2008 attendances

[sadloserkid]

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

He's also failed to give one example of a 4,000+ crowd.

Of course you're right he failed to give one example of a 4,000+ crowd.
He gave two! ;)



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

Considering the pope is both alive and factually verifiable, he is rather far from being a legend.

Limerick-Athlone: 649

we're doing well, our seasons nearly over, pretty much nothing matches left and our attns are rising all the time! mad

[stann]

Official 865 in total at the RSC tonight.

[Partizan]

Official 865 in total at the RSC tonight.

Does that include season ticket holders or is that just paying audience.

[stann]

All-in we were informed.

[oriel]

Seems quite a low figure for such an important match, surely there was more than this ? how many away fans ?

[holidaysong]

About 100-150 Dundalk fans there I reckon. A couple of bus loads didn't get in until there was about half an hour gone..

[stann]

Unfortunately for us this season, it was one of our bigger gates of the year (one or two bigger near the start, and the first Wexford game).
150 Dundalk fans sounds about right to me too.

[SPXcyan]

looked like alot more than that last night im surprised by that figure!

[Buller]

Anyone know how many were at Terryland for the semi-final on sunday?

[Mr A]

It was about 3000.

[sligoman]

It was about 3000.:eek:, and not the 4000-5000 predicted by Conor, surely not?
Our Cup Semi on Sunday week should have 4000-5000 there.

[Rovers Maniac]

Officially it was announced as 2,800 odd as far as i know

[Conor H]

If you look on our forum you'll see the common consensus is that the crowd figure given was wrong.

There was just shy of 4000 in the ground.Both stands were full with alot of people standing up in the back of the old stand and in front of the new one.

Still think 4000 was a poor crowd for a Cup Semi.

[The Lilywhites]

Must be a Galway thing that.

So are you saying that Galway united are telling fibs and there was a lot more than the official figure?

With to Dundalk lads here this :D

[Youths4Ever]

official attendance at Youths v Mon was 574

[brendy_éire]

There was just shy of 4000 in the ground.Both stands were full with alot of people standing up in the back of the old stand and in front of the new one.

How many do the stands hold? They were both more or less full. There was almost a thousand of us. 4,000 in total sounds about right.

[Inside Man]

I would have guessed around 3,300 to be honest. I thought Galway would have gotten something like we got in our semi against Derry a couple of years back, so was suprised to see such a poor turnout.
Enjoyed the game and atmosphere. And it was a good result for us as it means we are still in contention for europe.

[Martinho II]

our game had a good attendance .. shels brought a large travellin support reckon that our gate was around 500 people

[Battery Rover]

Athlone Town vs Sporting Fingal official attendance 263

[Lim till i die]

Wouldn't Derry have brought clickers for the turnstiles to make sure they got the correct share of the gate?

I know that cup attendances are normally spot on because of this.

Not sure if split is different in Semi-final though :confused:

[Patrick Dunne]

The official attendance at the Galway United vs Derry City semi-final was 2,874.

If would have estimated the crowd at 3,500, but seeing as the gates were monitored by Derry City, I would have to take the above figure as correct.

[gufct]

Just wondering Pa what way they accounted for the family tickets €30 for 2 adults & 2 kids that could be where the discrepancy is as there was a lot of them sold in Galway and Derry.

[holidaysong]

2,000 (http://www.dundalkfc.com/matchreports/081030_Limerick.asp) at Dundalk vs. Limerick.

[pineapple stu]

362 at UCD v Bohs (that's the Big Club, for reference...)

[topia]

ah no need to be bitter, a ucd fan slagging another club over their attendance...irony of all irony! you do realise that this was a meaningless game for bohs and a relegation decider for you, yet the attendance was that low and you expect the away fans to boost your it????????????

bohs attendances (home and away)should be better for league champions but something you should take on board is that the bowl on a cold night is not an attractive destination, not least for a meaningless game (for the away fans i mean)

get your own house in order before slagging other clubs for not bringing enough fans to your games especially when the game means so much to your club

[Sam_Heggy]

Awful crowd in United park, 500 at most with over 50 of that Harps fans. Disappointing when you consider the financial plight they are in and the fact they are last season league champions.

[superfrank]

I'd say there was between 300 and 400 at the Bray match last night.

[Martinho II]

monaghan town match **** crowd reckon sixty to seventy people at it..

Not one bit surprsing, drog fans are well known for deserting their club in times of need, the season before they got promoted, 2001 I think, they got well below 500 at most games. I could never understand why the people of the town didnt get behind their team more when they needed it.

[Inside Man]

2,200 at least for the rovers game. Not official as i was not chatting to my mate at turnstiles tonight. But at least 2,200 is open to correction.
150-200 Shams fans at the game.

[Rovers fan]

Would have said 2000. 1500 in red stand. About 500 between the blue stand and the two ends. One of our bigger crowds of the season.

O ya and our average figure for the season which is 1881 is definitely way to much. It can't be much more than 1500,our attendances are constantly overestimated.

[red bellied]

Fairly accurate judgement from inside man. Bout 80 Shams though, another thing Rovers fan, main stand= 1700 full. 1550 seats plus area at back of stand!

[Inside Man]

Would have said 2000. 1500 in red stand. About 500 between the blue stand and the two ends. One of our bigger crowds of the season.

Agreed 1,500 red stand. Big crowd behind goal on both sides which i estimated at 300. About another 400 in Jinks = 2,200.

Don't know why you would think that. When i have been handing yous official figures for alot of the season. And i seen the ones early on. Nothing overestimated in them. It is of course over 1,500, seeing as for nearly all of our games would see the red stand full if you take people from behind both goals and put them in = 1,500 at least as red stand holds 1,750. Then to say there is another 300-500 in blue stand is very accurate if you ask me. hence the 1,900 average as we have got some bumper crowds this season also ; Pats early on, Shams x 2, Derry, Bohs early on. Which would bring the average up on woefull home attendances such as UCD. So don't come on here and say my figures aren't accurate when they certainly are.

[sligoman]

150-200 Shams fans at the game.Wasn't that many, 100 maximum.

[Inside Man]

Wasn't that many, 100 maximum.
Agree with that actually i was wrong there but i still stick to my estimation.
