Dundalk V Mons, approx 1,500 as per www.dundalkfc.com

This is well up on our last few home crowds.

Yet more proof that Summer football is the cause of all our problems....

Premier Division average - 1,913 (1,687; 1,535; 1,759; 1,853)
First Division average - 643 (722; 570; 520; 512)

Overall average - 1,338 (1,235; 1,070; 1,195; 1,218)

Who said crowds were down? While not 100% accurate due to some estimates. I also think the estimates this season are a lot more accurate than a few years ago.

Offical?I would have said far less than 1,000

No..... guesstimate?!
There was definately at least 1000 there deecay, we had the riverside open aswell incase you were barstoolin it at home. We get better crowds on the southside than we do up in tolka - pity ucd, pats or bray cant return the favour!

320 Offical giving on radio fro Waterford - Longford

sounds exactly right if you take away the season ticket holders! add them to it and you get about 500 max I think! wasn't a good attendance at all :(

Unfortunately for the cash-strapped Suirside club, the fans failed to answer repeated appeals for support and, on a beautiful, warm night, only 320 turned up including season-ticket holders. :mad:

Should have read all the threads before you posted blue-army, you're not helping to clear up the confusion, that's for sure.
It's already been well discussed that 320 was put about as an official figure, but that it was clearly not the full attendance figure. Most of the press people questioned it and came to the conclusion that it was the 'paid in' figure. The RTE lad didn't, obviously, or didn't change his copy accordingly.
However we're only arguing another hundred and fifty or so, and the point remains that, despite all the appeals for help and support, once again the 'football people' of Waterford have in no uncertain terms shown their contempt and disdain for the club. The people knocking the ****e out of themselves running WUFC have to start asking exactly who they're doing it for. :mad:

Still can't believe this crowd 320 people to turn for a game when pushing for promotion is terrible

v St.Pats there was 920, v Bray the attendance given to me was 805:confused:

Cork City v St Pats reported as 3,940 official.

Dodge

28/07/2008, 10:56 AM

Poor really
A cork friend of mine said it was your best crowd this season. I'm obviously ot in a position to argue

BTW at a meeting with patrons last week, Pats reported that attendances are up 13% on last year, and last year was up 6% on the year previous

adamd164

28/07/2008, 12:40 PM

I thought it was more like 4500 there last night, club probably playing it down for monetary reasons.

Poor crowd, I knew the stickfighting would hit us.

Well, depending of course on whether or not they're making a profit on it.

Used to be the case that for some reason, our attendances excluded season ticket holders, of which there are close to 1000.

adamd164

28/07/2008, 12:49 PM

btw, I think the official attendance at home to Drogs was higher (about 4 and a half thou, iirc).

A few of our games have been over 4k. Biggest was Bray

Last nights crowd looked quite big, but I think it was because of the nice weather. A few people chose to sit in the St Annes leaving spaces in the other stands.

Shed wasn't packed as it usually is if there's a bumper crowd.

Just under 4k isnt bad, though we should be getting higher, but I thought wed have less because of the hurling.

superfrank

28/07/2008, 3:57 PM

We got over 4,700 for the first game against bray

A few of our games have been over 4k. Biggest was Bray
Glad to see we're such a big draw down there. :D

600 was the official attendance at Wexford v Kildare last night. Not a bad figure for a Monday night game.

29/07/2008, 5:30 PM

you can split the diff if you like but the official attn last night was just shy of 400, i on the other hand counted 176. And it was free in

Traffic coming into Cork as we were leaving was unreal, the ehh big road before the tunnel was back up for about 2Km.

Guesstimate of about 1700 for Bohs-UCD. Bohs seem to have stopped putting official figures in their programme.

harps supporters were guesstimating around 600 at the match with GUFC and the star had a figure of 1185 which sounds fairly official even if it is the star !!!!!

Didn't Derry's chairman say that all this talk of them getting 3000/4000 attendances was a load of cack and they actually get about 1500 for games?

He said we get about 2,000.

He also said something confusing about �paying supporters�as well - as if our large amount of season ticket holders didn�t exist.
