2005 Attendances

[SÓC]

2132 according to Neil on our board - loads of Derry fans, maybe 300? and loads of noise

Nowhere near 300 Derry fans, unless there were more there than the ones who were shown on eL Weekly last night?

[SÓC]

I think his point is that there are other seats for them to sit in, though? It's not as if Cork (much as you would have us believe) sell out every game and people sit in the open stand by necessity.

Other seats yes, other covered seats, no

Yeah from looking at el weekly last night, it was much closer to 100 than 300.

[bohs til i die]

Yeah from looking at el weekly last night, it was much closer to 100 than 300.

there was somewhere between 200-300 Derry fans scattered between blocks A, B and C. Most were in block A but there was quite a few groups of Derry fans in the next 2 blocks.

[Countyman]

kildare county v Mons 125people

[monkey magic]

anyone at the sligo-galway match l/nite, gud crowd? great win for sligo..

[gufct]

900 over 250 from Sligo desperate night wettest ever in Terryland.We were crap but Sligo are the best team we have played so far. Major cahnges for Sunday i would say.Just a note the plonker in the league who fixed the 1st set of midweek games on the same night as the champions league q/f's should be shot it probably cost GUFC €7,500 on the gate.

I thought about 250ish so that sounds about right. Partly because of our new and improved for 2005 'wall of noise' crack drumming and percussion team (who would put Stomp to shame), some of the oldies prefer to sit a few blocks away to protect their hearing aids :D .

Always a pleasure to go to Dalyer, whilst the fans may have a recent rep for turning on their own team, we're always very well received there.

Also, am I the only one that sees the irony of Cork fans accusing others of inflating attendances? ;)

Cork fans NEVER inflate attendance figures.
It's not our fault if the rest of the country cannot count.

You sound like George Bush!

[pineapple stu]

Between 400 and 500 at Lims-Kilkenny, according to the Limerick (http://foot.ie/showthread.php?t=23818) forum. Still higher than anything last season, even though it clashed with the Champions' League.

Patsh, I was looking everywhere in that post for the wee winking 'smilie'. I think you left it out......

Well fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, eh you eh won't fool me again......

Probably should have put a smilie in my post for those who do not recognise a little humour......;)

[gael353]

650 on a crap night weatherwize and football on tv.

[BobtheDrog]

wud guess about 2000 at the pats game but thats only a rough estimate

[pineapple stu]

1200 (http://finnharps.openhosts.com/the_forum/) mentioned on the Harps forum for Pat's-Harps.

[pineapple stu]

600 (http://orielweb.com/dundalktalk/viewtopic.php?t=2665&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15&sid=3c1b2b0c7c6d5935e0ceb4c32232ad89) as a guesstimate on the Dundalk forum for Dundalk - Dublin City.
Just asked to point out that that game was in United Park, not Oriel Park.

[MariborKev]

As far as I know there were 2,200 in the stand at our game, with a couple of hundred standing on the far side but will try and get precise figures tomorrow

[Poor Student]

According to the radio 4,000 at Cork v UCD

[Dr.Nightdub]

1410 at Pats v Harps (official attendance, as announced over the PA)

[sonofstan]

Stand full at the RSC and people a couple deep all the way around the ground - what does that make? 2,500?

[CollegeTillIDie]

According to the radio 4,000 at Cork v UCD

Jayziz that's a poor attendance for City . :D

[pineapple stu]

According to the radio 4,000 at Cork v UCD
Nearer 3500 according to the other Cork forum (http://corkcityfc.ie/forums/index.php?showtopic=1704).

Amazing how team's attendances can drop off from the first day - they had 6,224 against Bray! Don't think Bray brought 3,500 fans with them! ;)

[Passive]

Shamrock Rovers v. Longford Town - 500


Eh, I know things are bad but their not that bad!
I think the Jodi holds 3,000 and I'd say it was half full. To their credit, Longford had an alright crowd at it.
Our fans turned up for the game, just a pity our midfield didn't.

that was last year's attendances for the equivalent games he was quoting; nearly got me too, but I knew there wasn't 3 and a half thou at the RSC last night

[adamcarr]

Nearer 3500 according to the other Cork forum (http://corkcityfc.ie/forums/index.php?showtopic=1704).

That would be accurate enough alright!

[CollegeTillIDie]

3,500 is an even worse attendance for City. Were the Cross diehards replaced in terms of bodysnatchers by mutants from the planet Fickle? :D

[ger121]

More like 90% full, was a lot of empty seats in and around me. 2000+ I'd say??

Read the post! That was last season's crowd! ;) Maybe that post should go in after a weekend's games?


Will put in 1500 for this year? Longford fans saying 1300 (http://foot.ie/showthread.php?t=23916), so seems to be some agreement anyway.

[pineapple stu]

2000+ I'd say??
We had this with their last home game too (how many people fit around a running track) - came up with 1900 for that. 2000 seems fair this time, I suppose - fairly similar crowd, it sounds like..

All pubs were closed on the day of the Bray match... :)

[WindmillWarrior]

There was a bigger crowd at our home game against Pats than there was against Derry. I would say about 2,500.

Bray v Drogs had just over 1,000 in attendance I would say.

[pineapple stu]

3000 Cork fans drinking on the day?! Wish I had their dedication!

Not a slag obviously - just a note as to how the first-day's attendances will drop way down...

[1 9 2 8]

It looked like 2,000+ at our game last night and 4 Limerick fans

[Comic Book Guy]

Kilkenny City v Ramblers, I counted the crowd just before kick off at 125 and no more than 15-20 people came in after that.

[gufct]

at Dublin City -v- Galway United smallest crowd I have ever seen at an el match in 30 yrs of going to them.Why do Dublin City exist.

[Roo69]

There was a bigger crowd at our home game against Pats than there was against Derry. I would say about 2,500.

Bray v Drogs had just over 1,000 in attendance I would say.

1600 actually

[Cosmo]

Didnt look anywhere 1600 to be honest

[Roo69]

Didnt look anywhere 1600 to be honest

I know. a lot of people were standing so didnt look like a big crowd really but was roughly the same as we had for the UCD game.

One of the papers had it at 2000 :eek:

[MariborKev]

3,100 odd at the Derry game

[trevy]

My guess is about 1700 at the RSC ON Friday night,about 1200 in stand and about 500 standing around the ground.

[Lim till i die]

It looked like 2,000+ at our game last night and 4 Limerick fans

I would have put it a lot less around 1600......and 4 Limerick fans :D

[pineapple stu]

What's your capacity now? Is the shed re-opened? Thought it was 2,500 at most last season?

If you can't make fun of yourself...
