He was slagging our drummer.

[Raheny Red]

What's wrong with that :confused: - did he make some sort of gesture?

[pineapple stu]

500 to 700 (http://www.foot.ie/showthread.php?p=490274#post490274) seems to be the opinion for Rovers v Kildare.

[Battery Rover]

About 200 at Dundalk vs Athlone tonight

[pineapple stu]

Only two games, but, coupled with poor attendances during Euro 2004, further evidence for the two-week break during major tournaments even if we don't qualify...

[pineapple stu]

915 (http://www.stpatsfc.com/attendances.php) at Pat's-UCD. Would have said 700-ish myself, but can be hard to tell when there's terracing. Certainly appears reasonable anyway.

[MariborKev]

2054 at Derry v Dublin City

[Dr.Nightdub]

915 (http://www.stpatsfc.com/attendances.php) at Pat's-UCD. Would have said 700-ish myself, but can be hard to tell when there's terracing. Certainly appears reasonable anyway.

Correction: 910. The firemen weren't actually IN Richmond. :D

I would've gone lower than you Stu, I said to a mate early in the first half I didn't think there was more than 500 there, obviously I couldn't see through the gantry to the Shed end of the Camac but most people tend to move down at half time anyway.

[Comic Book Guy]

Cobh v Dundalk
(230) poor enough, but a 1pm kick off before the Munster/Biarritz game
Cobh v Athlone 425
Cobh v Kildare 350

[sonofstan]

877 Bohs/ Sligo - more 'crowds' like that and we can't afford not to fire Farrelly

[Poor Student]

877 Bohs/ Sligo - more 'crowds' like that and we can't afford not to fire Farrelly

Is it more Farrelly related than World Cup related? That is an utterly terrible crowd by Bohs standards!

[pineapple stu]

Bit of both, I would imagine (though obviously an outside guess)

[BohsFans]

Is it more Farrelly related than World Cup related? That is an utterly terrible crowd by Bohs standards!

oh believe me it's GF related!

Was quite funny (for a little while anyway) last night in the 2nd half, Farrelly was getting booed when he touched the ball. :D

Now **** off spoofer :mad:

[pineapple stu]

I'd imagine there has to be some element of the World Cup there! Lot of bad attendances this weekend, continued with 350 (http://www.irishfootienetwork.com/viewtopic.php?t=4084&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=30) (lowest of the season) at Harps v Galway. 12 Galway fans, they note.

I sure I read in the Star that it was 2,500 and I can't believe that I...........well erm believed it :o :eek:

[pineapple stu]

:D

CollegeTillIDie was saying it was reported at 3000 on Aertel. Not a hope of it!

[Raheny Red]

According to yesterday's Star:

Bohs V Sligo = 1,200
Cork V Drogs = 3,000
Pats V UCD = 2,500 :eek: I just hope for Rory Kerr's own sake that this was a typo
Bray V WUFC = 750

16 Galway fans there in an attendance of 250-300 tops i'd say!!.........350 is extremely generous!

[Partizan]

There was no way that there was 750 in the Carlisle Grounds on Friday night. The uncovered seated area wasnt even half full plus the grassy banks behind the town goal was sparsely attended. I'd say 450-500 max and I'm being generous there.

[pineapple stu]

Pats V UCD = 2,500 :eek: I just hope for Rory Kerr's own sake that this was a typo
Bray V WUFC = 750
Maybe it was just The Star's usual nonsense attendances. In which cas,e imagine what the real crowd at the Carlisle was! :eek: :p

Kildare County v Dundalk - 220 (150; 450)
Kilkenny City v Finn Harps - 84 (n/a; 80)
Monaghan United v Limerick - 100 (80; 37)

The attendance given in the Waterford News & Star for the Pats game at the RSC was 812, that figure does not include season ticket holders & concessionaries. Why do you underestimate our attendances. Are you pursuing some kind of an agenda here against our Club given that the figures presented here on the msg board will be used come end of season.

[pineapple stu]

The figure in the Waterford Star was never announced on this thread. A Pat's fan and a Waterford fan were both in agreement at about 750-800.

Facts, Partizan, facts. :rolleyes:

[Partizan]

That was the paying customers, what about season ticket holders and concessionaries. Some WUFC fans like SPX have a habit of underestimating like yourself.

Fact: The stand in the RSC holds 1275 not the 1000 odd that is frequently stated here.

[SPXcyan]

I just guess an attendance by lookin in the stand in games! everybody knows a guess will never be exact!

[BohsFans]

16 Galway fans there in an attendance of 250-300 tops i'd say!!.........350 is extremely generous!

your new managers 1st match, local-ish derby, absolutely shocking! :eek:

[Raheny Red]

your new managers 1st match, local-ish derby, absolutely shocking! :eek:

And Galway were at home :eek: :p

[Comic Book Guy]

Reckon about 250 max at Cobh/Monaghan, v.poor attendance. Seems to be a common theme about this weekend's atendances.

[Dazzy]

Our attendence was over 2k so we were ok!

[gael353]

Limerick Vs Kilkenny was the lowest attendence in over two years. 275 which was pretty poor.

[Eoingull]

There were about 400 at the Bray-Waterford game on Friday. The topic was raised at one stage of the game, as we wondered where everyone was.

[Magicme]

Reckon about 250 max at Cobh/Monaghan, v.poor attendance. Seems to be a common theme about this weekend's atendances.

And 6 of them were Mons fans....including 3 mad looneys who almost got thrown out of the clubhouse....:o (not me I hasten to add!)

[bluemovie]

There were about 400 at the Bray-Waterford game on Friday. The topic was raised at one stage of the game, as we wondered where everyone was.

Spot on. That's what I estimated - about 40 of whom were away fans. It's really weird in the Carlisle Grounds without the Shed. Foot.ie posters clearly put much more effort into crowd guesstimates than the Star. There's no earthly way there were 750 at that game. The Star's numbers are always crazy, but then their description (also used by the Times and, most embarrassingly, United's official website) of our goal was that Lamberski scored from a Hughes cross. Hughes had been substituted at half time and everyone in the ground knew it was a Wes Charles own goal from a Paul McCarthy cross. The laziest journalism I've seen this season.

Also, can I make a prediction of 100 for tonight's UCD v Waterford crowd? We usually boost the numbers there, but very few will be travelling on a Monday to watch more rubbish in the rain especially with the World Cup clashing.

[bluemovie]

Re the Blues v Pats game: I wasn't online at the time (I was in a 3 week huff after another humiliating defeat), but I remember thinking the one positive was that at least there was a half decent crowd. I estimated 1000 - Blocks C to E were nearly full, not sure about B and Pats had a good travelling support in Block A. The usual 100 or so spread around the ground too.

One of the club directors told me the pay-on-the-gate figure was 812 so I'd say 1000 is a reasonable guess........not that it matters - another hour and a half that we'll never get back!

[Rory H]

Limerick Vs Kilkenny was the lowest attendence in over two years. 275 which was pretty poor.


:eek: your fans are so fickle..ye only turn up when ye have a reason to hate the manager:p

thats shocking for a team top of the league

[pineapple stu]

And Galway were at home :eek: :p
:confused:

No they weren't. (Trying to detect some semblance of sarcasm in the post, but can't...)


Also, can I make a prediction of 100 for tonight's UCD v Waterford crowd? We usually boost the numbers there
It'll be a rubbish crowd in line with everyone else getting rubbish crowds during the World Cup.

Thank God the ten of yez turned up last season though - really boosted the crowd that night.

[Student Mullet]

Also, can I make a prediction of 100 for tonight's UCD v Waterford crowd? We usually boost the numbers there, but very few will be travelling on a Monday to watch more rubbish in the rain especially with the World Cup clashing.I think our worse crowd in recent memory was against Limerick in the first division on a rainy Monday night. It was 175 that day and I think your right, we could get less than that this evening.

[pineapple stu]

It was 148 v Cobh the same year. Bank Holiday Sunday with Dublin playing in Croker at the same time. We had to move the match because we were playing Cork in the FAI Cup the previous Wednesday because they in turn had been playing Nantes in the InterToto the previous Sunday.

[Partizan]

Pineapple,

would you mind typing in, in future the proper attendance figures for the RSC, preferably those of us who frequent there which oddly enough correspond with the figures given by Waterford News & Star.

[pineapple stu]

I'll type in the proper figure if it's given to me, Partizan. :rolleyes:

I will not go out and get the Waterford Star just to type in the figure because you couldn't be arsed yet decide to moan when I don't psychically come up with the relevant number.

[Partizan]

What are you talking about? Fellow WUFC have been pointing this out to you yet you are oblivious. :(

[pineapple stu]

It's quite simply really.

I didn't put in 812 originally because it was never mentioned.

I can't go back and edit my post because it's too late.

I have updated my Excel sheet.

I do put in the figure given to me by people who frequent the RSC, despite your claims otherwise.

I do not have a vendetta against Waterford or their attendances. I don't care one way or another, in fact.

What more do you want?

[sligoman]

It's quite simply really.simply really? That doesn't make sense:confused:.

Finally I get to correct a UCD fan on their grammer:p.

[pineapple stu]

Left that in there just for you to spot. ;)

[sonofstan]

simply really? That doesn't make sense:confused:.

Finally I get to correct a UCD fan on their grammer:p.
But - as usual - it's left to the country's most cultured club to tidy up the spelling ... (it's 'grammar')

[sligoman]

But - as usual - it's left to the country's most cultured club to tidy up the spelling ... (it's 'grammar')and it was 2-0, now shut up!:D :p.

[WeAreRovers]

But - as usual - it's left to the country's most cultured club to tidy up the spelling ... (it's 'grammar')

Is that what you lot are reduced to now? :D

How's the civil war coming along? Things hotting up nicely according to my spies in Dalier on Friday night.

KOH

[Terry]

your new managers 1st match, local-ish derby, absolutely shocking! :eek:


How does a 456Km round journey come even close to a localish derby???:confused: :rolleyes:

[Conor H]

How does a 456Km round journey come even close to a localish derby???:confused: :rolleyes:

Ya i was just about to ask the same thing.
Bohsfan that's like saying GUFC v Bohs is a local derby.......same distance apart anyway!
Ugghhh:rolleyes:
