My sentances do not have a natural conclusion !!!!!!!!! I am sorry but i think this attendance thread is worthless if you choose to ignore Facts !!!!!!! No point keeping it going if you are going to put down what you think is an actual attendances should be !!!!!!!Who cares really? It's just one person deciding on an attendance for each game. Who says it's official? It's not used for anything important and it is biased the majority of the time, I wouldn't worry about it RT;).

What was the crowd like at Dalyer tonight? Proberley Dublin City's biggest crowd of the season. Will they have to give half the gate money to Bohs? Or some of it anyway?

Pretty decent crowd,I thought - 1,900? I'm sure Chippie'll be on later with the official figure; oh, wait, it wasn't a home match......

Looked about 900 at the RSC tonight against Longford.. terrible attendance :eek:
I would say approximately 600!! Terrible terrible crowd

between 900/950 at this game on thurs night , very little mons support for a change in oriel

SPXcyan

22/04/2006, 1:18 PM

nah 600 is too little.. that would mean half an empty stand.. no way! 540 paid.. while a good 200 ticket holders attended.. maybe 800 at the game.. I hope we dont have attendances like this all season.. bloody disgrace :(

Maz

22/04/2006, 1:20 PM

Star had attendance as 520 so Im thinking its in and around that number. Left side of the stand was practically empty

Partizan

22/04/2006, 1:42 PM

WLR stated that only 580 people paid at the gate, which doesnt include season ticket holders who were in attendance. My guestimate : 750

Are Waterford planning to moved from the RSC? Waterford seem to be a club with loads of potential fans but I could understand people staying away from the RSC as it is a terrible football ground. Would love to see you doing well.

Yup we are! I hope :eek: No sign of anything happening there yet.. The stand is too far simple as.. people with limited sight would not stand a chance of seeing any action :( I just hope that sometime in the future we will have our own ground to be proud of :( and with a county of over 100,000 people.. and cant get at least 1% threw the turnstiles.. just worries meh.

710 at UCD-Shelbourne. Presumably, the FA Cup semi between Chelsea and Liverpool at the same time didn't help. Next home game is against Sligo - be interesting to see the crowd for that.

400-500 (http://www.irishfootienetwork.com/viewtopic.php?t=3570&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=30) at Harps-Cobh.

They are starting work on a new stand in the RSC soon i think!

The new stand with a capacity of 1700 is expected to start later on in the year after the submission of plans to the Council.

Around 250 at Kildare v Galway.50 galway fans.....poor show from Kildare.

Didnt make the Athlone vs Kilkenny match last night due to work but Ash texted me saying about the usual there. So about 300 for yet another 0-0 draw.

I think the Shels Dublin game was close to the 1500 mark.

The main stand was fairly full and that holds under 1,800 or 1,900 or something and then there were a 100/200 in the Ballybough end ?? Think it was closer to 1500 then 1000 anyway.

And as for the best supported club in Dublin :)

Shels have played Longford at home on Paddys night !!!! and Dublin City. Id imagine the crowds will increase for the teams who actually try play football. ;)

710 for a game between two teams who allegedly have no fans still adds up to our biggest crowd of the season.

INCLUDING players & officials it only just scrapes to 3 figures.

The smallest crowd I've ever seen at a game was 44 for St. Francis v Cobh a few years ago. Any seen fewer?!?!

I think I have 35 for Monaghan v Cobh a couple of years back.

RT - the UCD figure is not official; it's based on a headcount.

In fairness to Kilkenny City it's hurling heartland down there and there was a big game on telly that night aswell. Don't get me wrong the crowd was still pi$$ but I personally found the sub 100 crowds in CHP, Whitehall and St.Richmonds for scheduled games last season far more appaling :ball:

And I must clarify by saying it isn't so long ago Limerick were playing in front of myself and 50 or 60 others :(

It seems plain daft to schedule a match against major matches scheduled for television.

For what it's worth, I think the League should go for a single night for all the matches (probably Friday) and attempt to maximise the coverage from RTE etc - aim for a reporter in every ground, offer live updates from around the country to local stations. Playing matches in dribs and drabs means that those played on Saturdays and Sundays get next to no coverage.

Five hundred and seventy seven (577) at the Limerick Vs Dundalk game. Poor pitch and some terrible reffing destroyed the game as a contest. Some cracking goals in it though.

Shockingly poor attendance at Pats v Cork tonight. Personally, I thought no more than 1800, but I was talking to a Pats director on my way out of McDowell's and he said 1400 - dunno whether that was 1400 who paid in with season ticket holders, etc on top. Either way, it was very disappointing, even allowing for it being live on telly.

PS Hi to Peadar, Eanna and Redgav. Told youse I had a good feeling beforehand. :D

Bohs-UCD looked about 1000 as the teams were coming out, but filled up a good bit. Maybe 1500, but that's a complete stab in the dark really.

thought it was a bit better than that - i got in a bit late (after youse scored) and it seemed by then better than last week against dc-si if i estimated 1900 then, say 2000 tonight?

29/04/2006, 2:12 AM

I'd say there were about 600 at the Bray-Dublin City game...which wasn't too bad, considering all but about 20 were home support. Our previous gates, whilst good, have been somewhat inflated on this thread.

29/04/2006, 9:39 AM

I'd guess about 950 at Waterford United v Derry City last night

SPXcyan

29/04/2006, 1:26 PM

yeah your probably right.. approx 900 in stand and around 50 or so around the ground.. dissapointing crowds this season... but with the state of the ground.. who can blame the fans for not coming?? its awefull.. we need that new stand very quicky for the fans to turn up.

Partizan

29/04/2006, 3:22 PM

According to WLR this morning, approx 820 patrons paid in at the gate. Give and take the season ticket holders and the usual hangers on that come in at half time, my guestimate: 950 - 1000 tops.

Pathetic but the pitch aint helping matters.

What's wrong with the pitch? Are the Waterford public refusing to attend the RSC due to the terrible seating arrangements on the pitch? :p

Sadly you cannot count, the attendance was a dreadful 1,255 :(

that's why you're the accountant and why i'm not...

that's dreadful though; with no Rovers and only one Shels game, we're going to suffer this year attendance wise if that's all we can get for run of the mill games
