Attendances 2018

[MattB11]

935 in Finn Park, around 30 or so Shels fans most of whom didn't get in until around the 25 minute mark

[ToberonaTornado]

3563 at OP tonight.
Tad disappointed with that.

one of the new owners was in attendance at Oriel tonight.
started to rain about 9pm.
I hope he Noted the small Cork attendance on their uncovered side. and,when it then start properly lashing - the run for cover from our own fans on their uncovered side also?

[Dalymountrower]

2814 in Dalymount , good Pats crowd, deserved win for then we will struggle this season unless we can play Rocers

Home form not good enough again this season.

[Olander]

About 250 at the Bowl last night for UCD vs Galway United.

50 or so away fans.

Rocers!, Eyesight is clearly shot, just as well if I have to watch what we served up last night, for the rest of the season.

Again there looked to me to be more there. Shed was packed and that was before the rain. They were well off with the Bray attendance as well

[sbgawa]

No crowd announced at rovers. I'd say around 3k at most. Knew it was going to be poor when I came out of work at 6 and it was ****ing rain. I don't understand people not coming cos of weather but it's predictable at Tallaght. Having said that it is truly the coldest place to watch football , hopefully the new stand will help...

I was expecting over 4k at last nights game but the away support was limited as expected, however on the figure given by DFC, I don't see any benefit in the club releasing an incorrect figure.

[outspoken]

Think it was 425 at CCS tonight.

[bluemovie]

Looked about 1000 in Sligo on Friday night

[micls]

I wouldn't know oriel as ye do, but definitely looked a smaller crowd than I would have expected. Weather played a part I'd imagine, and being on TV. Wasn't surprised by the figure given

[red bellied]

1589 official attendance in Showgrounds against Waterford, about 40 away fans.

[The Donie Forde]

Be even less for any further visits, I would expect.
Many of the City travelling fans have crossed Oriel off their list already from bad experiences there.
The post match glass-throwing last Friday night will guarantee others will not return.
That aside, the days of standing in the open rain after a lengthy journey should be gone.
As a venue, Oriel is probably bottom of CCFC fans' list.

You say that as if its hasnt been said many times before for a number of years now....

Fair enough.

It must be disheartening for Cork players to see such tiny support.

If you listen to John Caulfield's post match interview he keeps talking about a hostile atmosphere that his team faced in the ground and how that impacted on his side.

In truth, the travelling numbers were so low and passive, that it's hard to imagine even less Cork folk encouraging their team and giving them some support

It doesn't really matter how many you have on that terrace noise wise though, the sound doesn't carry at all. Even when we packed it a few years ago, you could barely hear it even in the stand.

I'm sure it's nice for the lads to come out and see a crowd, but they're professionals and I'm sure they understand the reluctance.

Dundalk fans were very up for the game last night, and a bigger travelling support wouldn't have affected that atmosphere.

Given the longer distances and Friday night games, the lads are used to relatively small away crowds anyway in general. Same for most teams when they come to Tuners Cross. It is what it is. Once the home crowds stay good, they'll know they're being supported.

[outspoken]

That’s some sh1te of a comment from JC tho, if they found that hostile how do they expect to cope in Europe? He’s obviously just trying to deflect from his teams poor performance like many managers do but find something better to say than that.

[sbgawa]

I'm amazed he said the team were affected by the atmosphere it's a bit weak.

[sulywaterfordfc]

1589 official attendance in Showgrounds against Waterford, about 40 away fans.

The away fans number is a poor guess anyway considering two buses went to the game from Waterford not counting the fans that’s drove. The number was probably 100ish

[topfan]

Awful numbers in Limerick for what was a massive game. Terrible reflection on Limerick as a whole :(

[PartySaint]

Really good crowd in Dalymount, I was a few minutes late and went into the Jodi, walked down to the Pats fans at the end of the stand and it was full the whole way down, good Pats crowd in the Des Kelly as well.

Not sure how long that'll last for Bohs if they keep putting in performances like they did on Friday though

[Kingdom]

Bohs first half performance was fine. Moved the ball well, created some half-chances and generally were the better team. Second half was shocking though. Thought Garvan was a passenger throughout. Very disappointed.

[oriel]

He mentioned the hostility from 'the (Dlk) fans, the bench and their team'

Manage your own team John.

[The Donie Forde]

If you read my post correctly, you'd have seen it referred primarily to previous "bad experiences" there, plus another post match just last Friday.
I did add standing in the open in the rain, but that wasn't the main point.
City fans - perhaps others, I don't know - have been the targets of missile-throwing on several occasions now: this is the main reason our fans won't travel.
But feel free to ignore that and lament the small Cork crowd.

[White Horse]

No one in Dundalk laments the tiny away support. Perhaps, if there were more Cork fans there, your team wouldn't find the ground so "hostile".

We have a very mixed crowd wherever we travel, women and children as well.
Too many times that terrace has been an unsafe place for our fans. Having more of City fans there won't make it any safer - you're in the open, confined and sitting ducks.
These are the reasons City fans are travelling in fewer and fewer numbers to Oriel. Yet another incident last Friday, a dangerous one.
But, yeah, big up "hostility". Caulfield made some throw-away comments afterwards, referencing hostility. Anyone who pays any attention to what JC says in press conferences needs to go and buy some salt as a matter of urgency.
Your club should attend to public safety first and foremost.
This is all aside from it being unsuitable in the basics in this day and age. But let's not muddy the waters with that.
The issue - for City fans at least - is safety.

I agree with you that the safety of supporters visiting is paramount.

To be fair, the club have been quick off the mark to launch an investigation and commit to appropriate action against any offending fan who is identified in relation to the reported incident. They have also acknowledged the importance of ensuring that it is a safe environment for fans and visitors.

That aside, it is well acknowledged that the facilities for visiting supporters are inadequate - hopefully there will be some basic improvements in the short term. But please don't expect any tears to be shed over Cork fans deciding not to come and support their team. If that leaves Caulfield and his team feeling greater isolation and hostility, so be it.


I also agree with your point about Caulfield regularly making ridiculous comments that should not be taken too seriously - they are far less important, but much more entertaining.

I can only imagine how his captain is cringing the more he hears of his manager painting him and his team mates as some sort of snowflakes who get spooked by loud noises from supporters.

Not near that maybe 50, I sit directly across. There was about 15 early on and about maybe another 30 turned up about 20 minutes into match.

[El-Pietro]

4483 at the Cross. Decent rovers crowd ~400

[ToberonaTornado]

1609 Pats v Dundalk

Prob our lowest away crowd aswell at pats in a few years.

[nigel-harps1954]

About 200 people saw the greatest game in the history of football in Finn Park tonight.

Ok come on details

[wonder88]

384 at Bray which will bring the average for this round down. From pictures it seems there were empty seats in the new stand in the Brandywell, but I say it was close to a full-house. Any figure for Waterford?

[sulywaterfordfc]

Not near that maybe 50, I sit directly across. There was about 15 early on and about maybe another 30 turned up about 20 minutes into match.

Both buses were late, one came at half time as well

[sulywaterfordfc]

2.284 at the RSC last night

[patrickccfc]

That's a fantastic crowd for Waterford. Looking forward to our game there in a few weeks time.

[PartySaint]

1609 Pats v Dundalk

Prob our lowest away crowd aswell at pats in a few years.

Didn't think there was that many, not a bad crowd for us on a Monday, Dundalk is one of our biggest crowds of the season these days, shame it was on a Monday, decent enough Dundalk crowd.

[nigel-harps1954]

Ok come on details

It was 213.

[red bellied]

Both buses were late, one came at half time as well

Well they must of stayed in pub because there looked less of a crowd in away section for second half.

[Candystripe]

2,600 at the Brandywell v Limerick.

Reduced capacity for the game. Hopefully the Bray game we'll be allowed full capacity. Don't see any reason why not.

[monkey9]

What will the full capacity eventually be? Will there be any standing at all outside of the stands or literally just all seating?

From the guidance issued before Dundalk game, and re-issued for last night

http://www.derrycityfc.net/2018/02/dundalk-game-supporters-guide/


Terrace tickets are not available for this fixture, or any future fixtures in the Brandywell.

Course that's only tickets. While the suggested capacity of 3700, seems to have standing for 270. But you may want to find a more recent source

[Shearer]

1,341 at Limerick FC vs Cork City.

[ger121]

1,341 at Limerick FC vs Cork City.

Thought it would be a higher than that.

[osarusan]

Thought it would be a higher than that.


Under 1000 last weekend, lowest for quite some time. 8-0 and 5-0 don't really attract the casual fan.

2-300 from Cork tonight I'd say.

[RathfarnhamHoop]

Big crowd in tallaght, I'd say ~4,500

[ToberonaTornado]

2215 for Dundalk v Waterford(seemed like a lot more)

Also Dundalk gave an update statement concerning the few ******es who lowered the clubs name in an incident against Cork.

http://www.dundalkfc.com/dundalk-fc-statement/

[Asterix]

4200 the number given by rovers.
