I got 120 from a very rough count there. Going on previous experience, I can fully believe Pineapple Stu's figure of 180. Both of the sections out of shot usually have a fair scattering of people in them unless it's ****ing rain.Quote:

Fingal V Finn Harps
attendance 455
Mervue - Shels estimated at 300
I'd say between 350 and 400 with a slight Shels majority. Think 300 is a little conservative.
Bray v Pats: 1800 approx
Rehab Bingo stand just about full - 900 plus 900 in Dart side stand and behind the goal.
Were Pats not playing in town tonight no? :confused:Quote:

I couldn't see the exit from the press box. I just saw people from the Pats crowd walking by towards the exit.Quote:

I'd say all the Pats fans just got straight on the DART after the match. A lot of them left at the final whistle, whereas a lot of Bray fans just stayed around to celebrate.
what's the story with the rehab stand I thought that was for home fans?
We were surrounded by pats fans although thankfully they were decent fans not like some of the runts that were there. TBH I was surprised as I can;t really ever remember any problems with pats fans before or is my memory going?
An estimate of 1150 at Drogs vs Rovers by extratime
The official attendance at Waterford United v Longford only 320. Very poor crowd and the move to Saturday evenings is not working especially when the premiership season is still on.
Official attendance Athlone Town vs Wexford Youths 622
The Liverpool game killed any possible attendence, along with Munster v Leinster.Quote:

I even got home in time for it. No damn excuses.... 306!!!Quote:

At a very rough estimate I'd say 200, maybe 250 at UCD v Kildare, but I wasn't focused on taking in how many were there. Do we still do official figures?:confused:
That's shocking. How are Waterford staying afloat with attendances that poor?Quote:

250 too high, 200 tops.
Their budget is tiny.Quote:

Estimates were badly out, possibly because it was lashing rain and the crowds seemed to be packed under the roof. obviously not tho!!
Est for Drogs v Bohs and Rovers. Prob 1,500ish for both games. crowds are defo down a good bit this season. Seems ticket prices are a big issue from talking to different fans. Cant be the football anyway, as we're playing smashing stuff!
one of the posters on our forum who shall remain nameless rang me friday night asking me what time will I be up at the match at? I said to him what are you on about and he said Ltfc Waterford match. As it turns out he was driving up from cork to waterford and was in Dungarvan and I had to tell him that Waterford had switched to saturday nights.Quote:

bit surprised there was a bigger turnout in athlone than our game..:eek:
Not based on some of the reported crowds in week 5 they wont, first div especially.Quote:

But this is the only way you can really judge what way the trend is going.
Poor form by Bohs on Friday.
Half the away fans put on the open terrace when raining. Then they were mo ved to the Jodi before Bohs stopped all away fans from getting food at half time. Never seen a single incident between home & away fans in the Jodi so Bohs decision had no merit. Not exactly a way of boosting attendances.
And the worst part was that they only moved you from the Connaught Street side because they'd just sold it to a bloke down the pub.Quote:

It's just the usual minnowism of not letting on at how bad the attendances are. The FAI should mandate that official figures be published by clubs. Was anything like this suggested at the fans' forum ?
'A' Championship Attendances over the weekend:
Tullamore v Derry City 230
FC Carlow v Cork City 166
