2005 Attendances

[bohs til i die]

the main stand holds 3,200 afaik, the shed about 1,500. So 2,500 is a good guess I reckon, 3,000 IS too high, but I'll get the official number during the week.


Jodi holds 2742.

There was a maximum of 2200 at Rovers-Cork.

[Lim till i die]

Official Attendance at Limerick F.C. v Galway United: 848

[Da Real Rover]

Here says 600:

So does here:

http://www.thebitored.org/fanscorner/the%20match/Reports/29_04_05_el_athlonet_MR.htm

There was definetely more than 260 anyway.

By the way, what do you mean you'll put the lower figure in for now? Where do you put it? :confused:
Sligoman the home crowd was probably higher than 200 maybe 300 to 400 but it wasn't over 500 and there anything up to 100 rovers fans but definetly no more. In the second half when we got together on the hill there weren't more than 100 rovers fans.

[pineapple stu]

Will put the Sligo one in at 500 then to split the difference.

Your way off. While we did gather on the hill in the second half. There was plenty more of us still scattered around the ground. Look at the Rovers section, nobody else agrees with your 60.

I'm not going to say anymore about it cos I dont want to start a fight with you and I dont want to be clogging up this thread with irrelevant posts.

[pineapple stu]

Been told by an Athlone fan that 600/650 is reasonable alright.

[pineapple stu]

1150 at UCD-Bohs tonight, give or take a few.

[kevincronin2000]

according to 96fm the attendance was 4000. If i was to guesstimate i prob would have said 3500.

[Sheridan]

'bout 150 at Richmond for DC-Athlone :(

[Slash/ED]

Sheridan I'm not sure if this is the place to ask and it's probably been said before and I've just missed it but why are you playing in Richer now, I thought you were supposed to be in Tolka for this season again, and I think you started the season in Tolka too for that matter :confused:

[pineapple stu]

Just an addendum to that (mod can split if they want...), what're Dublin City's long-term plans re a ground? Are youz going back to Whitehall at some stage in the future? Think the Rovers experience has shown that a club simply can't survive wandering from ground to ground...

Played one home game there, against Sligo. Pitch won't stand up to the punishment inflicted by two teams. Richer is relatively cheap in terms of rent, but it's killing what little support we had.

(Similar question posed in Athlone thread of DC forum, could be conveniently merged with that.)

Whitehall is Shangri-la as far as DC fans (myself included) are concerned. Regarded objectively, it's a bit of a tip, but it's still closer to "home" than any alternative. Doesn't seem to be an option currently. The Morton Stadium meets licensing requirements and is free and available (for now), but the club don't seem interested :(

[Green Force]

1,500, based on looking and the gate reciepts, which for the first time in years were reconcilable.

[Patrick Dunne]

Official attendance given as 450.

[GalwayFrancis]

Official attendance given as 450.

very bad att on the night, i would have thought abit more,maybe 550
hopefully there will be a few more down in terryland on friday versus
monaghan, it been recorded for futbol mundial!!! but cant expect ppl
to show up for a team that is second last in the first divison, can you?

[De Town]

Id say if you put everyone into the stand, you would have filled 3 blocks of it, maybe a bit more.

I reckon 1200.

Yes you can otherwise the supporters are just fairweather fans who are FICKLE and they are useless to Football Clubs and in general really :(

[shedhead]

attendance at the sligo rovers v kilkenny was only bout 1400. Not suprised its a good bit down after the tripe that was served up against monaghan

[Da Real Rover]

The new stand holds 1500 and that wasn't far off full and then you have all the fans in Jinks avenue and by the shed, so i'd say it was around 1500 to 1600.

[holidaysong]

I would guess about 2200 at Shels vs. Finn Harps.

[Slash/ED]

We normally get the offical attendences given for our home games now but there's been no sign of Fintan since the match who normally is the one who gives them, if there's no figure given I think 2,200 would be about right alright.

[Green Force]

Closer to 1200 afer seeing it on tele

[pineapple stu]

225 (http://kildarecounty.irishfootie.net/viewtopic.php?t=567&start=15) at Kildare v. Limerick.

Been busy lately trying to get Ireland tickets back and Ireland fanzines going and all the rest of it, so it may be tomorrow by the time the next update goes up, for anyone wondering where it is!

Obviously a bit to go in the season yet, but the two divisions' percentage increases this season are healthy. The drop from 2003 to 2004 we put down to overstating in 2003.

Is there any way to align text rather than put in the dots?

If the tiniest clubs there can publish official attendances, why do we have to try to guess some of the ones here?

Leeds United attendences dropped by 20.3% after their relegation last year :eek:

[GalwayFrancis]

test test test

deadly: this is well handy for tables n' stuff

[Slash/ED]

927 at the Limerick match according to the radio

[Poor Student]

2791 or 3791 at Pats v Rovers. Couldn't hear the announcer right.

[atfconline]

200 counted at the Dundalk/Athlone game in Monaghan last night. 250 max allowing for people in the bar or hiding behind other people from where I was counting.

[Partizan]

approx 3500 at the Blues v C/\wk game. :)

[ollie]

927 at the Limerick match according to the radio
yeah i heard that figure as well.compared to like 100 and something last year and even attendances in double figures.its good to see them on the up again.the premier league needs more clubs from munster.hopefully this will bbecome a reality sooner rather than later

[pineapple stu]

2791 or 3791 at Pats v Rovers. Couldn't hear the announcer right.
Think 2,791 sounds more realistic, as they had 3,019 at the Bohs game, so it's nearer.


approx 3500 at the Blues v C/\wk game.
Does the RSC hold that many?!

[Partizan]

RSC capacity is 8500

[Colie]

2791 or 3791 at Pats v Rovers. Couldn't hear the announcer right.

Mostly Rovers fans too!

[Éanna]

approx 3500 at the Blues v C/\wk game. :)
more like 2500 at absolute most, with at least a third of the crowd being city fans

[Poor Student]

Mostly Rovers fans too!

Are you sure? Pats had half the stand, all of the shed and most of the carmac I thought. Rovers had a good crowd alright who made a decent bit of noise.

[trevy]

I'd say about 2300 max at Waterford United v Cork City last night.

[Éanna]

I'd say about 2300 max at Waterford United v Cork City last night.
yeah, that sound more realistic alright

[Slash/ED]

1,800 was the guesstimate for the crowd at Drogheda v Shels given in the live updates.

[Patrick Dunne]

report that 600 supporters (approx)were tortured at the Galway United vs Monaghan United game in Terryland Park last night.

[Buller]

RSC capacity is 8500
Yeah! What in the invisible stand?! How could it possibly hold 8,500 ppl?!!!
