2005 Attendances

[Schumi]

Saw 1500 for Bohs-UCD in The Star.
That sounds about right. There were a few in the Shed and the Jodi was about half full.

[pineapple stu]

Saw 1200 mentioned elsewhere (Bohs forum, I think). Anyway, official figure will be out in a week or two.

[Sheridan]

150 estimate for DC-Sligo is just frivolous nonsense, but the 800 quoted by several other sources is equally preposterous. It was around 350-400.

[monutdfc]

The weather wouldn't have helped crowds this weekend.

I'd estimate about 130-150 for Monaghan United v Galway United. It was on a a Tuesday evening which didn't help, Galway usually bring a fair support to CHP when we play them on a Sunday.

but sligo say they had around 500 at the match??? :eek: :rolleyes:

Yeah, I read that. Perhaps they were crouching between the seats.

[Cosmo]

In fairness, I would've said there was more than your 200 estimate down from sligo

Oh ya, my victory dance is in full swing. My guesstimats for other grounds tend to be sh1te. I think its a bit rich a DC fan and a galway fan laughing at our attendances. We had more fans from sligo at Richmond than there we're DC fans, no doubt and not hard. 319 at the Galway- Athlone game and your havin a laugh at us, pathetic.

[Da Real Rover]

Around 3/4 of the main stand was full = 1125
Around 150 in Jinks Avenue = 150
Around 100 in the shed and standing
outside the shed = 100
Around 50 at the Railway end = 50
The Attendance = 1425
Give or take a hundred.
Decent attendance though for a monday game and if my calculations are correct 4.4671 times as good as the galway attendance.

[Battery Rover]

About 230 at the Athlone vs Limerick match tonight. Maybe 30 from limerick.

Dire match. Bad night to be holding matches as all the local clubs train on Tuesday and Thursdays. Probabaly about half the die hards missing due to these commitments

[Da Real Rover]

New Stand holds over 2,000, i made it biggest gate of the season and new stand was more than 3/4 full
Ill try to be civil about this and tell you that you are completely wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. Dont just take my word for it check Rovers website, the new stand holds 1500 and it was 3/4 full like i said and that makes 1125, like i said. Get your facts straight and id say our Limerick game was probably our best attendance this season. My home attendances tend to be accurate.

Decided to take the 100 that was offered me on the most recent Sligo attendance, so it's in at 1350.

[Cosmo]

Our attandances must've been over exaggerated this season I reckon there Pineapple - defo down from last season (which ye saw yourself) and defo doesnt have an average of 1700 this season :( ).

Our average this season is only around 1200

[Terry]

GUFC v Athlone was 319 as stated before.

[Poor Student]

Our average this season is only around 1200

Is that your personal guess Cosmo or something you've actually heard? We're not usually so far off the mark except with Cork. :o

My personal guess but I was also talking to a lad that does the gate this morning and we just got into the conversation on our sh!t attendances this season. He was just talking at the top of his head but he was saying our couple of good attendances at the start of the season were around the 1700/1800 mark. Only around 1100 on friday and he was saying a rough estimate for the season wouldn't be far off the 1200/1300 mark (just at the top of his head in conversation though but hes usually spot on with figures).

Dont know about figures wise but just from being in the ground at matches you can see theres a drop in attandances in united park this season unfortunately

That was the Longford game? Will put that in. I know you've mentioned before about the Drogheda attendances alright. Suppose there's nothing we can really do unless yer man wants to give us figures? I think some of Drogs' figures last year were official, while none are this year, and it's hard to estimate the terracing.

[Cosmo]

yeah that was longford. eh well there's official and 'official' - i shouldve been asking him all season after every match (and correcting a couple i saw was wrong but i very rarely go into this thread because of some supporters blatent lies and overexaggerations :rolleyes: ) but I just couldn't be ars*d ;) :)

[Lim till i die]

:eek: :D
Great Hatred. Little Room. Too much Free Time :D

[WindmillWarrior]

1,112 given in the paper for the Drogs v Longford game. Sounds official to me.

[thomas]

Clubs are required to fax the attendance to the league within 60 minutes of the end of a match so surely actual official attendances are available?

[Da Real Rover]

:eek: :D

I wouldnt call it hatred, more like a dislike. Like if you had a cockroach stuck to your shoe, too small and insignificant to hate but it does irritate ya alot.

Not unless the league release them in turn. Which they don't and have no intention of doing.

[Speranza]

2500 for city vs bohs according to city forum.

think what the crowd could have been if it wasn't a weekday night

[pineapple stu]

394 at UCD-Harps. Lowest of the season by a good bit, but still up on the 293 for the same game last season.

A bit rich coming from the pikeys, BTW when are you going to give back all the gear you robbed :D
Not the first time ye robbed your own, I believe you stole the advertising hoardings at Rathbane years ago for the aluminium :eek:

[DonO'Bate]

Official attendance 1,008.

[gael353]

Limerick were an attractive footballing side last year....

[Partizan]

Waterford v Derry approx 1300

C/\wk v Waterford last night 5500.

[Buller]

1,300 is a very decent crowd for waterford considering their circumstances...

[Frankfurt Hoop]

1800 at Rovers v Pats. Posted by a Trustee/Director on SRFC Ultras Board.

[De Town]

1800 at LTFC v Bohs.

[Comic Book Guy]

350 at Cobh Ramblers/Athlone

[pineapple stu]

About 200 at Dundalk-Dublin City, from a lad in work who went up.

[Countyman]

In a nutshell are the average attendences up or down for each division in comparison with the last season that ran from Autumn to Spring?

[pineapple stu]

No idea. Don't have any even-vaguely-reliable stats.

[thomas]

Yeah official attendance 1751 for rovers v. pats.

btw, the league marketing director recieves attendances from every club as part of the licence requirement. dunno if its for public use or not.

Its a small step but the league has to get attendance figures. How else can it tell if the league doing better...?

[pineapple stu]

Dunno if it's for public use or not.
It's not. We've asked.

[Slash/ED]

I PMed Fintan but he didn't get an offical attendence for the Drogheda game but guesstimated around 2,200 which I'd go along with.

[Breifne]

Kilkenny 138 (110) (Dublin City (2))

If this was the second game in Kilkenny, i would guess at about 200 / 250. A decent crowd considering neither side have huge support.

haha


its just gets funnier and funnier


copious pics all over teh net of an empty ground with drogs fans in the small main stand (not full) and a couple of hundred in the hooligan tunnel stand

[pineapple stu]

3406 is the official figure for Cork v. Rovers a couple of weeks back, from the other Cork forum.

Worth noteing the guesstimate from Cork for this game was 5,500 :)

[superfrank]

I'd say around 1800 tonight at the Bohs-Bray match.
