2008 attendances

[harry crumb]

Buller, sorry to have to point this out, but putting a zero before a number does not affect it.

not in this case anyway.

[pineapple stu]

I'd be fairly sure he's just slagging Cork fans.

Call it a hunch...

I don't know. I read it the same way harry crumb read it. :D He thought you were exaggerating the attendance when you put a zero at the front. :D

[Martinho II]

[Keen2win]

[kingdomkerry]

Those missing games in the premier should bring the averge up a good bit. Its looking good at this stage (healthy increases in averages)

[passinginterest]

Rovers - Bohs I saw estimates from 4300 up to 5,500. I'd say about 4,500 myself, maybe a little more.

[Buller]

Rovers - Bohs I saw estimates from 4300 up to 5,500. I'd say about 4,500 myself, maybe a little more.

Richmond Road barn was 40% full, Ballybough end was pretty much 95% full, and the lego new stand was packed full. Riverside had between 1,500 to 2,000 in it.
I keep to my 5,000 to 5,500 guess...
(4,300? Whoever guessed that was havin a laugh. Too accurate...)

[pineapple stu]

Rovers release official figures though; we'll find out soon enough hopefuly.

[passinginterest]

(4,300? Whoever guessed that was havin a laugh. Too accurate...)
Was RTE match report I think. You probably know the ground better than I do so maybe it was over the 5,000.

[Kildare Lad]

3,000 at the pats match but that is a total guess.

[manic da hoop]

Rovers-Bohs was 4,300

[Buller]

Rovers-Bohs was 4,300

I stand corrected so. But still believe there was no way there was less than 5,000 if Tolka holds 9,900... I've pics to show the ground was definately at least half full... (Please note- I would count heads the fact that I am not a UCD supporter is a major inhibiting factor)

[gufct]

165 in Terryland Tonight whoever the bright person that fixed this for the same nigt as the Champion Leagues Quarter Finals should be shot.

[dcfcsteve]

Far to early to say though.

Attendances in early part of a season will always track higher than the full-yera's trend, as support falls away for most teams as the drudgery kicks in.

Happens every year.

[alabama rover]

Rovers-Bohs was 4,300

The Rovers - Bohs had 4,300 who paid at the gates. However, for this fixture, it excludes season tickets and freebees who were not counted because of the large crowd! Actual attendance was > 4,300 but is a guess! I would probably go with 4,500. I would also have guessed approx 5,000 based on the footage SRFC TV had from the game but apparently it was less.

AR

[Schumi]

I stand corrected so. But still believe there was no way there was less than 5,000 if Tolka holds 9,900.Does Tolka hold that much? I thought it was about 9,000.

I would count heads the fact that I am not a UCD supporter is a major inhibiting factorWe all know Rovers fans can't count. ;)

[OneRedArmy]

what was the derry pats game likeI was disappointed in the crowd, given it was a top of the table clash.

About 400 from Derry and I'd guess 2,500 Pats fans = 2,900 total.

[manic da hoop]

Does Tolka hold that much? I thought it was about 9,000.

Down to 6,500 nowadays.

4,300 was the overall attendance, whether it looked like it on TV or not.

[Dodge]

I'd have thought a bit less, from both sides tbh. As son as the official number is given i'll post here

[holidaysong]

Sporting Fingal v Dundalk

I'd guess 900-1,000. About a 50-50 split between Dundalk and Fingal fans.

[Schumi]

Down to 6,500 nowadays.H&S? :eek: There's more seats than that though isn't there?

[manic da hoop]

H&S? :eek: There's more seats than that though isn't there?

Yeah, but if you ask me it can barely cope with crowds over 4,000 as it is. Complete dump.

[LeixlipRed]

Yeah, but if you ask me it can barely cope with crowds over 4,000 as it is. Complete dump.

If you don't like it **** off. Oh wait no one else will take you

[Buller]

If you don't like it **** off. Oh wait no one else will take you

Actually, I think its a very nice ground. :)

[pineapple stu]

Have updated the previous update for Rovers v Bohs (4300), Pat's v Derry (2900) and Fingal v Dundalk (1000). Will presumably get official figures for the latter two in due course.

[manic da hoop]

If you don't like it **** off. Oh wait no one else will take you

Shels are very glad to take our money. Looking forward to seeing how you begin coping without that source of income from 2009 onwards. Sorry if the truth hurts, but the place is falling apart and you know it.

[LeixlipRed]

Never indicated the place isn't falling apart. But as I said, if it's such a dive than you can gladly move elsewhere.

[monutdfc]

OT, but what are Shel's plans for a ground in the medium term? When do they have to move out of Tolka (notwithstanding that the current property slowdown might delay things) and where do they plan to go then?

[Paddyfield]

Galway United V Cork City
official attendance 1410

(including about 150 City fans)

[pineapple stu]

Ouch. Goodbye Galway...


717 at UCD-Drogheda, although I would have given an extra 100 or so.

[Maroon 7]

Ouch. Goodbye Galway...
.

Well 500 odd less than last season so we might as well pack it in now and go home.

[GalwayTillIDye]

Well 500 odd less than last season so we might as well pack it in now and go home.


Rubbish, a new coach one or two players and a couple of wins and the place will be rocking again. Rugby season's nearly over as well so less local competition on match night...

We're six games into the season ffs.....:rolleyes:

I was taking the **** a bit there.:D

[Candystripe]

3,350 Derry V Sligo

[pineapple stu]

I was being slightly sarcastic/drunk. But 500 times E20 is E10k lost in one match, which you lost badly (by all accounts), which means the trend's unlikely to reverse next match anyway. Given you lost E80k last year, you can't afford to be going down E10k a match really.

[oriel]

Dundalk V Waterford approx 1,800 as per

http://www.dundalkfc.com/Matchcentre/080410_Waterford_Matchcentre.asp

I though it was a little less than this.

[micls]

Well 500 odd less than last season so we might as well pack it in now and go home.

When we played ye up there last year, it was a tuesday and there were oer 3000 there.

[Keen2win]

938 at the Shels v Longford match

[ndrog]

Ouch. Goodbye Galway...


717 at UCD-Drogheda, although I would have given an extra 100 or so.

how many ucd fans were there do you reckon ?

[pineapple stu]

Impossible to tell really. Assuming everyone went in the ends they were supposed to, then I'd say about 400/300 UCD/Drogheda. But I didn't get a proper look at the stand to see how full it was and where.

[Schumi]

Assuming everyone went in the ends they were supposed to.Looked that way when Drogheda scored, very clear dividing line between people cheering and not. How many were on each side I don't know but our side of the roofed area was pretty full.
