2008 attendances

[sligoman]

hang on that doesnt apply to Sligo tho.Ouch, that really hurt. No need to be so cruel.

[brianw82]

is that supposed to be a pop at Sligo gah?:eek:

Reading between the lines is obviously not a pre-requisite for foot.ie :p

[Lamper.sffc]

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 ?



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 ?


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

I know its been a while but i checked with a club steward. The crowd is recorded using clickers. So it has nothing to do with tickets stubs. Hope that clears up how we record our attendances. If you still question the attendances thats your decision which is fine.
Just letting you know.

About 30 I'd say. And very happy supporters too. :D

[oriel]

Waiting for dundalkfc.com to update match report, but would have thought there was around 2,500 at the shels game last night

[holidaysong]

I'd agree with that. Match report should be up later today with a 'semi-official' figure though..

I heard 2,500 from a sharped-dressed man after the game too.

Does anyone know what the take-up was for Dundalk FC's offer on selling the last of their home games in a bundle for a reduced price?

[LeixlipRed]

Obviously I couldn't see the main stand but 2500 sounds about right.

[L37Ultra]

Limerick V Monaghan United Official Attendance: 332

[pineapple stu]

Didn't get an official figure for UCD v Sligo, but it was no more than 250. Pathetic crowd; fair few UCD students in for free, but I presume Leinster was the bigger draw. Stupid egg chasing...

[gufct]

1,252 at terryland.Great Game best atmosphere in years should have won butcant complain about the performance all 11 and subs played like their lives depended on it.

[Kildare Lad]

About 250 at Station Road last night

[sonofstan]

Not much more than a 1,000 at Dalymount last night, I'd guess, and a crowd as comotose as the team were in the first half; with the league pretty much won, its all a bit post- coital at the moment. Guessing the only real buzz will be beating Rovers next week and putting the title beyond mathematical doubt in Drogheda.

[dublinwanderer]

1200 at bray v pats. 700 in uncovered seats and the rest scathered around!!!

bray have nothing to play for and you'l see attendances drop even more from here to end of season. starting with harps next week!!!!

[holidaysong]

I didn't see any posters around campus advertising this.. :confused:

A similar crowd to the night we were there last .Pathetic ! BIG club ! ha ha ha :confused:

Ha ha ha, where are you in the league?

[hollocaine]

Sporting Fingal v Longford Town: 482

[the-blue-harp]

Ha ha ha, where are you in the league?


that is really really poor for a team running away with the title. thats a shocking figure for the top team in the league.

its a pity you couldnt buy a few fans as well as all the best players...

[Poor Student]

I didn't see any posters around campus advertising this.. :confused:

I wasn't in the mood for competing with the C&E and B&L jocks. If you've been in UCD for some time you'll know how impossible it is to keep posters up if you're not one of the big societies.

[niallsparky]

What best players have we bought from inside the league? It's pretty senseless to slag fans on an EL messageboard about their crowds as there is obviously not much they can do about it.

Jesus wept. Mine is bigger than yours...

What exactly can Bohs do to make people come to the matches? Most clubs are doing their best to entice people to the games. It's up to the people to respond. And they overwhemingly have responded.

With indifference.

what has jesus weeping got to do with anything. 1000 going to that game and it at the homeground of the best team in the land is a downright disgrace no matter what kind of spin you try and put on it.
people chat about how theres more clubs in dublin because of the large population, yet they dont get the crowds.
so its not us, its them then is it? obviously its the marketing of the league thats holding everything back, and thats not bohs fault. they do there best, still a shocking figure. i cant get over it!

Glad you came away with something from last night, even if it was only a generous helping of indignation..

[the-blue-harp]

seems you dont mind slagging off other fans about their league position over a message board when theres obviously nothing they can do about that either, double standards.
i was implying you have the capacity to buy any players you want, and you obviously do have some of the best already.

[the-blue-harp]

Glad you came away with something from last night, even if it was only a generous helping of indignation..

hey i wasnt at the game last night, and i never expected harps to get anything, i was just happy we put in a decent showing by all acounts. so im happy enough. i have nothing against bohs, but the truth must really sting,because there is no rationalising 1000 fans for the champions elect, its sad really. this is were our league is at.

[Dodge]

still a shocking figure. i cant get over it!

HAs anyone seen the blue harp? Is he alright yet?

[Candystripe]

3,000 at Derry V Drogs

[gael353]

Limerick V Monaghan United Official Attendance: 332

smallest official crowd in ages yet about 100/150 walked in free by arriving 2 hours in advance. when asked to buy raffle tickets then most refused

[adamd164]

I dunno do Cobh release official figures, but about 3,500 down there last night.

[pcplod]

The figure they release and the true figure are probably completly different anyway but i would have thought the 3000 was the absolute max in colemans park last night. Slightly dissappointing given our clubs current sistuation and the fact that the first game was an absolute sellout, but it was welcome revenue all the same

[pineapple stu]

290 was confirmed as the official for UCD v Sligo.

[adamcarr]

290 was confirmed as the official for UCD v Sligo.
Oh dear God!

[pineapple stu]

You're shocked why?

Leinster on the same time, we're rubbish this season (like, really bad), Sligo aren't a big draw and have a small enough away support - standard crowd for us in the circumstances.

[gufct]

sligo would have at least 100 at that game as they have a very strong supporters club in dublin so they say they have poor away support is a joke stu.
