I'd say you're way off with that one.
The stand was probably half full, at most. Only a few people scattered around the ground too. 800 is very generous.

They're really not. I made the relevant argument here.Quote:

However, the league average after week five last year was 1,727, which means crowds are down by an astonishing 20% on last year. Caveats apply to numbers like this so early in the season, but crowds are not up by any reasonable measure.
Crowds are always higher at the start of the year, particularly in round 1. Comparing the week 5 numbers from this year with the final numbers from last year doesn't really tell us anything.Quote:

correct me if Im wrong I reckon there was around 500-600 fans at our game the other night...

Would have said about 700 as well if I had to guess. Biggest crowd so far anyway as you'd expect.
In fairness, 800 doesn't seem too ridiculous for Bray-Drogs. Maybe a bit less but not too much.
Any sign of updates on the averages or is that finished now?
Yes, it is finished. Usually pineapple stu only does updates as far as week 5.Quote:

Hundreds of empty seats near away fans section. Could easily have sold more away fan tickets too.Quote:

Any other takers for really silly questions? This thread's full of them of late.
You don't like silly questions then?
Anyway- aidz1, I think you're looking at the averages for previous years there.
If a tree falls in a forest, and no-one is there to hear or see it fall - did it really happen.....?
What kind of tree?Quote:

700 in rehab bingo stand, the rest behind the goal plus Dart side stand. Good Derry support :)
1470 official attendance at terryland
1429 at Fingal V Shelbourne
487 at the Limerick v Kildare game I think was what was announced
I'd guess 1600 at Pats-Drogheda
About 250 at UCD-Wexford. Think it was our biggest of the season, though there were fewer than usual in the outer two blocks.
