Kildare County V Athlone Town: 73
Wasn't actually that bad, one of the four Athlone lads counted ninety something at the start of the second half.

Pats v Bohs - guessing 2,000:
Pats v Rovers - guessing 2,750:
Away end just about full (it holds 957)
There were over a 1000 in that away stand, there may be 957 seats but we were all standing and packed in...

According to the Pats board there were 957 tickets for that stand and no more. There were a good few empty seats at the turnstile end of the stand, probably because people didn't move up from the other end but stood there instead.

reports of 250 - 300 people at the Wexford Harps game, with about 80 of them being from Harps.

Yeah someone else said to me that he counted 102 but was told there was 73 ticket stubs. Some people came in for the second half and wouldn't have paid in.

Spoke to a Sligo fan today who reckons there were around 1000 at Sligo v Waterford last Saturday.
SRFC should be complimented for sticking with their normal Sat night KO and not giving into the Rugger WC Final.

There was close to 50 students who availed of the free ticket offer in conjuction with the student card. Hard to visualise it but that's the record from the gate.

I'm fairly sure it was a sell-out, so not a lot to hide there.
Though that is with the rubbish reduced capacity they've got currently.
I`m just surprised after a week no one has even given an estimate

Strange that there was no attendance given for the Drogheda Cork Game as it was the league decider.
Strange that there was no attendance given for the Drogheda Cork Game as it was the league decider.
Drogs v Cork City: I would guess 3000 based on previous figures given for similar games & the numbers on the main terrace. Ground far from full though. Could get 1000 in easily but don't think the demand there.
Cup Semi: Bohs v Cork City
3000 would be solid estimate 2500:500 split

Looked less than that on the telly, to be honest. A and B were less than half full at the end of the Jodi, and wouldn't have said more than 300 in the Des Kelly, although it's very hard to call that one as there's space in the back and everyone's standing up.

:rolleyes:
the demand wasn't there!! - sure the tickets only sold out 6 days before the game (apart from the 50 or so sold to cork), and the additional tickets released after the fire officer allowed an increase in capacity also sold, but of course pete (obviously not wumming about the drogs) reckons there was no demand :rolleyes:

Yeah I'd agree with that.There was good support down from Drogheda for the game.

Your attendances falling is perfectly understandable and that was a cheap dig by Conor.
The literal 100s of scum that attach themselves to your club are not though and actually make me feel sorry for the humans on the stand side of your ground

3000 would be solid estimate 2500:500 split Would have thought about 2000 Bohs, no idea about the Cork crowd.

Bohs v UCDLooked a bit lower than the last time we were there but I didn't see the home end of the stand.

We are not the only club that have this problem. I'm not going to defend them though. They are scum looking for a fight, plain and simple. Most of them would only see promotion as an opportunity to cause trouble at bigger fixtures. I don't like the implication however that because I chose to stand on the terrace rather than sit in the stand that I am somehow subhuman.

The far side of your ground is packed full of sub-human creatures.
If they were at my club I (A) Wouldn't associate with them (You'd swear there was nowhere else to stand in Oriel) and (B) Would be doing everything in my power to get rid of them.
Oriel, outsides of Colmans, the only ground I've been shaped at in this season.
Just aswell they're all mouth and no bolli x.
Dry your eyes about the implication anyway, there isn't even a stand in Jackman to choose to sit in and I'm very much human thanks very much

Genuinely wasn't a dig,even if was perceived as such.
Just pointing out that Dundalk have fallen well off the cart in recent weeks and their,seemingly hardcore loyal following,has dwindled.Pity to see that.
Despite the dying hatred and obsession by a few Dundalk fans(sduffy)of GUFC i have alot of admiration for them-they brought 600 fans to Terryland last year when they were 3rd-and now they can only get 700 at home-yet still 3rd(albeit they're not in as strong a position as 06'.)

Drogs v Cork officially was 2,500 I think. There was tickets released in dribs and drabs all week as the stupid health and safety brigade were gradually appeased. There was defo more than that in the ground though! I'd guess 3,000.

The genuine Dundalk fans hate their presence and there has been a big clamp down in recent weeks on alcohol being smuggled into the ground which is good to see. People are getting thrown out now for unacceptable behaviour whereas before a blind eye was turned to them. Hopefully this kind of thing continues and they come to realise that Oriel is not the place for them to recreate scenes from Green Street.

1250 UCD-Longford. I've heard 2500-3000 for Bohs-Cork
Would have put Harps Kildare at 2000 tops. Very few in the stand to the left of the seats,and a good bit of room on the Town End terrace.

Wasn't completely full when I saw it on el weekly. Was 1443 earlier in the season so would say about 1100-1200 for this one.

About 1150-1200 at the RSC for the Drogheda match. Stand was fairly full plus around 50 standing outside.
1250 UCD-Longford. I've heard 2500-3000 for Bohs-Cork
Overall poor enough crowds for Cup Semi Finals. Pity the Bohs-City game not on Sunday as I sure we could have got large away support.

Galway had survival int the premier to play for .Thats huge !
I knew someone would say that.
I thought that everyone had more or less concluded what had been the case all season long - that one of Longford or Waterford would go straight down, with the other in the play-off ?
I know there was and is still the chance of Galway technically being at risk, but it's difficult to see past Longford especially now, or Waterford either really.
Time will tell I guess.
