2005 Attendances

[pineapple stu]

I'll let Pineapple Stu decide ;)
Rules are the lower of two reasonably thought out figures to counter overestimation, but in that game and overall, so 1100 it is. Plus, some of Partizan's figures have been questioned by away fans before, so I'm happy to round down here.

I didnt think there was that many at the Rovers game. I would have said closer to 2000 if even.

How the hell do you know, were you at the game by any chance. My estimation is 13-1400 tops.

Unbelievable, Trevy says its 1100 and its fvcking gospel, ffs the stand was fairly full, there was a load of us standing up at the back.

Serious underestimation on your part. And anyway who has every questioned my attendance figures only Trevy. Cop yourself on. :mad:

[pineapple stu]

Less of the hissy fit, Partizan.

Go back through your estimates for this thread and they've all been shot down by various people. You have 3000 (http://foot.ie/showpost.php?p=242892&postcount=81) at Waterford-Harps, including 1600 people standing around the pitch, where three Waterford fans and one Harps fan all said 2000. You have 3500 (http://foot.ie/showpost.php?p=270703&postcount=343) at Waterford-Cork; a Waterford fan and a Cork fan both disagree, saying 2300-2500. You have 5500 (http://foot.ie/showpost.php?p=327118&postcount=792) for Cork-Waterford compared to the official figure of 3159. You mentioned 1900 at Waterford-Rovers, while Rovers fans say 1500 absolute tops.

I mentioned at the start of the thread that I will always take the lower of two reasonable figures to avoid over-statement of figures. In light of the above as well, I don't see how you can have any grounds for complaint if I overlook your figure in favour of another one from someone who was there. I am not taking his figure as gospel - though it seems you want me to take yours as gospel for no stated reason.

First off, I admit the first Waterford - Harps game was wrong and I over estimated the size of the crowd for the Cork match in the RSC but I stand by the others.

The X was packed for the last Munster Derby and my figure of 5500 was agreed with by several Cork fans I met at the match. The St Annes end was fairly full and overall, the attendance was well up on last year's encounter.

As for last Friday's game, wnyone who said there was only 1100 there are way off. Even Martin Colbert, WUFC only remaining director, I hasten to add complemented the attendance the following morning on WLR saying that they were up on the previous games and that the Club now had some money in the coffers to pay the backlog in wages for the previous 2 weeks.

Go figure.

agree with 2000. about 450 shels.little over 1500 Hoops

[pete]

I would estimate 2500 for Cork City v Bray based on TV pictures.

[Red4Eva]

i'd say 450+ at athlone-rovers on friday. 3:1 in favour of rovers at least

Not a chance it was that low pineapple stu - 1,200 was my estimate at the match as was others on the dundalktalk website and people I was with at the match. It was definately at least 1,000.

[pineapple stu]

Think I missed a week there. Oh well. I'm sure you were all gutted. :) Update after the weekend. Last season in brackets. (2) indicates a match in the second round of games.

Thought Pat's gave out official attendances these days but I didn't hear one last week - would guess under 2,000 - say 1,800?

700 (http://www.orielweb.com/dundalktalk/viewtopic.php?t=2984) mentioned on the Dundalk forum for their first league match back in Oriel (v. Limerick last week)

That game was slow getting the crowd in, there was at least 700 in the stand alone. I reckon there was about 1200 in total at this. Will do a head count at the Monaghan game tomorrow at start of second half to see.

[thomas]

Rovers shels was 1956

[Comic Book Guy]

Cobh Ramblers v Dundalk (around 250), poor crowd but a 2pm kick off made sure of that. :(

[pineapple stu]

Updated. Have put Pat's-Bohs in at 1800 and upped Dundalk-Limerick to 1200 as three seems to be agreement on that. The thread on the forum started off with a crowd of 200, so it's possible the 700 was from shortly before kick-off.

[Duffman]

DFC v Mons last night in Oriel was a lot less than last week. 850 give or take was my count for it.

[holidaysong]

Yeah 850 is my estimate too.

[superfrank]

About 800-1000 at Bray-UCD. Pretty disappointing.

[pineapple stu]

Would probably tend towards the lower figure, but that's about right, I'd say.

[The Stars]

1700 Vs kilkenny.From Sligo Rovers website.

[chippie0001]

Bohs and Derry was a pathetic 1,423 fans, just over half the Jodi's capacity.

[The Stars]

why was it so low.Game between 2 top teams i would expect twice that.

[TheOwl]

Bohs and Derry was a pathetic 1,423 fans, just over half the Jodi's capacity.

Speaking of pitiful crowds.....

About the same at the Shels vs. Waterfrod game that was at the UCD game two weeks ago, which I think you put down as around the 1,000 mark. :(

[Slash/ED]

I would have said more at this than UCD to be honest, hopefully Fintan has an offical number.

[Carlin]

why was it so low.Game between 2 top teams i would expect twice that.

Only the hardcore turn up now. Everyone has jumped off the bandwagon :(

[superfrank]

You're not going to get many Derry fans travelling down the countyr on a Friday. What happened to the 3,000 that went to the Ghent match?

[Slash/ED]

Well like all European games especially in Dublin that included alot of fans of other clubs.

[bohs til i die]

there wasnt a huge number of neutrals at the Ghent game. Maybe a few hundred, but no more than that.

[Lim till i die]

About 300 at Kildare Co. v Limerick, maybe 30 Limerick fans

[1 9 2 8]

1600 at Rovers Vs MUFC 3/9/05

Some of the crowd Vs Kilkenny City (http://www.sligorovers.com/images/match%20pics/2005/09/10%20-%20Full%20House.jpg)

[pete]

Longford v Cork City. I guessed 600-700. Don't know how much the stand holds but would probably 1/2 fill if put everyone into. Need Longfordian who knows ground to gibe proper number

[pineapple stu]

2174 at the League Cup Final last night. Bout 500 Derry fans made the trip down.

[Red4Eva]

bout 400 at galway v cobh on friday. maybe less maybe more

[Terry]

bout 400 at galway v cobh on friday. maybe less maybe more


356 offical figure :(

[pineapple stu]

bout 400 at galway v cobh on friday. maybe less maybe more
Good man, Red4Eva. Very helpful! :p (Although you were within 50, which is fair enough...)

[gael353]

Id say just shy of 1000 so say 950. About 900 asleep such was the poor show by the home side. :rolleyes:

[pineapple stu]

800 (http://www.orielweb.com/dundalktalk/viewtopic.php?t=3015) at Dundalk-Athlone.

[mypost]

About 300 at Kildare Co. v Limerick, maybe 30 Limerick fans

300 is a very generous, and false figure. More like 150 at it, at the very most. Very, very small crowd! :(

What's the big counter-attraction on in Newbridge on Saturday nights, that stops the locals attending their side's games?? :confused:

[superfrank]

I'd say around 1000 at our match last night. More then there were at the League match a week before anyway.

[pineapple stu]

500 mentioned on the Kilkenny forum (http://kilkennycity.proboards20.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1124973269) for Kilkenny-Kildare recently. Will put it in at 400 to be conservative.

[anto eile]

Hoops-derry
3000,maybe 3100

[pineapple stu]

In the Cup? Sunday Times had 6000. Don't think the Brandywell holds close to that, to be honest.

[Buller]

Id say 3,500 people and about 4,000 max at the brandywell for the rovers derry match. Im basing that on nearly 3,000 in the main stand and then more then 500 spread out around the ground...

[Slash/ED]

The main stand iirc holds 2,500 and was by no means full.

[Poor Student]

In the Cup? Sunday Times had 6000. Don't think the Brandywell holds close to that, to be honest.

What the hey? Suits us if they're over bloating attendences.

[MariborKev]

2,700 at the Derry game
