2005 Attendances

[Poor Student]

2,197 official attendance for Cork City v Bray league game 9th Sept

Attendences are fairly low down there these days. :confused:

Attendences are fairly low down there these days. :confused:

Wasn't at the game myself so don't know what people expected the attendance to be.

Weather was manky all day up to about 6.00pm and was live on TG4. Also not sure if season ticket holders are included in the figure.

Doubt if there was more than 3,000 at the Sligo game.

[Poor Student]

TV plus bad weather. Makes sense alright. How many season ticket holders have Cork? I'd say they have to be included. A lot of British clubs include them regardless of whether they turn up or not.

I'd say a couple of hundred season ticket holders going by the seats marked reserved in the stand.

[WindmillWarrior]

Drogs v Bohs in the cup - 2,896 official.

[Terry]

was told between 200-250 for Athlone v Galway match

[EnDai]

According to Errortel 5000 in the Randy Brandywell last night. Certainyl seems about right, flowing with people.

[Slash/ED]

The stand only holds 2,500, that'd mean there were 2,500 on the other side of the ground, I'd be skeptical about that. It was an excellent crowd though.

[Partizan]

Waterford v Bohs:

approx 1700

[Poor Student]

Waterford v Bohs:

approx 1700

Be careful, the apparent increase in the size of the crowd was just the presence of Pat Dolan.

[Battery Rover]

Yeah about 250 is right.

Thank God the season is nearly over. It is getting hard watch that sh**te being played every week.

Next season a new beginning.

[sligoman]

Thank God the season is nearly over. It is getting hard watch that sh**te being played every week.The other day you were on about beating Rovers and Dublin City towards the end of the season, you dont sound too confident there:eek:

[Battery Rover]

At the moment no confidence whatsoever. Looking forward to John gill building his team for next year. We have about 5 maybe 6 players that should be kept for the new season.

It is like watching jeckyll and hyde from week to week. One week the team turns up and the next well.

The way things are at the moment it wouldnt suprise me if we did get results against them but i wont be betting on it. As I say above it depends on which team turns up.

[MariborKev]

3,300 paid into the Brandywell last night

However as this figures doesn't include complimentary tickets etc then we are probably looking at 3,500 at the game

[pineapple stu]

50 (http://foot.ie/showthread.php?p=360665#post360665) at Monaghan v. Limerick.

............

Is that the lowest of the season the whole eL?:confused:

[pineapple stu]

Of the figures I have, yes. Next lowest are 70 (Monaghan v. Kilkenny) and 80 (Monaghan v. Limerick). I have 100 against six games - all involving either Dublin City or Kilkenny.

[The Stars]

2300 at the Rovers v Dublin game....seemed to be alot more though.

Id have even said 4,000....there was no seats left in new stand, and alot were standing at the backs of them. The terracing was 40-50% full.

[The Stars]

Ha Ha,your funny.
The main stand was full,shed was full,Jinks Avenue(blue stand) was half full,and a load of people were standing around the place as well.

[michael]

Reckon about 370 for Cobh/Kildare. poor enough considering the team are going well:(

[Buller]

Ha Ha,your funny.
The main stand was full,shed was full,Jinks Avenue(blue stand) was half full,and a load of people were standing around the place as well.
So that would be around the 2,500 mark?!:confused:

The figures I gave are the official figures

[dortie]

Did that include season ticket holders ? Curious.

[1 9 2 8]

Close to 2,500 at our game with Dublin City. Biggest gate of the season

[sligoman]

Close to 2,500 at our game with Dublin City. Biggest gate of the seasonI think 2,300 was the official figure

[gael353]

............

Is that the lowest of the season the whole eL?:confused:

When the whistle went to start the game there was 37 in the ground. A 5 a side ended on the excellent facilities and a few of them came in for free. Great bunch though the Mons lads.

[MariborKev]

Did that include season ticket holders ? Curious.

Aye, we assume all season ticket holders to be present and add this to those paid in

[Dr.Nightdub]

Definitely well less than 1000 in Richmond for Pats v Harps on Friday. I'd say 800 or so.

[anto eile]

il guess 900 for Hoops v longford

[Poor Student]

It seems we've hit a point in the season where clubs doing poorly have seen their attendences collapse and some of the better doing clubs e.g Cork, Derry and Sligo are drawing very respectable crowds.

[Red4Eva]

i'd say 2300 is pretty much spot on for our game on saturday

[pete]

Same as any other season summer or winter.

[superfrank]

It was about 1500 at Bray-Drogs. Plenty of Drogs fans made it down.

[Poor Student]

Same as any other season summer or winter.

Don't get me wrong Pete, wasn't making an insinuation, just stating that we've hit that point.

Here is a photo of some of the crowd of Rovers Vrs Dublin

[Frankfurt Hoop]

1050, as near as damn it, for Rovers v Longford. Bogford actually played a bit of football, which was a pleasant surprise.

[pete]

Do teams going for promoting in the 1st division get bigger crowds than if they were battling relegation in the Premier? Can anyone from Bray, Harps answer that? (I've excluded Sligo as been a while since ye n Premier)

Bray, UCD and Dublin City all get more in the Premier near the bottom due to the away fans, particularly the Dublin ones.

[ColinR]

during our yo-yo years we tended to get significantly bigger home crowds for the relegation battles than the promotion runs. plus you also had the added extras of a larger away crowd for the relegation battles as well.

According to the stats here, UCD and Bray's crowds have about doubled this season from last year, though away Dublin crowds help. Harps are up 25% or so, although last year's final day crowd of 4000+ boosted their average by a good bit. Take that crowd out (I know you can't really, but anyway), and they're up 40-50%, I'd say.

[pete]

What i meant was "are harps getting bigger attendances battling against relegation in Premier or promotion in the 1st...?"

[Poor Student]

Pete, Stu just said above you, they are up.

Edit - have put Cork-UCD in at 2500. 3000 is mentioned elsewhere, which may be right, but just want to keep things conservative. The official figure will be announced in due course anyway.

[ColinR]

drogs-derry from an earlier page


Drogs v Derry. Official - 1,755.

[pete]

Some of those averages just don't seem right escpecially the Dublin clubs. Also don't see where Longford are getting 1000+ or UCD with 600.

[Terry]

Galway 607 (571) (missing Monaghan)
Recent matches missing -
Galway v. Monaghan





Around 300 I would have estimated:(

[Schumi]

Some of those averages just don't seem right...
UCD with 600.Don't have all the individual figures but I don't think there's been a game below 500 and the games against other Dublin clubs have been around 1000 so it seems perfectly reasonable.

100 max at this match
