2006 Attendances

[BohsFans]

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:

:rolleyes:

Speak when you bring more than 16 fans to a league game.

Shocking for a west of Ireland derby!

he can speak tomorrow so,

since when is Donegal in the west? :rolleyes:

[The Stars]

Around 2100 at the Showground tonight,about 300+ derry fans

[sonofstan]

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

sadly, 'yes' to your first question

as to the civil war.... that would suggest two sides, and if there's a pro- Farrelly side, they're all staying at home to watch the WC....

[John83]

185 at UCD-Waterford.

[sligoman]

Around 2100 at the Showground tonight,about 300+ derry fansJaysus, I know I'm not good at estimating crowds but don't think their was that many?:confused:.

[pineapple stu]

The fact that it's on the west coast is kind of a give away.

[MariborKev]

Around 2100 at the Showground tonight,about 300+ derry fans


Balls.

Trying halving that, but you are right that there were over 300+ City fans.

The main stand was about 70% full, there were about 100-150 standing at the Shed End.

[dcfcsteve]

The fact that it's on the west coast is kind of a give away.

Though to be fair, it is also on the North Coast as well....

There's something ironic in a team from the west refuting the claim that a match against a Donegal side could be a derby - due to Donegal's location in the North-west - whilst games against Sligo are considered a derby. And as we all know, Free Staters like to claim that Sligo is in the North-west, rather than simply 'the west'..... :D :p

[BohsFans]

:eek:

eh yeah.......are you trying to tell me that Donegal isn't in the west? :rolleyes:

The earth is flat btw! :rolleyes:

[Rory H]

300 derry,1200 of us[max]....

[bluemovie]

Yeah I would have said about 150 at UCD v Blues (17 away fans that I know of). Bigger crowd than I expected!

[Red&White Rover]

300 derry,1200 of us[max]....

almost right...according to Ocean FM 1600 was there altogether

[Student Mullet]

Yeah I would have said about 150 at UCD v Blues (17 away fans that I know of). Bigger crowd than I expected!I think one of the lads counted 184 which is a lot bigger than I'd expected. I was selling programs on the way in and I recon there were more than 17 from Waterford there. It seemed like maybe about 30.

[Magicme]

Its funny how Monaghan is part of North West Tourism yet we are North Eastern Health Board Region.....bit of an identity crisis for us....were do we belong....wait dont answer that! :eek:

[pineapple stu]

I think one of the lads counted 184 which is a lot bigger than I'd expected.
In fairness, it's in line with the general World Cup trend of attendances being 40% to 50% of average.

And we get to do it all over again next week after the league arranged our game against Longford to clash with the World Cup semi on Tuesday, instead of on Monday when there was a rest day. Unbelievable. :rolleyes:

[gufct]

in Terryland last night worse league crowd in years for what was a dreadful game. Im still a believer in traditional soccer season are there are too many distractions for people during the summer and the actual Club GAA championships affect us more than county games.

[Patrick Dunne]

People don't go to watch GUFC because the standard of football is brutal.
The fact that we were in direct competition with France vs Spain doesnt help.

There are no mythical thousands out there who would love to go to Terryland, but can't because Liam Mellowes are playing Ardrahan or
Clonbur are playing St Michaels. A clash with these games might take 20 punters at most off the gate.

[dcfcsteve]

Whilst you're arguably in the Midlands or just the north, so are neither...! Though it is a difficult county to place on a compass.

It's got a lot to do with the Republic ignoring the North when it talks about the country/island. Hence Sligo becomes the North West, and Monaghan becomes, well - take yer pick.....! :)

[monutdfc]

80ish for MUFC v Finn Harps last night. :(

[Eoingull]

I estimated close to 500 at Flancare Park last night. There were about 100 people speckled around the 3 uncovered stands, with the main stand reasonably full, including 40 or so from Bray.

[sonofstan]

Though it is a difficult county to place on a compass.



too big, probably..

[soylent green]

A few different opinions on Kilkenny v Rovers but approx 200 with more Rovers than Kilkenny.

[Sam Savic]

Spot on. I estimated 120 Hoops and 80 locals.

[Dr.Nightdub]

This is definitely a long shot cos of where we were standing last night but I'd say about 1300 at Shels v Pats - 500 in the new stand (assuming it holds 800), 800 in the old stand. Shels fans feel free to correct me, particularly anyone was was in the new stand and would've had a better view of the old one.

[Raheny Red]

Last night was a hard one to judge I thought. There was about 350 of you lot in Section A?? As well as about 400 Shels fans in the rest of the stand. 50 in the Ballybough and about 5/600 in the New Stand. The Star says 2,000 :o :rolleyes: :p I wish - though that game should be getting 2,800-3,500!!

[sfc red]

The new stand holds more than 800. There are 4 square sections and 1 rectangular one in the middle. I once counted the 4 squares as 16 across and 16 down so thats 1024 in the 4 squares anyway!!

that must have been a great match

[sfc red]

Honestly can't remember which game it was at, but there you have it :)

[higgins]

I think the official capacity is just over 900 for the New Stand.

[Battery Rover]

At Athlone Town vs Galway I counted 43 behind the goal, 30 in the small stand and about 150 in the long shed. So attendance was around 223. World cup definitely hit the crowd.

The lucky ones stayed at home

[Red4Eva]

hard to guess how many was at our game in richmond 2nite from where i was sittin but i was absolutely shocked at how few pats fans der was. what the f*ck has happened them??

[Dr.Nightdub]

Same as what's happened everyone else's - World Cup. My guess: 800.

Edit: Just had a look at the club website - official attendance 956. Still abysmal though.

[Rory H]

according to rte radio 200 at the waterford bohs game......any bohs or waterford fan to confirm that?

[SPXcyan]

the waterford forum say 400-450... world cup affected this game for certain!

[BohsFans]

the waterford forum say 400-450... world cup affected this game for certain!

I would have thought closer to 250! :(

[gael353]

Im being very generous here and saying 250. 10 from Limerick.

[pineapple stu]

No more than 1500 at Cork-UCD.

[pineapple stu]

150 (http://www.ltfcforum.com/showpost.php?p=6380&postcount=4) at Dublin City-Longford, per the alternative LTFC forum.

[sidcon]

I would have thought closer to 250! :(
Was at the game no more than 250 dreadful attendence

[Sam Savic]

I didn't get the official attendance at Rovers V Monagahan but I estimate 650. About 8 away fans.

[Red4Eva]

this thread is so depressing these days

[gufct]

in St. Mels about 50 from Galway worst ever crowd for this "Derby" .Im afraid lads the death knell is ringing loud and im fearful for the future of el football.

[eamoss]

About 100 at Dundalk V Kilkenny

[Rory H]

[BrayUnknowns]

about 1600 at the Bray V Drogheda game. Very good travelling support, bout 300/400 or so i reckon

[Rory H]
