Bray V Dundalk - 800

[MariborKev]

Derry v Bohs 1850ish

[adamcarr]

Cork 3970 (4147)
Id say that the X has averaged at more than that. I cant remember a game that had an attendane that low!

Bohs in Turners Cross was well below that. Not scoring points or anything, just saying.

It was absolutely pouring all day long. Fair Point though!

[pete]

Bohs in Turners Cross was well below that. Not scoring points or anything, just saying.

Think that was 1500 when would nrmally be something like 4500 so would bring the average down a lot.

[pineapple stu]

I'd say that the X has averaged at more than that. I can't remember a game that had an attendane that low!

Look back over the thread, you'll find a few. Derry and Drogs in at 3,000, Longford and Waterford (twice) at 3,500 and Bohs 1,700. All bringing the average down. Average without that Bohs game is 4,222.

'Bray V Dundalk - 800'

Are ye for real?? No more than 400 at it

[eamoss]

There was more then that! I asked someone who was there as well & he said 800 wile I would have said 600 or 700!

[Cosmo]

I must have only been watching the match with one eye open then

[Sheridan]

Miserable attendance at Dublin City-Derry, no more than 500.

[Terry]

According to some Derry lads there was 250 max ? :confused: :(

No there was about 400 / 500 there, but it was propably the worst game of football i have every seen.

Two own goals, no real chances other than our "messiah" Robbie Farrell trying to kill the corner flag on the other side of the goal from the corner of the six yard box.

I agree with you on the worst game of football ever but there is NO WAY there was 400-500 people in the ground unless 200 were in the bar or all at the toilet at the same time. Remember, you shouldn't really be counting players, subs or refereeing officials :D

It was so quiet two young fellas were having a lengthy clearly audible conversation with each other, one sitting in the Riverside, one in the Ballybough End.

There were 30 Derry fans in the Riverside, 150 fans in the main stand and a few stragglers at either end. And yes, I counted, it wasn't hard and it beat watching the match.

I've been to more entertaining masses.

Ha ha, I was at the game and noticed that myself, classic!

Btw you're right about the attendance, 200 tops I'm afraid.

from watching on tv3,i got a look at both ends and the main stand.the crowd was embarrassingly low.i estimated c.200,assuming the few dozen derry fans had te riverside to themselves.

as for Rovers v waterford,i reckon there was 700 max.

[pete]

5000 at the City - Shels game!

4000 would be generous.

1st half
Stand 1500 tops
Derrynane 1000 tops
Shed 1500 + others

[De Town]

1300 at Longford-Pats

[brendy_éire]

[pineapple stu]

U.C.D. Belfield Park 5,250


Belfield has 1276 seats, plus standing. Standing is arbitrary really, but 2,500 extra tops.

Can someone cut this off to a new thread, please?

[Carlin]

Bohs v. Drogheda
Monaghan v. Kilkenny
Cobh v. Sligo
Limerick v. Bray

Bohs v Drogheda was around 3000 (about 900 away fans). They'll have the official figure in the programme on Friday so I'd leave it out of the average until then.

[Dr.Nightdub]

Team Stadium Capacity
Saint Patrick's Athletic Richmond Park 7,500

Are these figures correct for the official Capacities of the "Soccer" Stadia in Ireland?

Official capacity of Richmond is somewhere around the 5,200 mark. But...record attendance AFAIK was a bit over 7,000 for the Pats v Cork league decider in April 1999. Go figure...

the dundalk sligo and monaghan figures are all a little too generous imo
dalymount holds 8500max. the shopping centre terrace is no longer part of the ground. 3750 seats on the connaught st. 1500 seats in shed,some standing space also.c2800 in main stand
saw cobhs ground on tv3 last week for the cup highlights,and i find it hard to believe they can fit 9000 into their ground
brandywell is less than 3000 for this year
flancare is 6500 dont know where the 10000 comes from
tolka is 10500-11000 since the new stand was built 2 years ago
turners x is 7500, then theres some standing space at the back of the sta nnes end.it would be 8000 max

[gufct]

Dundalk 503
Athlone 591
Derry 1,156

These are all Official and ill try to tie down the bray one but id be surprised if it was more than 400.

[monutdfc]

I've heard various figures for the capacity of the stand at Century Homes Park, from 440 to 600. (I've also heard various stories as to why it's built so far back from the pitch, and, it seems to me, at an angle also. Still no idea why though!)
There is a lot of work going on at Century Homes at the minute, that is due to be finished at the end of the summer. One end and the far side of the ground will be terraced, so while I'd agree that 6,600 sounds on the generous side it might be close to the mark when the work is finished. I'd go with 5000.

[aidz1]

a lot of work going on at the mo in century homes?????

me dont think so.....
the long awaited pitches for the juviniles and seniors is still on the long finger-only 1!!
the only thing i can see that has progressed is the new astro turf park-and its independent of monaghan !!!

[gufct]

3,500 until we build the new stand the far side.Work is at a standstill as the lack of Government and FAI Grants has stalled all work in most el grounds.

We had three games where we had in excess of 7,500 people in the ground all before the seating went in the new stand.

From couple of times i was there looked like stand doubling up as perimeter wall so maybe far away from pitch to save few quid there or else maybe were plans to move pitch later. Don't think ye'll need to fit 5000 into CHP anytime soon as only a few hundred at City games i attended there.

[pineapple stu]

2,500 at Cork-Dublin City per the Irish Times today.

[dortie]

Are we counting the cup games.....if so....

$helbourne v Derry.....850

Again I was shocked at the crowd, we had at least 150 of that.

[pineapple stu]

445 for UCD-Drums. Not counting them, but post away for general interest.

[ifk101]

2,091 saw Trelleborg vs. Kalmar last night in the Swedish Allsvenskan. This is in a country that has more than twice the population of the Republic and has a league that is twenty places higher ranked that LOI football. Plus top-flight Swedish clubs have only 13 home league matches in a season. There is no league cup and the Swedish cup is a disaster with regards to attendances.

Point is, considering the above, attendances for LOI matches is good.

[pete]

2,091 saw Trelleborg vs. Kalmar last night in the Swedish Allsvenskan.

But thats probably like Hoime Farm playing UCD or similar. Top swedisgh teams get over 20k for the big games.

Apart from the derogatory UCD reference ;) , have to agree (http://www.european-football-statistics.co.uk/attn/current/aveswe.htm)

[kevincronin2000]

What was the attendance for the "big" DUBLIN DERBY ON FRIDAY NIGHT between bohs and rovers

[Sheridan]

Around 1500 at Drogheda v. Dublin City.

[Carlin]

Bohs-Drogheda from a few weeks ago - official attendance 2654

El Derby attendance was about 2600 last night. Official attendance will be in the next programme.

[pineapple stu]

90 at Kilkenny-UCD.

[gael353]

There was 120 approx at the Sligo Rovers v Limerick game tonight. But its not the worst ive been to this year (the town is though) at the monaghan game a few weeks ago there was 37 in attendence.

[eamoss]

Dundalk V Finn Harps 300-400

[dortie]

2,500 at Derry v Shels (FAI Cup)

[pineapple stu]

Computer's been to the doctor, and has come back minus Office 2000, so I can't get at my Excel sheet with the attendances for the moment. Think this is correct, though apologies for any errors! Should have it sorted out in the next few days though...

120 sounds very low for Sligo given their previous lowest was about 500...?
