2005 Attendances

[Poor Student]

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.

In fact our average attendence was in the 700s the last time we were in the Premier Division.

You can't beat photographic evidence:D Why don't some of us take pictures on our phones at games and post them on here as they could back up some of the guesstimates and put down the knockers:p

Must have forgot that one. 1,120 is the figure.

And btw if you want a guesstimate for our away game against Rovers I would say there wasn't anymore than 1,200 at it.

FIRST

Dundalk 416 (591) (missing Kilkenny 2)

/QUOTE]

Reckon 700 at the Kilkenny game give or take. The Stand was about 3/4s full and I counted 180 on the old Shed side.

[Duffman]

Dundalk 0 Sligo Rovers 0 last night, there was in excess of 1000 at it. Sligo had a good amount of away fans too for the division, maybe 250 of them.

[gael353]

bout 475 and yet again it lashed rain all the way through.

[Speranza]

Fai.ie give's 3,500 as official figure for the derby tonight. approx. 1500 city fans travelled.

[GalwayFrancis]

i'd say about 400/500 for the Galway-Kilkenny match...lashing the whole way through!!!

Not saying 3500 not correct but fai.ie in the past just guessed numbers for our games.

[Speranza]

Yeah, how exactly did they get such an exact figure withing minutes of the game ending? In retrospect wouldn't rely on that figure at all.

[sligoman]

Our website has 900 down for our game in Dundalk;)

[Red4Eva]

Do the krusties still think that sligorovers.com exaggerates the attendance figures?

[The Stars]

they should count the attendance for saturday and compare it to the website....its the only way.

[pineapple stu]

Update after the weekend. Last season in brackets. (2) indicates a match in the second round of games.

Edit - 100 to 150 (http://www.kildarecountyfc.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=853&PN=1) at Kildare v. Dublin City according to the Kildare forum. Have updated the stats. Harps forum mentions 4500 for the Derry game, but says that's an unreliable guess from someone at the game. Will go with the 3500 from here until we get anything else.

Yes because it's amazing how yere attendaces are always in multiples of hunderds.Amazing that not once this season have yee had a crowd like...1561...2056..etc.How is it it's always 1500...2100 etc.:rolleyes:

[sligoman]

How is it it's always 1500...2100 etc.:rolleyes:Cos it's an estimated guess. Do you know what that is or do you want me to tell you?:confused: :rolleyes:

[Ronnie]

Only about 800 at Longford Bray

[Terry]

Do the krusties still think that sligorovers.com exaggerates the attendance figures?

yes:)

[Slash/ED]

No offical figures for Shels anymore I don't think, I'd have guessed around 2,500 at the Pats game.

[Éanna]

No offical figures for Shels anymore I don't think, I'd have guessed around 2,500 at the Pats game.
money getting tight ;)

[TheOwl]

No offical figures for Shels anymore I don't think, I'd have guessed around 2,500 at the Pats game.

I don't think there was that many, worst Pat's crowd (size wise, their actual support was good on the night) I have seen at Tolka in a while, understandable I suppose given their recent form, but the whole thing lacked the spark of a usual Shels vs. Pat's game. I'd say 2,100 would be a fair guess but I'm just completely guessing here.

Very poor attendance for the Shels/Pats match. A 1,900-2,000 would be my guestimate since the Richmond road stand was half full.

[MariborKev]

2,950 odd at the Derry v Rovers game

Very dissapointing.

[Stevo Da Gull]

guesstimate 1150 at The Carlisle last night

[chippie0001]

The crowd at Bohs and Harps was about 1,050, our lowest gate of the season I believe. :rolleyes:

[ccfcgirl]

The crowd at the Cork city vs Drogs on the 14-10-05 was around 3000-3500

[bluemovie]

guesstimate 1150 at The Carlisle last night

The Star gave it as 600. I'd be more inclined to believe them. It was very poor...so was the second half.

[pineapple stu]

I'd say about 800 at Pat's-UCD last night. Only a couple of hundred five minutes before kick-off, but it did fill up a bit. That's an uneducated guess though - any Pat's fans want to correct me, fire ahead. They don't seem to announce their attendances any more.

[Rebal Boy]

The crowd at the Cork city vs Drogs on the 14-10-05 was around 3000-3500

I'd say that was about right. The top part of the Donie Ford Stand was mostly full the Shed was full and the Derryanne side was pretty full too. The St. Anne's end was almost empty. That will all change next week. Atleast 7000 will be at next weeks game. I can't wait for that.

[sligoman]

2300(according to our website) at our game against Galway. Although, I'd say there was more cos the new stand was full and the old stand was 3/4 full and some fans at each end aswell;)

[gael353]

id say about 150

[Stevo Da Gull]

The Star gave it as 600. I'd be more inclined to believe them. It was very poor...so was the second half.

600-800 then, I remember The Star gave 500 (not exactly sure that this was the figure, dont want to land myself in trouble here) for one of our games before when I'm pretty sure it was nearly double;) , I'm confused (as usual:eek: ).

How full were the seats at the beginning of the game? I remember when I came in that Waterford's side of the shed was pretty full, the other side half-emty, and less than half of the space taken up behind the goal. When the rain started belting down the shed was packed and the rest of the place was fairly emty but I'd still say that 600 is a bit low:confused:

I wont complain about the second half myself ;)

[Red4Eva]

2300(according to our website) at our game against Galway. Although, I'd say there was more cos the new stand was full and the old stand was 3/4 full and some fans at each end aswell;)

i'd say it closer to 1900 with 40 galway fans(their "best away support for several seasons")

[Conor H]

Actually we had a min of 60.We filled a 52 seater and others drove up in cars.Get your facts right!.Best away support for sevral seasons....em...the cup game 2 years ago:rolleyes:

[The Stars]

best atmosphere ever that night i think ye will agree galway fans.

[Conor H]

best atmosphere ever that night i think ye will agree galway fans.
Ya without a doubt,both sets of supporters in full voice.One of the lads told me that he knows a sligo guy who said that night was the best atmosphere created by home and away fans in a long time in the showgrounds.

[1 9 2 8]

What drugs are ye two on the atmosphere was sh!te. The GUFC was support was very vocal but in the first half the SRFC support was dead in the second half a few chants of "Rovers" but that was it with a crowd of 2,300 I think it should be alot better

AH we are on about the cup game a couple of years ago not last night.:rolleyes:

[Roo69]

I would have said 1000 at the Bray V Waterford game myself

[NY Hoop]

2,950 odd at the Derry v Rovers game

Very dissapointing.

Why disappointing? Agree with your figure but seemed to be more than the Cup game. Because it didnt rain your old jungle was fuller than last time.


KOH

[pineapple stu]

Think it was 363 at UCD-Waterford. About 20 from Waterford, it seemed (was only in the ground for the last five minutes).

[holidaysong]

I would guess at 200 - 250 at Dublin City vs. Dundalk.
