about 1600 at the Bray V Drogheda game. Very good travelling support, bout 300/400 or so i reckon
Would agree with you on the travelling support but would have to ask how there was 1,200 Bray fans there??? I actually thought we had more fans there than you did!
Btw, I'd stick Drogs v Dublin City down for about 1,000. Terrible crowd and you couldn't really blame the World Cup. That was the night of Switzerland v Ukraine!!

I'd love to think there were 1600 at the Bray v Drogheda game...but there weren't...I'd say closer to 700. About half of these were Drogs supporters...well done! For what it's worth, it might be difficult to gauge the local crowd, as very few people actually own a Wanderers jersey. Most people just turn up in their regular civvies.

How do Bray fans always seem to be so far out on what they think the crowd was? We have 700 at the lower end of the scale and 1,600 at the other end.

Don't think it was as high as 1600. I would have said around 1000 with half the crowd from Drogheda. Biggest Drogheda following I've seen in Bray for a good while. Would agree on the jersey point as Bray fans have not had jerseys to buy in about 4 years that's why its hard to judge the home support as most don't have jerseys to wear. .

Reason why i guessed that is because the stand holds 2000 and 2/3rds of it was virtually fuill and then with the bowling alley end thats the figure i came up with

Crowds crap everywhere due to summer football to facilate European teams and then Shels lose 3 nil, hardly worth k1lling the league so one club might get to the group stages of the champions league league and end up doing a rosenborg domestically.

The two week break was decided by some idiots due to the World Cup.
Shels did not cause the two week break and before you go getting the Cork lads upset, Ollie had no part in the break decision either ;)

After the weekend. 2005 and 2004 in brackets. FD and PD indicate average crowd got in a different division to current year.
Waterford forum gives 250-350 and 400-450 for Waterford-Bohs. Everyone else seems to be in agreement at about 250. So it's going in at that until Partizan comes on with his usual rant. Going to go with 700 for Bray - Drogheda as it's the lowest guesstimate and appears at least reasonably thought out. Also agrees with Windmill Warriors breakdown of the crowd. Any others who were there, feel free to correct me.

I'm seriously surprised at that!
If asked to make a prediction, I'd have said there'd be no more than 20 there. Suppose the early KO helped.

All of this would suggest that between 180 and 200 people, who are not "Away" supporters, turn up to watch UCD at home.

That's right, only away fans are distracted by the World Cup, and all of our usual home support attend all Tuesday games. :rolleyes:

Does anyone else think that overall attendances are in freefall, I would of thought that attendences would of been up during the world cup, when Wimbledon is on for example it is quite difficult to get a tennis court anywhere likewise it is difficult to get a snooker table when the world championship is on as the TV coverages generates a lot of interest, maybe people all out playing football instead of watching it.
The only thing that will save attendances is having big crowds at the biggest games so can gauge over a full season.
Whatever about in freefall crowds are certianly not increasing at any meaningful level.

It seems to be a mixed bag in the First Division, but every club in the premier (other than those just promoted) has seen a significant drop in attendances this year compared to last...... And Crowds since the summer started are horrible throughout the league!!!!!!! Summer football is apparently a great idea every second year..... Well at least the european chamionships aren't until 2008!
I'm all for the FAI taking over the league.... Something has to be done soon to market this league and improve the playing facilities!!:mad:

Pinneapple me old mate, I missed the Bohs game at the RSC due to work committments here in Dublin so no fear, I wont get under your skin this week, but WLR stated that the attendance was approx 350 which was absolutley shocking.
........and you have 250. :rolleyes:

1100 at Sligo-Dublin City, per RTÉ. Revised up from 700 early on, which goes to show taht you should never listen to early crowd figures...

Poor crowd at Drogheda-Pats. We had about 2/3 of what we'd normally bring, the home terrace looked about 2/3 as full as the last couple of times we've been up there, couldn't see into the stand. I'd say 1700 plus whatever was in the stand.

bout right, would have said 1200 myself and i'd say my guesstimate is closer. absolutely shocking attendance. i think the club will be changing back to saturday as quick as possible. attandance not helped by dublin city being the club they are. no fans, no talent and no entertainment

I'm suprised by this considering it is a match between two teams competing for the league. We have got good crowds at all our home games so far and long may it continue:o

For some strange reason Con Murphy said "I hope they stick with this Friday thing and give it a proper try. Dublin City are not the team to judge this change against!". If they'd done even the mildest investigation they'd know how unpopular this is.

Perhaps he was suggesting that if every Premier Division club played on Friday nights at 7:45 we'd once again have a dedicated night for eircom League football - it's better now than it was a few years ago but have games scattered over different days with different kick off times is a bit of a joke really.

600 tops at Bray-UCD. Main stand (which I think holds 1500?) was no more than a third full, and maybe 100-150 around the ground.
at Terryland but if we keep drawing all our games it will get lower.

Yep, as the game went on a few more filtered through but along with the
20 (approx) from Athlone, there was also 2-4 lads over from England doing
a bit of ground hopping!
I didn't know the sporting fraternity of Kilkenny still upheld "The Ban"
