2005 Attendances

[Patrick Dunne]

.. because Eircom League crowds don't come in multiples of 1,000.

I believe that the Sligo Rovers webmaster applied for the vacant position as
editor of Pravda, but he was turned down. Not even their readers could believe his figures. :rolleyes:

[higgins]

Pete I wasnt at the Cork Shels game so your figures may be correct I do not know ??

There are many posters here who make a guess and then are shown to be way over after an OFFICIAL figure is announced. You seem to have done it again in your most recent re-recalculation :)

I could not care if your gates were 200 every week or 20,000! Its just nice to get some figures on crowds around the league without the 'we got more then you' .....

As I said I wasnt at the games but is the amount standing around the ground really into the hundreds?? from any TV clips I see there is not many standing but of course there could be areas of the ground unshown on TV. Also the Shed is very small and a figure or 2,000 is way over the top in my opinion. For example what does the stand for away fans hold in Drogheda? That would be a lot bigger then the shed would it not? Even taking the New stand at Tolka it only seats 900! I know you fit more standing but isnt that both longer and much wider then the shed ?

I dont know the answers to the above questions but it appears to me as you and some others are going wrong in your calculations somewhere along the line.

The official safety approved figure for the shed is 1500 but that would be on the conservative side. Drogs away shed has big "steps" which doesn't allow much packing of people. The shed at the cross at big games will be packed so tightly very hard to get out from the middle.

I didn't want to believe it but I think official CCFC attendances low for an unexplained reason.

Very funny, dont make me go over old ground, the management committee dont count ground figures so we must guesstimate them. I think this sums up your bitter, jealous little minds, forever the small club trying to drag us down to your levels. Paraic got the crowd attendance right to within 110 people, so i think he deserves a clap on the back for getting the attendance correct and if it makes you happy we'll take a 1 from the attendances from now on, happy.

[higgins]

Big steps??
What has that got to do with the amount of people in the stand? Its the same flor area no matter how many steps you have.

Maybe Cork are saying the wrong figures ?? Maybe you all over estimate the crowds?? there is a difference somewhere along the way bu tI do find it hard to believe anywhere near 2000 could fit into the shed. Even from pictures of the Shels game the bit they showed was not overly packed.

[Slash/ED]

There's no way 2,000 is getting into the shed, just no way. Like Higgins said, 900 or so is the seated capacity of the Drumcondra End in Tolka, and that's bigger. Now obviously terrace holds alot more but not that much more.

If they don't their in violation of the licenceing regulations. I'm sure they do but simply don't publish them.

[pineapple stu]

Counted 890 at kick-off between Shels and UCD in Tolka tonight. Being generous, 1000 overall including late-comers, I'd say.

[higgins]

I was going to post somewhere around 800 to maybe 900 :(

Fair play to you if you went counting !! :eek:
Maybe counting the few standing around it could have been 1000 but thats the max.

For the 1000 that did turn up I think they got value for money. Shels for me played well and knocked it about on the ground really well at times. A small bit of shels from last season :) All we need now is to sort out Rogers and Hawkins!

[Slash/ED]

I'll PM Fintan who usually has the offical attendences, but it'll be around that mark alright. Sh*t crowd.

[DonO'Bate]

Attendance 457.

Approx. two hundred down from last home match. Just shows how a couple of defeats can affect the attendance.

[bohs til i die]

3500 at Bohs v Rovers.

[superfrank]

It was between 1500 and 2000 at the match last night.

[pineapple stu]

Fair play to you if you went counting !! :eek:
That was Schumi. It's an engineer thing, I think!

[patsh]

I don't know how many the stand in Flancare holds, but it looked to me like there was about 100 people in there last night.
What was the official attendance for Longford v WUFC, it looked absolutely shocking......

[chippie0001]

3500 at Bohs v Rovers.

Without the exact figure I would say closer to 3,100 or so looking at the drop in gate from the 1st game of the season. Maybe 3,200 pushing it but that would be it tops.

[WindmillWarrior]

The away terrace in United Park holds 700 or so.

what he said

For Rovers 3-1 gypos
id say 3400
2300 gypos
1100 Hoops

[Comic Book Guy]

Dublin City v Cobh Ramblers, wasn't at the game myself but a very reliable source told me the crowd at Whitehall was 250 max.

[Red4Eva]

i'd say there was 1500 at our walk in the park last nite

I find your figures very sceptical, youll never guess why, because a very reliable source informed me that Bohs fans dont come in multiples of hundreds and Shams fans dont come in multiples of hundreds.

[crc]

...Bohs fans dont come in multiples of hundreds and Shams fans dont come in multiples of hundreds.
What the hell do you want him to do, make up figures for the tens and units just so they don't look like round figure estimates??? :rolleyes:

1600 at the game

[superfrank]

Well I was right then.... :D ;)

You are some hypocrit.

[anto eile]

You are some hypocrit.
how? youre post was pointless.you wasted my time having me read it.

[Da Real Rover]

You wer questioning figures that were rounded and then you go and do the same, to me thats a hypocrit, and if your times so precious why did you bother to do the same, wasting my time too.

[pineapple stu]

Nobody cares!!!

Can a mod split the rubbish, please?

isnt there a rule for this thread?no debating,only allowed posting figures or something like it??

if a post doesnt contain an attendance figure,it should be deleted

as for rounding up- "real"rover, i find the idea of sligo getting 2000 at games unlikely.its one thing rounding a 1200 crowd to 1300, but dont jump from 1200 to 2000

:D :D, bloody hypocrit. You really are speaking through your arse, the official attendance was around 1890 and was rounded up to 2000, get your facts strait cause your just talkin sh!te.

[TheOwl]

Interestingly Sky Sports gave the attendance of tonights U21 game as 6,100 which they said was a "full house"

Could shed not very packed (easily get another 500 in there) & good few empty seats around.

[higgins]

I seen the shed on the TV tonight .. easily get another 500 in there?? I think you may get them in but not easily! :eek:

It would be interesting actually find out how many the shed has for each game. I think a lot of the cork posts who have wrong figures mess up by overestimating the shed :confused:

[WindmillWarrior]

Drogs v Derry. Official - 1,755.

[TheOwl]

I think Sky were just giving the capacity of the ground as the attendance because they stressed the "full house" aspect, and the roundness of the figure would seem to back this assumption up.

[pete]

Yeah Sky didn't quote any figure.

Official (fire safety etc...) standing capacity is approx 1500.

[TheOwl]

They quoted 6,100 as the attendence.

I reckon they found out this was the capacity and listed it, as this was a "full house".

This would explain why the Shels crowd was in the 5,000s but looked full.

[pete]

There are 5500 seats so don't see how 6100 is capacity. I think official capacity is 7000.

[TheOwl]

There are 5500 seats so don't see how 6100 is capacity. I think official capacity is 7000.

Well that means there was over 1,600 empty places at the Shels match - and it didn't look that many on the TV to be honest.

If the capacity is 7,000, then Cork's attendances should be investigated, as the only reason why I can see a club would want to under report their attendances is for tax evasion reasons.

And people talk about Shels and "biscuits tins" :rolleyes:

However, I think the likelihood that Cork fans are overestimating the capacity of their ground seems a more likely reality.

[superfrank]

I think they're trying to be the new Rovers. ;)

[Partizan]

approx 1400 in the RSC at the Waterford v Harps game.

[Buller]

id guess roughly 2,600 at dalymount for rovers shels match...

[Poor Student]

Schumi counted something just over 600 for UCD v Drogs.

[MariborKev]

1,711 at Derry v Longford

[gael353]

Bout 425 at the Limerick galway game. Game could have been called off due to some waterlogging as it rained heavily in Limerick all day.

[trevy]

approx 1400 in the RSC at the Waterford v Harps game.
I'd have said a bit less,maybe 1100 but a good crowd by our standards this season.

[Partizan]

Roughly about 1100 in the stand with 2-300 around the ground.

[trevy]

Roughly about 1100 in the stand with 2-300 around the ground.
First few rows in block d where I was and E were empty as seats were wet so I'd say 1000 in stand and 100 around ground.I'll let Pineapple Stu decide ;) .Maybe split the figures?

[Partizan]

I'm sticking by my estimate, 1300-1400. :)
