2005 Attendances

[corkharps]

Far side is open- putting us up to 4,000. Hope to have positive news on the opening of "The Jungle" in the next week, putting us back to arround 6,000

Kevin,
3100 seems a bit high after looking at EL weekly last night.One end of the stand seemed to be half full(althought that might have been filmed before kickoff?) and there only seemed to be 150/200 around the far side? :ball: For once I'm not slagging,just interested! ;)

On a slightly different note,great to see the attendences at Sligo!If Sligo come up and we can hold on,it'll make for an interesting league in the NW next season, with Sligo, Harps and Derry. :ball:

[noby]

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


I would say about 1700 too. Seemed to be a few more gaps in the stand compared to the harps game. There defenitley wasn't more than the 1900 for that game.

trevy, I don't agree with your breakdown though. The stand capacity is 1200 or so, and it wasn't that full.

[manic da hoop]

I counted 45 at Dublin City v Galway on sunday, and most of them were from Galway :ball:

So where were the others from? Must have wandered in accidentally off the street and then held captive by Ronan Seery until the end of the game ;)

Weekend matches missing -
Athlone v. Monaghan
Dundalk v. Kildare

Increases for absolutely everyone except Dub City (understandable) and Kildare.

I'm assuming the figure in brackets is the average across all of last season though ? In which case it would be fair to expect crowds at most clubs to start tailing-off as the season progresses and their chances diminish.

Great to see big increases at Limerick and Sligo though. Makes you wonder where those extra fans are the rest of the time !

[gael353]

1085, dry but bitter wind blowing.

[GalwayFrancis]

between 700 - 800 at the galway-dundalk game....bout 6 dundalk fans :D
im sure the official att will appear here shortly, but for now thats a decent
guestimate

[pineapple stu]

505 at UCD v. Waterford. Including Paul McGrath and Mick McCarthy! :)


1085, dry but bitter wind blowing.
Is that an official figure, or are you just saying that 'cos it sounds better than 1100? ;)

Yep. However, there've also been a couple of big derby games so far - Bohs v. Rovers, Galway v. Sligo (though the league screwed up and had it clash with the CL), Pat's v. Bohs, Rovers v. Shels - all of which will bring the averages up. I think though that most of the individual match figures are up from last season.

well it was either 1083 or 1085 cant rem what was said as the official figure ;)

[Carlin]

1998 at Bohs-Cork last night.

[De Town]

About 1200 at Longford v Bray with maybe 100 from Bray

[pineapple stu]

2,364 (http://www.shelbournefcchat.100megs12.com/chat/viewtopic.php?t=2315&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=attendence+attendance&start=0) at Shels-Pat's.

[Slash/ED]

That figure must be wrong, it was our biggest crowd of the season I thought! It must either be a typo or didn't take into account the away fans or something, as was said there I can't believe it was our lowest crowd so far, doesn't make sense.

[Comic Book Guy]

Cobh Ramblers v Sligo (750)

[WindmillWarrior]

The usual at Drogs v Rovers. Around 2,300 or so.

[Countyman]

County v Athlone 240.

[Lim till i die]

well it was either 1083 or 1085 cant rem what was said as the official figure ;)

Official Attendance at Fridays game: 1087 :)

[monutdfc]

Very low crowd at our game v Kilkenny yesterday, even for us. Miserable wet day, FA Cup semi on tv, Monaghan county playing in the league semis scheduled for Clones, and with the wet weather I'd say very few decided to go to CHP when those games were postponed (but now I get to see the gaa semi next weekend :) ).
My guess - less than 100, 70 maybe?

[Terry]

I would guess around 400-450 at the GUFC v dundalk game

[Roo69]

About 1200 at Longford v Bray with maybe 100 from Bray

I'd go along with that.

[LFC in Exile]

Official Attendance at Fridays game: 1087 :)

Dat's right.

[monkey magic]

About 1200 at Longford v Bray with maybe 100 from Bray

yeah thats becoming a feature of de home matches too, its a case of the team having to bring the crowd to life instead of vise versa

impressive rise in attendances so far. was this the case at the start of last season as well or have they gone up on that too? any noticeable reasons or is it just a case of early season enthusiasm?

[pineapple stu]

between 700 - 800 at the galway-dundalk game

I would guess around 400-450 at the GUFC v dundalk game
Who's nearer here? Bit of a gap! :) Will put it in as 600 for now anyhoo.

[pineapple stu]

3,500-4,000 (http://finnharps.openhosts.com/the_forum/) estimated for the Harps v. Derry game. Will put it in as 3,500.

[pineapple stu]

This season v. Last season. I'm gong to put this in after the weekend, as it makes it easier to see the changes match-by-match and also seems to be confusing some of our poor readers! ;) I'm matching Round One games with Round One games (i.e. comparing the first meetings or the second meetings, as the second round of games seems to draw smaller crowds.)

Bohemians v Cork City 1998 (2004 - 2440)
Drogheda United v Shamrock Rovers 2300 (1200)
Longford Town v Bray Wanderers 1200 (n/a)
Shelbourne v St. Patricks Athletic 2364 (1600)
UCD v Waterford United 505 (n/a)
Finn Harps v Derry City 3500 (n/a)

Cobh Ramblers v Sligo Rovers 750 (150)
Galway United v Dundalk 600 (503)
Kildare County v Athlone Town 240 (175)
Limerick v Dublin City 1087 (n/a)
Monaghan United v Kilkenny City 70 (no figure to hand)

[pineapple stu]

Any noticeable reasons or is it just a case of early season enthusiasm?
The start and end had the biggest crowds last season; July and August were the worst. The figures will probably drop, but it seems at the moment like they won't drop far enough for the averages to be down on last season. Touch wood!

[GalwayFrancis]

Who's nearer here? Bit of a gap! :) Will put it in as 600 for now anyhoo.

out it in as 600, and we'll have the official at for you in a few days

We've yet to play any Dublin teams yet. Though with the current state of De Bohez I wonder if they'll bring much of a crowd in two weeks.

[Éanna]

around 3000-4000 at city v Drogs tonite
I would have said 2000-2500 max.

[Buller]

I was just watching the highlights of the Glentoran - Linfield league decider at the Oval on BBC's Final Score and there was a huge crowd! anyone know the addentance?! or a guesstimate..

[Patrick Dunne]

Was the official attendance GUFC vs Kildare County. As always, there were 100 + more in the ground.

[De Town]

10,719 or something like that was the official attendance. Will get it for you later.

EDIT: 10,419 is the official figure from Glentorans site.

[Buller]

[pineapple stu]

280 and 350 mentioned on the Dundalk forum (http://www.orielweb.com/dundalktalk/viewtopic.php?t=2710) for the home game against Limerick in United Park. Will put in the lower figure.
