Stato I'm going by the first few home games of the season when the attendance announced seemed (note: seemed) considerably lower than what appeared to be there. I wasn't the only one surprised.
If it's just the number of unsold tickets taken from the number printed, how do they factor in 500 Club members / season ticket holders?
And yes, I agree, with Special K on board, there's no real need to diddle the taxman. After all, "we've got fifty million in the bank" :D
about 150 at the Kilkenny Limerick game this evening. Bout 30 Limerick and 100 kids from Kilkenny.
I'd say just under 1000 there tonight. 900 if I had to guess. About ten Monaghan fans. fair played to you for coming down. Wasn't expecting even that many
About 630 at Harps V Wexford.
UCDD AFC Football Club lets its supporters keep track of attendances as well, see this thread for details.Quote:

500 Club members and season ticket holders have a book of tickets and give in one ticket at the turnstiles at each match. They just add them up. I know the guys on the turnstiles keep them separate to be counted.Quote:

I'd guess about 1200 at the RSC last night for Waterford United v Derry.
Approx 1300 at the RSC. The stand was fairly full with the exception of the away end. - 1150Quote:

dnt wana annoy d health & safety now:rolleyes: let others worry bout the taxman:cool:
1011 at the game last night according to Finatan Cassidy on Shelsweb. With that official figure I'd up my estimate of last weeks game v Athlone to 1100 as there were definitely more at the Athlone game
at least 2200 i'd sayQuote:

RE Athlone V Kildare. Tough one to call. If their stand holds 2,000, then it was about a quarter full. Very sparse really. Couple that with the people that went around the pitch, and I would say there was a crowd of 550-600 at the game.
Maybe that could be verified / contradicted by an Athlone fan?
Feck off....there were about 30 of us....can name them for you if you like.Quote:

Has to be the highest ratio of female/male supporters in the league (or any other league maybe:eek: ). This should be the key selling point of any marketing drive to the lonely bachelor farmers of Monaghan.Quote:

Dundalk v Cobh 1,500 max. Crowd well down from prev two games due to a Sunday ko, an arrangement with Cobh to suit travel plans.

Things are bad when you can name all of your away supporters individually:D.
Wexford V Kildare - I'd say 1100
well we need to buck up our attendances but i dont think there that accurate where did you get our attencance figures from could have sworn there were 600 (give our take 50) at our game vs killkenny,
well i personally am hopin for a big crowd for our game against shels the weekend and seeing a good perfromance for the support that turns out to maintain it,
people in cobh are very fickle about supporting there local team:(
No that was good for us & didnt know all their names. I just pretty much happen to know everyone connected to the club by name, it is my job to get to know our fans you know!Quote:

The average from Oriel Web for the Cobh game was 1,300.
Athlone Town vs Kildare County.
