My guess for the Monaghan- Limerick game was about 120-150. Extremely poor. About 25 of those were Limerick fans
There is absolutely no way there was 150 at that game.
One of the lads counted 39 in the stand at kick off.
Add in people in the bar and people at the sideline and it's 100 tops.
About a 100 at Monaghan alright, I thought there was more than 25 of us though? Not much more, but about 30-35? Still though, they have the infrastructure lads :D:D

Yeah, 100 just about. There were 16 of us, dont think there were any more (not counting any L37 officials).

Wexford - 1,626 (810)
Stu,
The official attendance for Wexford was 1,826.
Thanks for the positive feedback, but I would have to question 700 away fans there. The whole stand only holds 600 and WD had a quarter of that with others scattered around the side of the pitch. I'd say 300 in total. Kildare up next and you're right, that'll tell us what we should expect as typical
I thought we had nearer half the stand to be honest, judging by the reaction to the goals, most of the stand side of the pitch, and a good few at the clubhouse end I'm told. Might have been just a touch over the top with 700 alright :o , but I'd say I recognised more than 300 people there individually. :D
That's beside the point though, it was a great home turn-out that I hope holds up for ye. Should do too, ye already look a much better side than last season.
Sunny Jim, I would have said there was a few more there even, up towards 2000. How many season ticket holders have ye?

Cheers Stann,
It doesn't really matter what the split was, as there were two sets of supporters making up a good crowd enjoying The Beautiful Game. The way the wind was blowing, we didn't really hear much of your songs but yez looked as if you were enjoying it.
Now I want an honest answer here, seeing that you said you recognised at least 300 of your lads at the game. Did any of you buy a pink shirt to bring home???:D

Stu, I reported the figure of 1626 from the match report I read on extratime. 1826 was the official attendance reported. Sorry.
Not to go off topic, but heard we sold 140 pink jerseys at the match, so perhaps 1 or 2 made their way back down the Ross road!

1748 away fans at Windsor park.
About the same home fans.

Sunny Jim, I would have said there was a few more there even, up towards 2000. How many season ticket holders have ye?
I couldn't tell you. I live over 110 miles from the ground so I'm not exactly inside the loop. My season ticket number was 45 so I'd guess around 100. I'm sure someone else on here knows the exact figure.
Also I understand that season ticket holders weren't counted in the official attendance figure so you're probably right.
Finn Harps FC have confirmed an official attendance of 1,961 for the club's opening Premier Division match against Cobh Ramblers.
The club are pleased with the level of support given that the atrocious weather conditions may have deterred fans from travelling across the county to the game.
The club hope these levels of support from the fnas of the Northwest will continue and increase as the season progresses
Harps have announced an official figure, I believe the figure Mr A gave on our forum excluded season ticket holders. Hopefully the club will continue to publish the official figures from now on.

Just surprised that they had such a high percent of the crowd.

about 300+
There was nowhere near 300 of us in richmond park. I'd put it at 100-150 max. No point guessing crowds if just going to exaggerate them.

Last I heard, there were 75 individual season tickets issued. Also 2 corporate tickets are offered for sponsors and I know one of them is in the 120's.

Who cares what the proportion of Sligo fans in Richmond on Friday was? Most important is that an official attendance figure is known so we can all keep track of it on here
Just a suggestion stu, how about highlighting club's official figures from the guesstimates, maybe by putting those figures in bold.

Not that I know of, though I'd be surprised if a novelty like that wasn't snapped up by a few of us. Down this way we're not as into the sad macho bull**** that Micko abhorred so much in his press release. In fact I'd have got one myself only the pink would clash violently with my hair. :D
Actually, that's not a joke. :o

Hmmm...Easier said than done, possibly, if I get some official and some guesstimates.
I'll make a note which clubs generally give official figures at the bottom of the post from next week.

I don't know about that, I thought Derry could have possibly out numbered us.
It was hte worst attendance I have seen by Linfield in a Setanta cup match. But then again I do know quite a few people who go to every game and decided to give the Setanta cup a bye ball because of the draw.
Still suprised how poor our support was though. Our away support will be stronger I feel this year.

Grand, it would just be interesting to see how figures compare, there are a few clubs now who give the official figures now, hopefully including ourselves.
PS; it was 1961 v Cobh official figure - FACT!! :)

I was going to agree with this and thought it was a bit poor for our first home game til i heard a good few hundred counln't be bothered leaving the clubhouse and watched some of the game from the away terrace or didnt bother coming out at all for the second half, so maybe another 200 on that figure ?
What is point paying into a match and staying in the pub ?

I'd say that's about right. Maybe 150 standing round the pitch plus another 150 in stand or there abouts

6,870 unofficial at the Derry V Harps derby.
Looked a lot more but thats what I heard.
A quick edit guys. Looked about the same as the last game of the 2006 season V Cork..(8,000)...considering I've only ever missed 6 games at home since '85 I reckon I'm a good judge of attendances.
About 1,500 at least away fans.
Any Harps fans care to comment?

On the radio they said they was 3500 at it with 1000 harps fans. I thought they would be wrong

Stu, see my previous post for the Rovers game:
Restricted capacity in United Park is now 3,000 with the new barriers put in the home terrace. With that I reckon there was 2,500ish at yesterdays sh*te.

I would have said at least 7000 alright and about 1500- 2000 Harps fans. Whats the capacity of the brandy? The stand was full and there was very little standing space left in the terraces.

As you said yourself, they watched it from the away terrace/area outside the bar. Disappointing crowd I thought.

Cork V Rovers attendance anyone?
I wish th same could be said about this game (great advert for the league). Schooligans at it again last night outside Fagans aparently. Both Rovers a Cork kids as bad as each other so not blaming either side.
A shame really!

Sure the main stand (roadside one) was 80% full, about 100 in the stand opposite and 250-300 in the new goal end one.
Some muppet let off a few smoke bombs at the start in the Cork end, could breathe or see anything.
Though i thought the bangers were class

Decent game, with us playing some very nice football at times. Bray were awful.
