I'd say about 900 at Waterford United v Bray Wanderers Friday night to see the Blues first home league win of the season:) .
Absolutel nonsense. I can prove that I heard 2,100 on radio as the absolute indisputable crowd figure for this match. I think you have an ulterior motive in reducing Waterford's average crowd firgure for this season and demand that you listen to my raving over any one else.
Big crowd last night 2,585
What's the source?

about 400 in kildare last night - but thats only a guess, no idea what the place holds
one of the lads over at the Kildare forum said:
"Around 200 there plus some noisy Galway fans (second noisest to the 16 or so Under 12 Little Fanta F*****s Kilkenny City brought down in July)"
so I stand corrected - I must of been seeing doubles:D :D
as for the shamrocks game today, on the srfcforum it says: "Don't know the exact crowd figure but I would guess at about 800.

Didn't want to say anything. Have been wrong before. The stand only holds 250.
Reckon there was 200-220 at last nights match but open for correction on this.;)

was at the match myself, wouldnt say there was much more than 2000. would go for around 1800-1900.

Good because we'll have the RSC rocking next Friday night and show up the laughable support your club has - a handful of D4 Lorcans.
Off to the First Division with ye. :D

You go and find me a Dundalk fan who considers that a local derby.
In our league, a game where both grounds are within an hour of each other is considered to be a local derby.
If Finn-Harps-Sligo/Derry is considered to be a derby, then Dundalk-Monaghan is also.
Mons may well be our closest game, but i can guarantee there were less than 20 mons fans at the game.
The only real derby we have is drogs, with rovers and the wonderful fans from derry a close joint 2nd in 'derby style' if not proximity. Both can take up to 500 with them, oriel was always a favourite for hoops fans for some reason, maybe its the smell of the hops from the nearby harp lager brewery !!
Derry fans have a long relationship with dundalk.

if it only holds 250, id say there was between 175-200. wasnt full anyways.

I'd have said around 500 myself.:ball:

Would be leaning towards 175 in the stand plus counted about 60 outside of the stand around the pitch so that would bring attendance to 235. Would sound about right but open for correction.

I'd say about 900 at Waterford United v Bray Wanderers Friday night to see the Blues first home league win of the season:) .
Myself and a few mates deliberately had a good look around on Friday to check out the attendance because it was definitely up on recent games (amazing what a win can do). Blocks E and D were full to capacity. From what we could see, Blocks A to C were mostly full too. I asked a friend who sits in B about it and he concurred. The one I often forget to check is the hill beside Block E. There actually are a good few who stand there.
All in all, we estimated a conservative 1100 altogether. Given the people around the ground, that still leaves over 200 empty seats in the stand. I don't think there were that many empty seats, but I'm being conservative.
I don't agree with you bluemovie.Was there in season ticket section over the tunnel and there was loads of empty seats all over the place, not many people down low in block B and hardly any away fans in block A.I'd still stick with 900.Just my opinion.
How come if clubs in Scottish 3rd division can release definite attendance figures for the Sunday papers but most Eircom League clubs keep it quiet from the press?

I'll get it next home game, only unless chippie knows the exact figure?:confused:
Maybe 450 or less at the Harps V Rovers game aréir.

I'd have said less, probably somewhere in the region of 350... stand was fairly empty and only 25/30 Rovers fans on the far side.

2500 is better than any home support from Dublin Id say.

13/09/2006, 2:22 PM
Star also says 2,500 although they are not great with figures
Great home crowd (2,484)for a Tuesday night head to head with Liverpool and Chelsea , maybe Tuesday nights are the way forward..........
Maybe Sutherland was right , crowds are up now because the farmers have got the hay in.
I'm curious to know, Stu, as to be honest I've not paid attention to these threads before, but how did you get the 857 figure for the Waterford-Bray game? Just wondering where it comes from given you've had just two quotes here from people present of 900 and 1100 - was it from a newspaper or tinternet match report?
The actual figure, I would reckon myself, was about 950-1000 in the stand with maybe another 50 or so scattered around the ground, on the hill or whatever, so 1000 to 1050 overall.
Block E and D were virtually full, block C almost so, block B about 2/3 to 3/4 full and block A (mostly away fans) 3/4 empty, but it is a smaller block. I'd say in total about 300 or so vacant seats in the stand. The capacity of the stand if memory serves is 1270.
Bluemovie you probably couldn't see much of block A from where you were but it was quite sparse it has to be said. Your block B contact is somewhat misguided. It wasn't me was it? ;) Trevy your estimations of which blocks held what were quite good but your overall figure doesn't add up, with your overall figure you must think there were 400 odd empty seats, but that just isn't so.

I would have said 300 at the very most and even that would be pushing it.

50-60 at United v Athlone Town last night :( :( :( . A handful more in the second half when schoolboy training ended.
FAO stann,
the 857 figure is yer average over the season and not the last match ye played, read the top of his post again
:o
Well as I said, I wasn't paying attention all along, so that's a running average then, with last year and the year before's average in brackets. I see...
I won't compound it by telling you what I though those figures were! :D
Cheers Terry.
Cancel that first question so, Stu. But am still curious as to what figure you eventually decide on, have you reliable posters, go for averages, or what?

what are ways to get more people to the matches? the tickets can't be that much can they?

Yeah you're probably right, it's just a couple of other lads I know said it was around 450 so I just stuck up the consencus. Terrible crowd whatever way (applies in both sences to most of the people at the Town End).

I thikn it's detailed towards the start of the thread. Basically, I'll choose official attendances released by the club of reported in the media first, then the most reasonable guesstimate (i.e. if someone guesses 100 and someone else says the main stand which holds 2000 was 2/3rds full, and tre were 200 standing, I'll go with the lattre) and then the lowest to keep the figures conservative.
You can tell which posters are reliable too. :) But generally, most of the regular posters here are reliable and are interested in seeing the proper averages. I'm sure some of the figures are out, but there's not really a lot I can do about that.

Stu, just noticed that you have Cork attendances "missing Pats" from the first round - we played them in Richmond in the first round.
1930 at Pats v Shels
Just shows the difference being crap makes - when we played them in our second home game of the season, the attendance was 2145 = a drop of 10%, worse if you assume that Shels, being League leaders, would've brought more last night than they did the first time. Big assumption, I know... :D

Waterford United v UCD was I'd guess about 1200 although didn't have a good view of far 2 blocks A and B but rest of stand was fairly full and maybe 200 standing around the ground.

Drogs v Cork would have been around 1,800.
Bohs v Drogs wouldn't have been much over 1,000 I would have said.

Maybe we brought 20% more, and your lot turned up 30% (or something) less? :eek:

Where have all your fans gone? 1400 not including season ticket holders and all the under 12s let in for free down to this? Seems the higher up ye go the less your crowds are getting smaller. more realstic figure too i may add :)
Saturday just doesnt work in Galway, didnt make it myself either

Waterford United v UCD was I'd guess about 1200 although didn't have a good view of far 2 blocks A and B but rest of stand was fairly full and maybe 200 standing around the ground.
Way too high, I think.
There were 50 standing at the far and and mabe 100 beside the stand, so your guess on the numbers standing is OK. That leaves 1000 in a 1200 seater stand? Block A had about 20 people in it, and Block B was at least half empty. We reckoned 700, without a good view of the far blocks. Maybe 900 if the stand was fuller at the far end?
Stu, just noticed that you have Cork attendances "missing Pats" from the first round - we played them in Richmond in the first round.
I'm couting "first round" as home and away, if you know what I mean. So "first ruond" here means the first game against Cork in Cork. (I know there was only one, but it's just me being consistent to put it that way...)

Nice smart arsed answer from you again gael.At least we give the accurate figure all the time so when we get around 2000 plus against Rovers or `1000 at home to Monaghan it will be the true figure.Also all our home attendances are still higher than yere's.:)
560-poor crwod but it was a Saturday,it was wet and it was against Kilkenny.
