2008 attendances

[brendy_éire]

26 actually.....:o

Typical Cork fan wildly exaggerating your attendences. ;)

[Paddyfield]

guesstimate 2200 at sligo galway - open to correction


2,117 Confirmed for this game. [Rovers-Galway]

This week's Sligo Weekender newspaper estimates the crowd as 1,500.

[Candystripe]

3,000 reported in various papers as attendance Stroke City V Cork, Setanta Semi.


I would say slightly under that. 2,800

[Rovers Maniac]

This week's Sligo Weekender newspaper estimates the crowd as 1,500.

If the Inside man has a figure i would go with that he would know,

1,500 would mean if you through everybody else into the new stand that was in the ground it would be nearly 300 short of being full so that as you know yourself is way off.

[oriel]

Dundalk v Fingal last night 1,700 as per www.dundalkfc.com

I have heard this may be a little bit too high ? others ?

[red bellied]

Sligo Rovers v Galway
1,700 Main Stand
250 Jinks Avenue side
100 around the rest of the ground, concurs with Inside Man's figure more or less.

[jinxy lilywhite]

Dundalk v Fingal last night 1,700 as per www.dundalkfc.com (http://www.dundalkfc.com)

Yeah it doesn't seem right. Would of said 1,500. I was in the stand so I'm judging that on the amount I saw in the shed.

1,700 is a bit high alright - 1,500 is a bit more like it (and I was in the shed)!

Yeah 20 would be an accurate enough figure, maybe 30. I also seen their minibus as I was leaving. A few of them were over getting chips at half time - they seemed like a decent enough bunch. Nice to have some away fans in Oriel for change!

[LeixlipRed]

1003 at Tolka tonight. Great crowd for a fixture v Wexford

[oldyouth]

Youths brought approx 75 to that. I tell you something, I know it is not a huge number but we do bring more than most to away games

[gufct]

1245 at Terryland tonight .United could have won by 10.

[foxx92]

attendance was proberly affected by the rugby...lowest attendence for a while...

[Sam_Heggy]

Poor crowd in Finn Park of around 1400.

Our attendances have been affected alright but unfortunatley we can't use Rugby as an excuse, it purely down to p!sh football. :o

[holidaysong]

Are Connaught not the poor relation of the other provinces in rugby? :confused:

[L37Ultra]

620 at Limerick- Waterford tonight

[Lim till i die]

620 at Limerick- Waterford tonight

Bloody good going considering we had nothing to play for and there was around 3000 heads out in Corporate Paradise watching an AIL game

Exactly, my exact thoughts. Credit to the way we are playing at the moment. Ripped Waaerford apart

But do you honestly think the likes of them would ever step foot instead Jackman Park? :p

All we have to do is cut the foot long grass that passes for a terrace and add some spinach to the hot dogs.

Sorted!! :)

And go quiet everytime someone is taking a freekick.:)

[Candystripe]

Not a great judge of away games but was informed that less than 1,800 at Bohs V Derry,and Derry once again brought the best away support outside of the Dublin area.

"But those who are so blind cannot see"



"Champions and you still won't sing"

[bohs til i die]

Bohs v Bray
1742

Bohs v Harps
1178


Bohs v Derry
I reckon around 2500



Here is two official figures (Bray and Harps) and a guess at the Derry attendance

[fionnsci]

Pats Attendances:

Drogheda - 1901
Sligo - 1350
Cobh - .........969....

[gufct]

Connacht were playing Londodn irish to a sell out crowd of over 4000. It was pouring rain in Galway and there was less than 20 there from Bray,

[superfrank]

You'd think for the presentation of the trophy, they'd have more fans crawling out of the woodwork.

IIRC, Sligo sold out their game when they were awarded the First Division title.

[Inside Man]

This week's Sligo Weekender newspaper estimates the crowd as 1,500.

Indeed. But if you bought every other Sligo Weekender this year you will find the same figure quoted. Even when we only have 900 at a match to 2,100.
So do a bit of research before posting, since when has any newspaper got near to the actual attendance. To be honest I can't really see where the 2,117 was got i would have guessed under 2,000 but that is the official firgure lads.

[holidaysong]

Connacht were playing Londodn irish to a sell out crowd of over 4000.

That's a bit different then, thanks. Would a regular rugby match for them take much away from the Galway United crowd on a Friday then?

[Candystripe]

Bohs v Derry
I reckon around 2500



and a guess at the Derry attendance

Are you including the www.kindergarden-rent-a-crowdsoitlookslikewecanfillthestand.ie in that which was almost 1,000?

[bohs til i die]

If you mean those who formed the guard of honour at full time for our team of champions, i think you'll find they are some of the clubs schoolboy section.

You must have had a lot of drink id say,Crowd was well over 1800 about 2500-3000.

[Bohemian1890]

A lot more than 1800 he was on a bus for a while drinking,then he got to Dalymount had a few more drinks (of bitter).

Since we won the league,a couple of Derry fans have been drinking a lot,Derry(Davy) and Candystripe.

[Bohemian1890]

Jodi holds 2750 so about 3000 at Hunts testimonial.
2800 actually;)

[bohs til i die]

2800 actually;)

what is 2800?

[Conor H]

Believe it or not a fair amount of people in Galway alternate between both of us.Obviously both teams have their hardcore following but there could be anything up to a couple of hundred who chose their game based on opposition/importance etc.

Both teams get crowds of 4000+ when they've a big game against good opposition.

[Bohemian1890]

what is 2800?
I though the Jodi held 2800:confused:,but on the site it says 3000

Well, I couldn`t get a seat outside of the A section of the jodie, where the 35 Derry fans with the faux Lambegs were, along with the Bohs schoolboy teams, (smallest Derry crowd I can remember since they were admitted to the league). Easily 2,800 Bohs fans there. Offensive banners also had to be removed from the small Derry turnout. Ultimately decided to vacate A to escape the Drum banging and went to the shed. Great atmosphere after the game!
Reckon Derry are the most effective team we`ve played this season, interesting cup final if we both get there

[sligoman]

Both teams get crowds of 4000+ when they've a big game against good opposition.And have Galway ever played this 'big game against good opposition' cos I don't recall ye ever getting 4000plus.

[bohs til i die]

http://www.bohemians.ie/index.php/dalymount-park/bohs-and-dalyer/Page-2.htm

Jodi holds 2742 to be precise, I did a seating plan a few years ago for the club

[Paddyfield]

1,250 at Galway United v. Bray. ( I didn't catch the last digit when it was announced). About 20 visitng fans.

(newspaper estimates 3,500 at Connacht Rugby V. London Irish at the same time, 2km away). About 1,000 visiting fans

[Conor H]

And have Galway ever played this 'big game against good opposition' cos I don't recall ye ever getting 4000plus.

Last year the attendance against ye at home was 3700.
Our Cup Semi on Sunday week should have 4000-5000 there.

I've been in Terryland where there's been 6500-7000 there.Games against Pats/Harps spring to mind.

Believe it or not Sligoman I know more about our potential crowds than you.;)

[Battery Rover]

348 at Athlone Town vs Monaghan for our FARE week equality in the workplace night promoting friendship and integration through sport and the players try and kill one another:D

[gael353]

just to show what we're up against. In limerick on friday night, a CLUB rugby match between Garryowen and Shannon had just under 4000 at it. Our main sponsor Live95 fm gave it full comentary as Limerick thumped waterford 5 1.

What are capacities of the other stands?

[bohs til i die]

What are capacities of the other stands?


Shed has 1485 seats
Connaught street has 3720 seats

[Rovers1]

:eek:....dont say that Conor!

Sligoman....knows....all!

[sligoman]

Our Cup Semi on Sunday week should have 4000-5000 there.3,700 is the new 4,000+ is it?:p

and as for the other game, you're speaking of a game in the future, can't use that as a game that had 4,000+ when it hasn't been on yet;).

[pineapple stu]

Would say about 900 at the Cobh-UCD game. Main stand was a bit under half full (400 say), 150 behind the far goal, 300 in the terrace and 30 in the other stand. About 20 from UCD, including our A team, who suddenly had a free afternoon. :)

[Paddyfield]

3,700 is the new 4,000+ is it?:p

He said 4,000+ for big games against good opposition hence less than 4,000 for a game against Sligo Rovers :rolleyes:

Seriously though, I have been to games in Sligo and Limerick (City) where there when crowds were over 5,000. This was in the mid to late 80's when facilities were far worse than they are now.

Didn't Limerick (City) play a Cup game infront of like 8,000 in late 80s up there??

Vague, vague memories.

Different times aswell though, attendances in general are gone to $hite.

Still, recession will help :)
