2011 attendances

[pineapple stu]

I heard the Cork game was held up 15 minutes to allow the crowd to get in? That's not a particularly big crowd though; what happened last night?

[sligored]

Great occasion in derry - derry have great fans - ridiculous about 1000 fans queing for 2 holes in the wall to buy tickets 45 minutes before the match. Was hoping for a quick pint but that was scuppered by a 25 minute queue.
I dont mind paying 15 euro in but charging a tenner for my 7 year old kid was over the top. Considering it is 20 euro for him for the season in the showgrounds and that gets into 18 games.
And we are trying to get kids to league matches.
And to finish my rant we were stuck in that dreadful Section A in the corner with the worst view of a football match bar none in the league.
Derry , sort out the match experience - ye are back in the premier league so start treating away fans properly.
I await other fans experiences before deciding if i go back.

I'd agree about the ticket selling but you cant really complain about away fans been given the worst seats in the house as I'm sure it will be a bit of a squash for Shams fans in the away section at the showgrounds next week.

[Dave_SRFC]

I doubt that... I'd have said more like 4,500 or so...

1,512 in Terryland

Where you at both grounds?

[oriel]

An average of 2,785 for the PD last night, obviously helped by Rovers and Derry but still an excellent start for the league after the usual crisis and doom and gloom pre season. Even higher if Cork were in PD.

A great start !

The ticket scenario was a joke, I was queing for about half an hour aswell but to be fair we are no better in that regaurd.
As for the view well there is not much Derry can do about that, they can hardly lump us in the middle of the stand and if we were put in the jungle side then people would be complaining about being left open to the elements.

Should be another big crowd in the showgrounds for the shams game next week.

[Sam_Heggy]

About 700 at the Harps game last night imo. I'll post official figure when I get it.

was that with the freebie schoolkids in the second half? first half there was less then 300 people there

[nigel-harps1954]

My guess is about 550. Not a hope it was 300 gael353. We had less than what was there last night all of last season when each game was averaging out at about 480. There was definitely less than 700, no less than 500. Those schoolkids aren't counted, unless they pay at the start.

Happened a few times last season too. Our fans, particularly the non regulars have the very annoying habit of all turning up 5 minutes before kick off.
