2005 Attendances

[pete]

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

From who? 1 person?

:rolleyes:

[pineapple stu]

Almost every Cork guesstimate has been out by 1500-2000 so far. I usually take 1000 off the lowest guesstimate and still have to reduce the figure when the official figure comes out!

You're obviously not looking at my estimates so ;) Got any examples...?

[pineapple stu]

Well, you're the one who posted 5500 for Cork-Rovers!! :) http://foot.ie/showpost.php?p=317594&postcount=712

[pineapple stu]

Also, go back to the early 30s in pages - Cork-Longford guesstimated at 4,000 but actual was 2,376, while Cork-Bohs was guesstimated at 5,000 (brought down to 4,000) where actual was 3,600. That's just the last three games!

I only posted what saw elsewhere althouygh not obvious way i phrased it. What did i estimate for Bohs as i was at that game...?

Of course! ;)

You put in 4,000 for Cork-Bohs in fairness, versus 3,600 actual. In general, however, Cork attendances have been ridiculously overstated. Trust me - I've had to edit them every time! :)

See, just use my estimates ;) although i don't get down very often to the cross.

[Magnum]

I would treat “official” attendance figures with a degree of suspicion. It's in their interest to underestimate as well. Cough…revenue commissioners.

[Buller]

Pats -V- Derry: 1,295 (official att.)
Dont ask me how i know... :o

[Battery Rover]

About 200 at the Athlone vs Monaghan game tonight including maybe 10 from Monaghan.

We made a poor team look like premier winners giving them too much room. Pain in my neck looking at the ball in the air.

TG4?

Not sure how they got that figure as main stand looked to be maybe half full plus same on Camac - from tv pictures...

[pineapple stu]

350 in Belfield for UCD-Longford...woeful crowd... :o

[Dr.Nightdub]

Main stand had lots of spaces in it, was a third full if you scrunched everyone up together, that'd give 600. Maybe a wee bit more. No-one in the Shed or at the turnstile end. 1295 sounds about right, it looked around the same as most of our crowds recently, which have all been around the 1300 mark apart from derbies.

[Rebal Boy]

I'd say thats about right. 600 is the main stand, but on the other side when TG4 showed it. It looked like a fairly handy crowd from there. Shame the crowds are bad all around Dublin. I mean Shels are stuggleing to get 3000 at a home league game, thats not right. Their was 2000 at Bohs vs Bray says The Star. Not bad for a Thursday night.

[Sam Savic]

Worth noteing the guesstimate from Cork for this game was 5,500 :)
How could 3406 be the attendance at Cork V Rovers? That would mean the ground was less than half full. My estimate would put the crowd at around 5000.

[De Town]

350 in Belfield for UCD-Longford...woeful crowd... :o
with about 100 from Longford.

The Star said 700 :eek: :D

Sadly the star is talking out its arse. The official attendance was 1,110 one of the worst crowds I care to remember. Also the home game against UCD was something like 1,200 again not very good.

[Partizan]

approx 1900 at the Waterford - Rovers match at the RSC Friday night. crowd figure from a mate of mine who was there.

1300 V Derry.

[sligoman]

1600 at Sligo Rovers Vs. Limerick ;)

[pineapple stu]

approx 1900 at the Waterford - Rovers match at the RSC Friday night.
Rovers fans saying 1500 tops. 400 around the ground, 1100 in the stand (there's a picture of it up as well - looks fairly full alright).

[wws]

Pats -V- Derry: 1,295 (official att.)
Dont ask me how i know... :o


you were at the game?

Pats crowds are announced at every home game - possibly the ONLY thing we do correctly and professionally - other clubs and shelbourne take note

[Lim till i die]

1600 at Sligo Rovers Vs. Limerick ;)

Your taking the wee wee right :confused:
Main Stand - Barely half full
Shed end - 30 to 40 tops
Far over Stand - 100 tops
Our End - 5 :D

So whats that 800 -900 tops :confused:

[Lim till i die]

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:

That is absolutely libelous :eek:
Besides, theres no money in aluminium anymore, boss ;) :D

[Rory H]

Your taking the wee wee right :confused:
Main Stand - Barely half full
Shed end - 30 to 40 tops
Far over Stand - 100 tops
Our End - 5 :D

ya i think that isnt right...1200 maybe....

[pineapple stu]

Are the official site attendances a bit on the high side? (Think the fans have disagreed slightly with them before). Would it be fairer to reduce any attendance there by, say, 200?

There was no way 1200 there either, honest to God its one of my pet peeves faking attendances, I mean what exactly is the point in it :mad:

[pineapple stu]

In fairness, the main stand holds 2000, in which case, your own guesstimate comes out at about 1200.

[sligoman]

[Terry]

only 70 reported to have been at the Dublin city v GUFC match

[gufct]

maybe just over 100 with about 20 from Galway.I wont comment on Dublin Citys existence.

[paudie]

The Cork City chairman usually gives the official attendance for the last league game in the next programme but no sign of the Waterford attendance in last night's programme.

Hopefully these figures aren't going to become top secret again.

[pete]

City v Shels i'd go for 7000 as very few empty seats &plenty of people standing, shed also had more than official capacity.

[Pablo]

most papers had 7000 for last night. exactly what i estimated

[Red4Eva]

Your taking the wee wee right :confused:
Main Stand - Barely half full
Shed end - 30 to 40 tops
Far over Stand - 100 tops
Our End - 5 :D

So whats that 800 -900 tops :confused:

ii'd say 1300 is genuinely fair

[Breifne]

maybe just over 100 with about 20 from Galway.I wont comment on Dublin Citys existence.

I'd say it was closer to around 140 / 150, pathetic crowd, pathetic performance, come on whitehall.

[pineapple stu]

City v Shels I'd go for 7000 as very few empty seats & plenty of people standing, shed also had more than official capacity.
Capacity is only 6500 sure? There were a fair few empty seats around - not many, but still plainly visible. Will wait for the official figure to come out, but if it's over 6,500, I'm calling for City to be docked 8 points for lying on their UEFA Licence application! :p

[pete]

Capacity is only 6500 sure?

7500 Capacity.

Main Stand - 1850 (i'll assume that 100% full)
Derrynane - 1100 (i'd got for 900-1000 cos of empty Shels seats)
St Annes End - 3000 (i'd guess 2500)
Shed - 1500
Few hundred standing behind St Annes End & in front of the Shed.

I think 700 is safe enough, will be 2 weeks before official figure.

[Slash/ED]

I find it very hard to believe you'd fit 3,000 people in the St Annes end tbh

[Éanna]

Crowd was nothing like 7,000 at the cross last night. From what I heard, it might not even have been over 5,000 :eek:

[OneRedArmy]

I find it very hard to believe you'd fit 3,000 people in the St Annes end tbh

That would make it quite a bit bigger than the main stand in Derry, which runs the full lenth of the pitch and a bit and would make it about the same size as the Jodi..... :eek:

[Slash/ED]

Really? I would have put it at somewhere around 5,500/6,000 myself but I don't know how much each stand holds.

Slightly bigger than the Jodi in fact. There's no way it's even close to 3,000.

[anto eile]

according to corkcityfc.ie :
CAPACITY: 8000 – 9000
SECTIONS OF THE GROUND: Seating Areas; The Donie Forde Stand (1900), St.Annes End (2800), Derrynane Road (1185). Standing Areas; The Shed.

re st annes end: lets say each of the 5 blocks is 18X25 seats.that gives a total of roughly 2250 seats.another 250 would comfortably fit standing on the grass and at the sides, but i doubt that is officially allowed-no grass or loose soil/ground as per uefa licensing?

for a start,the capacity is nowhere near 9000. 7200 tops imo (if standing in st annes end is included). 1850 main stand, 1100 small stand, 1500shed, 2250 st annes end seats, 250 st annes end standing means the capacity is round about 7000 on the dot.

btw theres a good 360 view of turners x available on the cork official site.

i estimate the attendance last night was 6250.thers was about 150 empty seats on the derrynane side,and a couple of hundred empty seats in the st. annes end
'twil be interesting to see when the official figure is published.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Rovers v waterford on friday, id say 1250. 350 Rovers.900 waterford though i didnt get agreat view of waterfords crowd,though there were plenty of empty home seats near our section. doubt the crowd was anywhere near the 1600 mark mentioned earlier

------------------------------------------------------------------------
jodi stand at dalymount holds 2742

[Lim till i die]

Ha ha, made yourself look stupid there lim til I die:D. I alway's get the attendance off the Rovers site, so if there's a mistake then blame them. Why would I wanna fake attendances?

:o Oh Dear supporting the club from Hogan Park I guess I'm not used of gazing upon such magnificent structures ;) Wasn't blaming you for the 1600 thing either it's a bit of a pi$$ take from your website. The game against us earlier on in the year when we brought 4 up definitely but not the other night.

[hoops1]

How is Thomas Mc Gauley playing?

[Rebal Boy]

Theirs easly 7000 there last night. Donie Forde, Derrynane side and the Shed were all full. A few empty seats in the St. Annes end. Alot of people were standing up in the railings behind that goal too.

A highly skeptical source I'd say to be fair.
