Attendances 2021

[Northsider]

There certainly will be some. I'm not entirely sure why you'd have a problem with people valuing their health in a pandemic on a night when it was ****ing rain.

But mainly I'm just saying your post is pathetic. Club gets double their average crowd to see league won SHOCKER!

So surely you must be outraged at Shams FC giving about 1,000 schoolchildren free tickets during a pandemic? Meanwhile their own supporters apparently stayed at home for health reasons.

I think northsider is an anti vaxer bee keeper. :)

Why would I be outraged? It's people's own choice whether to go to an event or not. But I could well understand elderly fans or fans with health issues wanting to avoid large crowds.

I think all bees should be vaccinated myself, personally.

[sbgawa]

Ill leave you to keep embarrassing yourself, ive a party to attend.

[sbgawa]

Leaving that eejit aside there are quite a number of older members not coming to matches yet. We lost a good few during the last two years hopefully by Feb 11th next year things have changed but its getting harder to see the ending.

Thought you had a party to attend? :confused:

3,400 attendance at the Brandywell. Pretty good considering that 1,200 extra tickets were only released a couple of days before the game as we're now finally back to full capacity.

Nice! You're gonna need that new stand extended asap. Any word on Phase 2 funding?

Still waiting for the council to get the funding.

Philip o Doherty is building an academy in the city for the all the age groups. He's bought a huge amount of land for it.

[nigel-harps1954]

Not got a figure yet but about 800 in Finn park tonight on another miserable night

You sure he's bought land for it Candystripe? Is it not just a colab with the university, using their land?

That's what I've read. The uni don't want to sell the land. But hopefully they could come to an agreement for a long term lease on the land.

1,629 at RSC for Waterford 2 Derry City 2 last night, early kick of at 18.15, did'nt stop a good crowd turning up. Well down to all who went! :worship:

You could just copy and paste this every two weeks and nobody would be the wiser😀

Sounded like 1800 from Dundalk!! Some scum chants too:mad:

[boynemunich]

1861 Drogs v Dundalk - official

Really ? That's pretty poor considering it was supposed to be a sell out? I know guys who couldn't get a ticket in the end. Think we had 2500 vs Shels in 2019. Strange.

[SPXcyan]

2804 at the RSC tonight against Shamrock Rovers.

I think the safety capacity is 2k, Drogs fans will know more.

Not sure away support, but must been 600-700 so good turnout by home fans, but remember a lot of people still don't feel comfortable in crowds regardless if outdoors due to covid.

3,141 at Finn Park

Only for that observation i'd have been more dismissive of the home support tbh, derby, home club possibly securing the novelty of finishing higher than local rivals while pushing those rivals in to real trouble.

3,141 at Finn Park

Super crowd, the weather must not have been horrendous. Shows the importance of derbies so should be league wide derby days/rounds when fixtures done up.

[nigel-harps1954]

3,141 at Finn Park

Definitely seemed like a lot more than that. Felt closer to 4,000 in Finn park there tonight. Super crowd.

Ollie stashing away a bit of cash for next seasons budget

[DCSIL]

Harps struggled with the big crowd last night it seemed, instead of Derry fans going in the Away Side we ended up all over the ground.

And Covid restrictions/advice being ignored in Donegal as usual.

[Bucket]

3,500 tickets sold for Utd v Bray tomorrow evening. Capacity is 4,500. It could be the first sell-out since the 90's I think

Yes it’s time this is called out regardless of covid they are putting health safety and lives of derry fans at risk with their deliberate over selling of away end to us and they know rightly they are doing it too.

[nigel-harps1954]

There's generally no strict segregation in Finn Park though. There's always away fans in the home end, doesn't matter if it's Derry, Bohs, Pats, Longford, or anyone.

Nit picking and looking to be offended is typical of some Derry fans though. :rolleyes:

Not looking to be offended at all here it would take a lot to do that to me I like Harps consider them neighbours more than rivals and hope they stay up etc etc but when something has happened now multiple times it does need to be called out as they are deliberately over crowding the away end and it is putting peoples safety at risk.

It isn’t a case of being offended at all it is a case of saying ok this has now happened multiple times in recent years and I am going to a football match and feeling unsafe due to the hosting club deliverately over selling a small terrace and showing scant regard for potential consequences.

It needs to be approached now imo.

[sadloserkid]

Why do you keep going back and putting your life at risk in this way?

[DCWA]

Why do you keep going back and putting your life at risk in this way?

Because i am a hero for my club and if I am martyred then so be it, it will be a glorious death indeed.

That or maybe I naively expect Harps to learn and improve the situation ?

[Guitd]

Looking like at least 4k expected in EDP for tomorrows playoff second leg with advance ticket sales great to see shows potential in Galway fir a successfully club

Plenty of Derry fans were smart enough to stand in front of the club shop, and the opposite side of the gantry, without any issue. There was plenty of space over there too.

Funny the last time I was in Finn Park we were segregated by being directed toward a separate turnstile.

If I am wrong then I stand corrected but are not the host team who welcome them obliged to provide a segregated section for away fans?

[DCSIL]

I know Harps are moving soon but honestly, you wouldn’t keep Pigs in those conditions last night.

Tbf, that's a wonderful answer. :D

Generally directed towards the 'away end' yes, but there's no barriers, and nothing to separate supporters once in the ground. Plenty of Derry fans in the home ends last night, and been plenty of other opposition fans in main stand for other games.

RE: the covid situation. Wasn't at the match but are covid restrictions not gone for outdoor events?

Don't, thats a cheap one all considered!!

That's a BS excuse tbf. It sounds like Harps run a sh*t show when it comes to away fans. And instead of trying to be professional and improve yourselves, the excuse is "ah sure we've always done it, it's grand". It's situations like this that indicate to me that the LOI is doomed and will forever be run by clowns.

And this isn't an attack on Harps btw, Shamrocks slow reaction to their two scumbag fans and even decisions my own club makes would leave you feeling disillusioned. We need to be more professional.

[Nesta99]

Thats it settled so! Only UCD should be able to have away fans, only way to oust the clowns!

Great to see crowds surging. The expanded first division playoffs should have been done long ago; more high stakes matches, especially in "the graveyard", are very welcome! Wondering how much if this a post pandemic boom.

There was over 1,000 in Turners Cross recently for Cork City ladies vs Treaty, women's LOI record.

[D24Saint]

“ There was over 1,000 in Turners Cross recently for Cork City ladies vs Treaty, women's LOI record.”

Genuine question , how many of them would be free tickets and not paying customers. If the majority were paying punters then it represents a growth in interest for women’s football.

Free I assume, like most other WNL matches. It still represents a big milestone.

[DCSIL]

Is that a general Donegal excuse? Oh Covid is over. And is every part of FP open air, some of the “indoor” facilities like I previously said, you wouldn’t keep Pigs in, and I know, I’ve lived on a Pig Farm!

[D24Saint]

Is living like a pig for two hours not one of the standard T&C’s on the back of LOI tickets.

It's was €5 for adults and €1 for kids as usual, there was a push to try and set a new record attendance and a charity tie-in with Breast Cancer Ireland.
