2008 attendances

[oriel]

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

www.dundalkfc.com now has the report on line, it says 'approx 2,300'

[Seagull-4-life]

The last few crowds at the carlisle have been a joke

[DmanDmythDledge]

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.
I wasn't at the game* so can't say how many was there but a Sligo fan on their forum said there was about 60 max.

*just like yourself but you seem to know somehow...

[sligoman]

*just like yourself but you seem to know somehow...There's also a UCD fan on our forum telling us we had 8.

[DmanDmythDledge]

There's also a UCD fan on our forum telling us we had 8.
And you're point is...

That's obviously ****** but don't see why you're bringing it up as it has nothing to do with gufct's post.

[Rovers1]

And you're point is...

That's obviously ****** but don't see why you're bringing it up as it has nothing to do with gufct's post.

there was about 50-60 Rovers fans there.

why do UCD fans always get so worked up about attendances??!

[sligoman]

why do UCD fans always get so worked up about attendances??!Because they're not used to getting much of them.

[Rovers1]

Because they're not used to getting much of them.

OH!!! BURN!!! :cool:

Sligoman went downtown and he's not comin back!

[DmanDmythDledge]

Not worked up at all. I've no problem admitting our crowds are pathetic, even by League of Ireland standard.

I think it was fair enough to challenge gufct saying there was over 100 Sligo fans when he wasn't even at the game.

[pineapple stu]

I think it was fair enough to challenge gufct saying there was over 100 Sligo fans when he wasn't even at the game.
Par for the course gufct talking nonsense on the attendances thread; wouldn't pay heed to him. He reckons there were 1000 (http://foot.ie/showthread.php?t=85021&page=66) (post 1307) in their new stand (pictured) at our game, for example.

Never 60 Sligo fans at our game either.

[oldyouth]

290 was confirmed as the official for UCD v Sligo.
I'm not Wumming, but I have to say you are going to get some poor crowds 'if' you end up playing in the 1st division next year

[pineapple stu]

We've been in the First Division before, don't forget. Average was 306 that time. Away support for the lesser games like Sligo isn't all it's cracked up to be, so we won't be missing out on much, and we didn't lose that much of our home support last time. We can't go up against Leinster though given we're right in the middle of rugger-bugger heartland.

[Schumi]

Never 60 Sligo fans at our game either.I would have thought 50-60 was close enough based on people coming in when I was selling programmes. There were only a couple singing but there were more fans than them at the game.

[John83]

I would have thought 50-60 was close enough based on people coming in when I was selling programmes. There were only a couple singing but there were more fans than them at the game.
Yeah, it was certainly more than 10. I could believe 50-60 no bother.

[oldyouth]

. We can't go up against Leinster though given we're right in the middle of rugger-bugger heartland.
I know what you mean, we're in Gaaaaah land here but we hope to convert a few on Saturday in the final. I've seen lads buying tickets for the game and you'd swear they were buying some ganga they way they wanted to avoid being spotted by anyone who might know them

Ya I was talking to a few lads the other night who've never set foot in the place before, and might never again, but they have the tickets ready to go. It's going to be a fantastic night, hate the fact that I can't make it.

Yes, and the UCD fans are one big league-hating clique. ;)

Oh dear.

[Rovers Maniac]

Oh dear. Grow up.

? :confused:

[stann]

Par for the course gufct talking nonsense on the attendances thread

I'm already in bother with the anti-Delaney brigade so will refrain from the cheap and hugely overused joke that's waiting here begging to be put away. :D

Hard to know what our attendance was, but it was apparently 150 more than last week (though I've not got that official figure), I'd have said something about the 700 mark maybe.

[stann]

How's this for promptitude? :)
Official attendance at the Shels-Waterford game: 672.
Just heard the announcement in the background on the radio.

[SPXcyan]

id of thought 800 for the waterford v wexford expected more but there ya go!

[stann]

To be fair you might be right, I didn't do a count or anything this time. For all it wasn't a great game it must have been better than the last few! :D

I did think with it being Wexford and the hurling long over now that there would have been a lot more. They're just not interested.

[Martinho II]

dundalk shels game surely must be the second biggest attended game after derry drogs game, is that the case??:confused:

[oldyouth]

id of thought 800 for the waterford v wexford expected more but there ya go!
I would have thought nowhere near 800 but no matter.I made a complete **** of myself arriving for the game. Last time we were there, the new car park wasn't open, this time I drove up, lowered the window and asked the steward if the car par was open tonight. 'No bother', he advised 'that'll be €30'. I gave him my serious look of disbelief and moved forward to turn the car around and park elsewhere and then he leapt in front of the car to stop me. After a brief discussion, I realised he meant €30 for admission for me and my passenger to the game and I could park where I wanted....

Chips were nice

Right, I'll go back to my 700 then. :)
Ah yeah, they have them trained not to let a potential punter get away! :D

[shep]

A paltry 682 announced in Tolka last night

[Hitman]

959 at Cork City v Dungannon Swifts.

[Louth4sam]

www.dundalkfc.com now has the report on line, it says 'approx 2,300'

I would have thought it was slightly less to be honest but those estimates from the website are normally spot on

[LeixlipRed]

512 at Tolka tonight

[robertob]

How much people were yesterday at Tolka Park to Shamrock Rv. - Bohemians? On TV it saw just a little crowd...

[sonofstan]

Wasn't great, but it didn't help that all the fans were in the stands at either end (behind each goal) rather than on the side opposite the cameras - I'd guess about 2,000 (about half and half Bohs/ Rovers) or around half of what was there in April

[Charles Bronson]

2500 maybe? Very poor rovers crowd and poor atmosphere all round.

Bohs v Pats was 2511

[sligoman]

I can never understand how when a Dublin team plays another Dublin team that the crowds are not bigger. Excluding UCD, Dublin teams have crowds into the 1 and 2 thousands yet when it's an away game about 10 minutes away, only bring a small crowd:confused:.

Pats should have took at least 1000 to the game but they didn't,all Dublin teams should be able to bring at least 1500 with them to a derby IMO.

We bring a big crowd to all are games in Dublin even UCD.
When we played them in the first game,att. was 4105,biggest gate of the season.

I have often wondered the same too.

Is there too much football on in Dublin?

Dunno TBH - we always bring decent support to Tolka and Richmond, but Pat's and Rovers crowds in Dalymount have been poor this year. Connaught Street is not a great place to watch a game from, which might be a partial explanation - would people from non-Dublin teams like to say how our travelling numbers compare overall to Pat's and Rovers?

In my experience over the past five years Bohs have regularly brought a larger crowd to Belfield than Shels, Pat's or Shamrock Rovers.

Are UCD a non dublin team?;)

[Inside Man]

1,400 at showgrounds tonight against Cobh.

[Rovers fan]

1,400 at showgrounds tonight against Cobh.


is that official?

[Inside Man]

is that official?

No. My mate wasn't on turnstiles tonight so this was the figure told to me by a board member leaving the ground.
Would have been what I would have guessed anyway after taking a walk around during the game and getting a good look. Not a great attendance considering the night that was in it.

Bohs brought just over 700 to the last game in Richmond Park. Unlike previous games they weren't spread around the ground. Rovers have taken most to Richmond this year.

[Partizan]

450 at Waterford v Kildare County

800 at Waterford v Wexford Youths.

About 200 at the Flansiro tonite for LTFC v Blues

[Bohemian1890]

Bohs brought just over 700 to the last game in Richmond Park. Unlike previous games they weren't spread around the ground. Rovers have taken most to Richmond this year.

Pats took maybe 400 fans to the last game in Dalymount even that is pushing it.

First game id say 700-800 pats fans,Pats had more than Rovers this year first time in years.

Shams had about 300 fans this year.

[Dodge]

Don't forget that majority of Pats fans go to the Jodi. As soon as we ever ****ing score there you might see us...

[the-blue-harp]

has to be UCD!:D

shamrock rovers id say brought the biggest to finn park this year, but bohs were close, bear in mind we played bohs on a tuesday night as well,

does anyone here think if all games were switched to saturday nights then we might get better all round support. it would certainly help me getting to dublin for away games anyway. i just never seen the sense in friday nights... old debate i'd imagine.
