was trying to have a conservative estimate..maybe closer to 1700..I'm not great at crowd guessing

[patsh]

I wasn't coming up with a figure, just commenting on your assertion that both stands were full and St Anne's (which I am assuming is th uncovered seated area behind the goal) was nearly full. Watching on tv that was clearly not the case.There were a few odd emptty seats in the Derrynane, and some empty seats at the St. Annes end of the Donie Ford. Both stands were nearly full. I've put the adjective before full, especially for you......;)

[Colm]

The Echo has City v Drogs at 5000 and I reckon that's about right. Might have been slightly less but definately 4500+ anyway.

5500 at City v Derry.

[the 12 th man]

fwiw, evening herald had cork v drogs @ 4000

[Carlin]

Bohs 2504 (2625) (missing Derry 2)


Bohs v Derry -864 official :(

Bohs v Dublin City - 1200 guesstimate

[exile]

being honest no fans will what there attendence is at their respective grounds till el clubs finances become more transparent

[carrickharp]

Approx 700 Kildare v Harps

[jimhacker]

You can chalk down 8,000 + for City vs Bohs!!!!!!!

[pete]

While home fans can be a bit optimistic with guesses they have better chance than people not at game or who don't know ground.
Becomes a lot easier to guess when counting seats as opposed to terracing. No one really knows how many can be got into the shed at the cross when the seating areas are well known...

[Dr.Nightdub]

Rovers v Pats about 1500 last week

[Slash/ED]

Around 2,500 at Shels V Waterford I think.

[pineapple stu]

I'd say about 500 at Dundalk-UCD last week, though I don't know Oriel that well and it was hard to see the empty seats in the stand as they were so dark...

Will be able to update this again shortly when the computer at home comes back from the doctors...

[pineapple stu]

1,000 (http://foot.ie/showthread.php?t=19716) at Longford-Waterford last night.

[patsh]

According to the Echo, there was "9,000 plus" in the Cross last night.

I would certainly have put the attendance at well over 8,500, as there was barely room to walk in the ground.
There was an underage international out there a year or two ago that had an official attendance of 9,000 and it looked just as packed as that last night.

[GalwayFrancis]

how many were at the shels match at richmount?

[Slash/ED]

How much does Richmond hold? Looked to be just a little under full from where I was.

[anto eile]

the star gives the crowd for shels pats at 4500

[Dr.Nightdub]

I'd say 4500 is a bit on the high side. Richmond holds 5500 officially and you'd easily have got another 1500 in the Shed, there was a big section of the upper Camac fenced off as a no-man's land and at full time, not that many Shels fans came on the pitch from there so it mustn't have been full. I'd say 4000 tops.

Still about four times better than our normal home crowd these days, and at a tenner a skull on average we'll happily trouser the extra €30k

[Slash/ED]

The Carmac looked full to me from the stand.

[pineapple stu]

5000 at Harps v. Dundalk by all accounts.

307 at UCD-Kilkenny.

[Roo69]

5000 at Harps v. Dundalk by all accounts.

307 at UCD-Kilkenny.

Monaghan Vs. Bray - 200/250

[town73]

Just saw Irish Times listed the attendance at the Dublin City vs Rovers game at 1100. Assuming it wasn't a typo, was it because it the last game of the season that the crowd turned up?

Rubbish no more than 400 at it. And they were all Rovers fans............

[trevy]

I've been told about 900 at the Waterford United v Derry City game Friday night.

[pete]

City v Bohs (last game) 8000. All tickets sold & more...

Will there be a final tally released...?

[Colm]

I can assure you there was 10,000 there.

[town73]

about 1,000 at Longford vs Drogheda game last night.

[ShelsTim]

I can assure you there was 10,000 there.

Ah, come on now, there was at least 4 million in the ground with about another 17 million outside trying to get in, but, sure, the ground can only hold so much, eh?

[martin_rules_ie]

fun-nay guy! what was your average attendance this year, excludin euro games!!!! ;)

[Slash/ED]

Around 2,500 according to this thread. Of course, every other team in the league gets ten times that don't they?

[Colm]

You can try and belittle City's attendance all you like but the FACT is that there were over 10,000 people in Turners Cross last Friday (only about 100 of them were Bohs fans) to see City try and win the league.
Shels only had about 1500 fans in Richmond to see them win the league for the second year in a row, that is an absolute joke and if I were you I'd be extremely embarrassed.

And you'd know that because...?

[Colm]

I watched a recording of the match on Saturday and that's what it looked like. There were about 300-400 in the stand and probably another 1000 on the Camac and there were less than 1000 on the pitch at the end celebrating! :rolleyes:

If you're disputing this please tell me how many Shels fans you thought were at the game?

How the hell could you see who was in the Carmac on the TV? There was around 1,000 on the pitch but the stand was still full of Shels fans (Or the Pats fans were nice enough to dress in our jersys, celebrate our win, sing and clap the players like you'll probably try and tell me). I've no idea how many where there since we were allocated only a small part of the stand and the rest of the support was completley mixed in with the Pats support in the other sections of the ground. You also have no idea how many were there.

[pineapple stu]

Right. Final end-of-season tallies (unless people fill in some of the gaps, in which case it won't be. Thanks to all for contributing. Hopefully we can do this again next year and see what sort of change there is. For what it's worth, we have 89% of Premier Division attendances and 72% in the First. I have an Excel file of this - if anyone is interested, PM me your e-mail and I'll send it on.

Usual rules - last season in brackets. All missing matches are in the first round of matches unless stated.

[Stevo Da Gull]

Bray 834 (missing Limerick 2)

I'd say between 500 and 600 (a 550 so) in our final hamoe game -V- Lims.

I'd say around 250 for the game in Cobh.

[ShelsTim]

fun-nay guy! what was your average attendance this year, excludin euro games!!!! ;)

Yeah, you make a good point, we've by far the lowest support in the league, just look at the facts:

Bohs 2340
Cork 4033
Derry 1780
Drogheda 1554
Dublin City 592
Longford 1131
Pat's 1882
Rovers 1466
Shels 2079
Waterford 1753

But, wait, they don't agree with the Cork point of view. Must be fake. ;)

[Dr.Nightdub]

How the hell could you see who was in the Carmac on the TV? There was around 1,000 on the pitch but the stand was still full of Shels fans (Or the Pats fans were nice enough to dress in our jersys, celebrate our win, sing and clap the players like you'll probably try and tell me). I've no idea how many where there since we were allocated only a small part of the stand and the rest of the support was completley mixed in with the Pats support in the other sections of the ground. You also have no idea how many were there.

Not true. Richmond was segregated for that match - as usual, that means a thrird of the stand for away fans (it holds 1800 so that's 600 Shels), behind the turnstile end and on the upper Camac. We had the other two thirds of the stand, the Shed and the lower Camac. I couldn't see the upper Camac cos of the TV gantry being in the way but I know a section of it was cordoned off as a no-man's land.

[Slash/ED]

Well it can't have been segregated too well as there were Shels fans in the Pats support in the Carmac. I heard some even went to the Shed, for a while at least, not sure though you can't make out what's going on behind the hoolie fence.

[De Town]

Notice how every club who had last season average, their attendances have all gone down. :(

[Slash/ED]

I think that's due to an effort being made to try and keep the guesstimates as conservative as possible rather than attendences falling across the board.

[Dr.Nightdub]

Notice how every club who had last season average, their attendances have all gone down. :(

That's the only thing worth considering. NONE of us are in any position to start cliaiming the high ground re attendances (and I include Cork in that).

[MariborKev]

Pineapple Stu?

For the Derry ones? The Cork and Waterford ones I assumed are the rearranged ones

Cork game 1,400
Waterford 1,000

[ShelsTim]

That's the only thing worth considering. NONE of us are in any position to start cliaiming the high ground re attendances (and I include Cork in that).

Ah come on now, Cork have a bit of a right, they're almost double the nearest rival.

[Dr.Nightdub]

There weren't four and a half Premier Division clubs in Cork last season. Granted they're better than anyone else but 4000 is nothing to crow about either.
