Fingal called out 1261 at their game last night.
I'd not have put it over 1000.

Not sure how they come up with the figures ?

Maybe they counted the tickets sold, whereas you were just guessing on the crowd you saw.

You think ?

Spoke with a few others too that would have put the crowd under 1000. Last time we were there the crowd figures didn't add up with the official number either in my opinion.
They sell a family pass for a price that's less than two adults. I imagine when two adults buy one of those tickets it goes in as 4 people ?

3,100 seats at the Brandywell.

I would say about 3,700 there last night. Has to be the worst ever Harps attendance there in years, Understandable though I supose.

Where are you getting your crowd figures from?

Did you go around and take a picture of every single person there? Or did you just stand up on your seat and have a quick glance, then pick a number based on what you think that many people would look like?

Any thoughts on the crowd at Tolka last night? Would have guessed around 1200 with around 100 Cork.

Should have been a big game for Rovers? What happened to their Support?

Certainly not 6000 at Brandywell last night, I'd have put it at 4000.

Of course I didn't take pictures!

I've been at a load of games in my time and know what a crowd of 1261 looks like. I didn't think there were that many there last night but could be wrong. If I am wrong then so are the others who I've talked to.

But no big deal, it doesn't really matter I suppose.

No offence. but i think ill stick with the official attendance announced. Sporting have been honest with their attendances all season. When we got some really low attendances they where given. There was no attempt to announce the attendances higher than they where.

What about this family ticket lark? That's definitely ambiguous so don't know how you can give exact attendances based on ticket stubs.

no more than 700 at Colemans park last night if even that . Probably the worst 45 mins ive ever seen by a gufc team.

The official announced attendance for Limerick game lst night was 471. Thought it seemed a little high.

The freebies made it high (kids, local club freebies etc) our smallest gate it would seem for adults. fair play for bringing a gang though

Fair enough point, presume you mean counting a family ticket as 4 when maybe only 3 came in but maybe 5 or 6 came in on some tickets aswell and an average is taken from these tickets. ( not sure if this is the way they do it, maybe they have a different method)
Im still going to believe the attendance given by the club rather than some person scanning the crowd and making a guess. The chances are that the clubs crowd announcement is closer than people guessing.
Just my opinion. Not a biased one either, if it was another club you where talking about, i would make the same argument

Another absolutely shocking attendance for us. The crowds have been going down of late but I'd expect more than 500 (even) for a UCD match.

Figure given by mate who works the turnstiles was 2,047. I rounded it up to be nice but that is it defo. Go with whatever you like doesn't bother me I did my part by putting it up, thats all i can do.

terrible crowd at the bray game but there was more than 500 at it, i would prob say about 700-800.

The new stand (capacity 985) is at most one third full (empty up the far end, maybe half full down where there were about 30 Bray fans making a bit of noise). Maybe 100 in the new stand and 100 behind the goal? That's my 500 anyways. The stand's emptier on MNS than it would have looked in the fuller end.

Edit - been told 450 for UCD-Derry.

thats is nowhere near our real attendance this year. we've been averaging 1,000 to 1,200 and thats being generous. whens the last time you've been to finn park finnpark

He may be looking at the average which would include a (similarly inflated?) game against Derry to boost it.

Did people claim the first Harps Derry game got 6000 ?
No way you'd get that into Finn Park!!

Urinating and puking in peoples gardens on Churchill would hardly endear the Bohs support to Sligo people.

Damn all went on at the game

A few "tough" guys (a lot of whom were 12) decided to rattle the fence and then the bohs fans taunted them for a while.

Much ado about nothing

Exuse me so. I was on other side and saw everything. It looked as if Bohs fans were causing Havoc. Enticing Rovers Fans on other side and standing on wall and trying to pull down the fence between both sets of fans and causing trouble for the stewards. But if you had a closer view then I'll take your word for it.

Ya somethin like that :D

It prob looked like trouble from other parts of the ground inside man, but it was just a lot of shoutin and fist waving really.

I didnt see anything happenin with bohs fans on church hill so cant comment on that.

in fairness RTD is correct. Bohs always bring their fair share of knackers to Sligo, and all it was,was the younger lads our side getting upset because the Bohs lads on Bavaria were allowed stand on the wall, and there were 3 or 4 hard men our side getting their knickers in a twist, kicking at the fence and making noise over nothing really. The stewards couldnt have done anything except actually push the Bohs fans on the wall off the wall, but sure where would that get us...

I wonder if we're getting close to a time when NOBODY will turn up for a game. A possible fixture next year - UCD v Kildare in the First division - could go close. Look out for it. Could be some kind of record, anyway.

A few years ago I was at an end of season game between St Francis and Cobh on a Friday night.
When the teams came out for the match there were 4 people in the ground. While the match was on there were 42 watching, including Brian Kerr & Noel O'Reilly.
