2008 attendances

[trevy]

Stann might have the official attendance but I'd say somewhere between 900and 1000 at the RSC with a few hundred of them Shels fans who went home happy.

[Olander]

fair play to finn harps fans.

there was probably 250-300 of them in terryland lastnight :ball:

[higgins]

What attendance figure was put in for the Shels v Sporting Fingal game ?

[stann]

Attendance was slightly over 1000, that's from the official figure source, but he didn't have the exact figure to hand when I was talking to him. Will try to find out later.

[sligoman]

Very poor crowd at the Cross, about 60/70 of which were Rovers. Shocking weather.

[christo]

542 poor souls at a dull Limerick V Kildare tonight :( :(

Thought it was quite a good match myself :D

[dcfcsteve]

Not anywhere near as much as Cork though. As indicated by the fact that seven of Cork's attendances beat your third best crowd. For an across-the-season calculation, you want to factor in standard deviation, when Cork beat youz hands down. So to say Cork have been getting "10% less than Derry all season" is patently untrue. But given you think 4=8, I won't expect you to understand maths that complicated.

About 700 at Pat's v UCD tonight.

Stu - you're excelling even your own good self at nonesense here... :eek:

Averages exist to give a figure over time that deliberately evens-out peaks and troughs.

Within that, City have a better average attendance than Cork. We also, as you've alluded to, have had the top two best attended games in the entire league this year. Most normal people would be happy to accept that those stats suggest that we have the biggest support in the league.

You may think having seven games higher than our third best attendance (WTF ?!?) is an achievement worthy of mention, but I doubt many others care. Hows' about the stat that really matters - we had two games with a higher attendance than every other club in the league... :cool:

[sligored]

can you post an update stu

[Green&whitearmy]

i'd say about 1100 at the bray drogheda match on friday, could be corrected on that now, and what was up with the 20 or so drogs kids trying to get at the bray fans, it was funny watching it.

600 at most at the game.

Not very well though, as we've seen; outlying data is a major problem with averages and that's why standard deviation exists.

To put it in context, Cork's crowds against Bohs, Bray (twice), Cobh, Pat's, Sligo and UCD (twice) were all higher than yours. They had the highest crowd in the three games involving yourselves, and the highest crowd in games against Drogheda. Derry only had higher crowds against Harps twice (the outlier which is distorting the average), Galway and Rovers. Add to that the fact that Cork's attendances are official and yours aren't and are probably overstated (as with most guesstimates), then your claim that Cork have "been getting 10% less than City all season" is simply wrong.

[Buile Shuibhne]

Shels Vs Franchise last Monday night was 1,244

[Hitman]

Cork City v Sligo 2,464 as per official site.

[Paddyfield]

thought it was 2980 that was said myself?

[Terry]

dont be showing off your camera work !!!! ;)

[gael353]

theres some first div clubs in there lads and no matter how many times ive seen them you could go to 3/4 games add their totals and still not make their averages. I think our attendences are bigger now this year then last as our figures last year were dubious.

[hollocaine]

About 150 at Longford v Wexford

[RonnieB]

For another ****e home performance.

[micls]

On the Cork Derry point(while it matters little). Lets not forget our attendances are the official ones. Our estimations last season were definitely higher than the official attendances we've been seeing this year. Id imagine the same would be true in Derry

e.g. The cup quarter final poeple were claiming 2500 ish when in fact tehre were 1800 people in the gate in the Brandywell

[L37Ultra]

But they were official attendances last year too

[Lamper.sffc]

sporting fingal v mon was 388 :(

[L37Ultra]

Average attendace down by 28 people since last year

Premier Division average is up a good bit which is the main thing.

Expect Limerick's attendance to rise dramatically next season

[Inside Man]

Sligo Rovers V Bray: 3,000 In the showgrounds for a unreal night last night lads.
1,700 main stand.
400 behind both goals together.
900 in Jinks and in front of Jinks.
Guestimate. Will try to contact someone for an official figure tomorrow.

[pineapple stu]

800-odd at UCD-Galway apparently. Haven't gotten an official figure yet.

Good crowd from Galway; plenty of UCD supporters too (mainly freebies, probably).

[oriel]

Stu

Do you have figures for all clubs highs and lows this season ? Prob better waiting until tonights games in the First

Thanks for compiling all the stats again this year, its always interesting to see each week and must take up a lot of your time.

[Sam_Heggy]

About 1100 in Finn park last night, prob 500 more paid in but filled the surrounding pubs around half time to keep an eye on UCD - Galway game. Great Rovers support around 100 + up.

[sligoman]

3,500 in the Showgrounds according to RTE radio.

[oldyouth]

I'd say approx 700 at Ferrycarrig Park last night but that went down to 699 when 'Elvis left the building':D

Absolute ****, but he has promised to come back and see us next year.

[rebelarmyexile]

2,038 at Shels V Limerick last night

[Youths4Ever]

567 was the official attendance figure I was given for game last night

What was the attendances in Kildare last night?

[holidaysong]

What was the attendances in Kildare last night?

I'd say about 1,000. Happy Dundalk fans making up the vast majority of that.. That's a complete guess though, I'm sure Kildare fans would have a better idea.

[pineapple stu]

600-700 I thought.

New stands hold 500? 450 there. 150 tops in the old stand (holds 250?). Another 100 standing around. The stands are small, but were packed, so it looked more at a first glance.

[Terry]

A friend was at the match (travelled down from dublin) an guessed the crowd at around 600, with around 500 of that from dundalk.

[Nesta99]

680 i was told the new stands in Kildare hold, so about 700 Dundalk fans in total + Kildare support(somone else can hazard a guess)

[pineapple stu]

If they hold 680, I'll add 150 to my guesstimate, which would make it 750-850.

[Tir Oilean]

800-odd at UCD-Galway apparently. Haven't gotten an official figure yet.

Good crowd from Galway; plenty of UCD supporters too (mainly freebies, probably).

No way were there 800 plus at the Bowl. Galway had roughly 500 defo not 300 from UCDD

[Paddyfield]

Agreed.

Fair play to UCD who had a schooboy games at half time plus a game for a few hairy graduates as well. The stewards were strict but very friendly and professional. UCD played as if their lives depended on it and could have sneaked a late equaliser which would have kept Harps in the Premier and releagated us.

[pineapple stu]

Nope, crowd was definitely over 800. Will get the official figure on Monday, but 800+ was what I was told in the Montrose. Definitely 300 UCD fans too, if you include the Mount Merrion teams, the hairy graduates (+ vaguely decent keeper).

[Marco]

Ramblers v Bohs roughly 1000 at game

[Paddyfield]

Nope, crowd was definitely over 800. Will get the official figure on Monday, but 800+ was what I was told in the Montrose. Definitely 300 UCD fans too, if you include the Mount Merrion teams, the hairy graduates (+ vaguely decent keeper).

Was the keeper the one with 80's Duran Duran haircut who was selling match programmes outside....with a D4 twang? Is that you Stu? Jayzus, I should've said 'howya'. I also had a brief chat with the the long haired bloke selling fanzines outside.

Also, it was great to link up with Limerick fan gspain at the game. One of his kids was wearing a Galway United scarf!

[holidaysong]

If they hold 680, I'll add 150 to my guesstimate, which would make it 750-850.

Yeah about 800 seems to be the consensus. That'll bring Kildare's average up a bit.

[JC_GUFC]

Yeah I noticed the keeper was following in Matt Gregg's footsteps and scored a goal!

I was worried that Pete Mahon was going to bring on Harpo in the second half - he looked to have a few tidy touches in the game too! ;)

[oldyouth]

567 was the official attendance figure I was given for game last night

What was the attendances in Kildare last night?
I never question your sources Y4E but I noticed there were a good few U12s on a season end jolly (supervised on pre-arranged buses etc BTW). Given that the Youths let these in free, were they counted???

[Youths4Ever]

Yeah then are usual counted in the official figures once then get a ticket from the booth as far as I know

D4 twang?!:eek:

The long haired fella was Bald Student, oxymoronically.

[pateen]

How many at Cork vs Bohs?

[eelmonster]

I'd say about 1,000. Happy Dundalk fans making up the vast majority of that.. That's a complete guess though, I'm sure Kildare fans would have a better idea.

1023, match report on kildarecountyfc.com (http://www.kildarecountyfc.com/news/news-details.asp?NewsID=1049)

1023, match report on kildarecountyfc.com (http://www.kildarecountyfc.com/news/news-details.asp?NewsID=1049)

Well if that's the case there must have been 950 there from Dundalk. That'll prob pay their wages for all of next season.

[KevB76]

I think our attendences are bigger now this year then last as our figures last year were dubious.

No way gael, we definitely had bigger attendances last year no question, if anything I'd say this years figures were dubious.

On a positive note though, attendances picked up towards the end of the season.
