You've no idea how good the estimates are if there's no official figures to back it up.

I'm not saying they're 40% wrong and that the Indo is spot on, but I'd say they're still higher than the official figures.

Edit - thanks for that red bellied. UCD's wrong anyway; I get official figures for all games which I assume has to be the basis for this report to carry any credibility. Don't know about the others.

Comparison of actual v Indo figures very quickly. Clubs in bold give official figures for here.

PREMIER DIVISION
Bohs - 2,099 (foot.ie) v 1,800 (Indo)
Bray - 1,400 v 1,500
Cobh - 1,215 v 1,300
Cork - 3,503 v 3,200
Derry - 3,341 v 2,200
Drogheda - 1,800 v 1,600
Harps - 1,869 v 1,900
Galway - 1,300 v 1,300
Pat's - 2,021 v 1,900
Rovers - 1,705 v 1,600
Sligo - 1,927 v 1,200
UCD - 594 v 400

FIRST DIVISION
Athlone - 407 v 407
Dundalk - 1,268 v 1,300
Kildare - 189 v 250
Limerick - 494 v 500
Longford - 563 v 500
Monaghan - 175 v 175
Shels - 1,010 v 990
Sporting Fingal - 647 v 450
Waterford - 692 v 450
Wexford - 884 v 800


Overall, not too many differences in fairness. I'm missing some recent games (will drop Sporting Fingal down, for example, and bring up Bohs after the Rovers game); most of the official figuers appear good with the exception of UCD, which is confusing!

That Derry average doesnt like right either, anytime I am up there is 3000 plus and on the television the crowd always looks decent as well.

That's taken from a quote bu the Derry chairman in a statement on their website.

One suggestion for some of the discrepencies:

The attendances on here are league averages. The Indos might include cups. I know that Cork City's crowds were much lower in the Setanta cup and we had a league cup attendance of 290 against limerick. :o

On the ccfcforum:

Ave League: 3501
Ave Overall: 3090

Ave Setanta: 2081

Possible. We had two League Cup games and one FAI Cup game against Monaghan which would have taken us way down. Puts a bit of a false tint on the figures really.

Many Bowes travelling for it, expect 100+, another guesstimate.

Aren't you great? When did you last get 4000 home supporters out for a league game? In fact, between yourselves and Rovers in the local derby did ye even manage that?

1489, if you want to be pedantic !

The figure of 950 in todays Star is incorrect, presumbaly a journalists guesstimate.

Just curious how you reckon that figure's made up. The video on YouTube shows the new stand no more than half full (750); I reckon there was 150 being generous in the new stand and about 200 around the ground, a total of 1100. I reckoned 1200 at the game. Bit of a gap up to 1500?

There was more than about 200 "around the ground". Large amount of fans behind the clubhouse-side goal. Between one or two deep along the lenght of the touchline on the Corribside Stand side.

Would there have been 600 around the ground though?

Suppose we can see on MNS from the different angle. I know you hate when people say that! :)

That picture is from before the game when the Cork stewards would only let us occupy the section on the extreme right of that stand - add to that a lot were late because of a delayed flight, and more were in the pub till the last possible minute - by the end, we'd filled two of those sections, so if any of you nice Cork people know how much they hold, then we could agree about this.

Thanks Harpo ive been involved in Matchday/Nights at Terryland for over 20 years and i felt the crowd was more than the figure reported by about 200. There was a good 400/500 in the old stand with 1,000 in the new stand plus what was around the ground.

Sad to see Stu trying to include an u13 side to boost your numbers (11 at the very most).

The new stand was two thirds full?! Not looking at the video it wasn't. Nowhere near 400 in the old stand either. I'm quite possibly out on the number of people standing around the ground, but I'm not that far out on the stands.

Yeah, imagine me counting people who were cheering for UCD as UCD fans. :rolleyes: (And to get into pedantics very briefly, there were five of the squad on our side along with a supervisor, and two rows of them the far side. They kind of stood out when we scored. :) )

And the video shows it was a clear dive. The other penalty appeal is irrelevant as you scored immediately after.
