There was no way that there was 750 in the Carlisle Grounds on Friday night. The uncovered seated area wasnt even half full plus the grassy banks behind the town goal was sparsely attended. I'd say 450-500 max and I'm being generous there.

Maybe it was just The Star's usual nonsense attendances. In which cas,e imagine what the real crowd at the Carlisle was! :eek: :pQuote:

Facts, Partizan, facts. :rolleyes:
That was the paying customers, what about season ticket holders and concessionaries. Some WUFC fans like SPX have a habit of underestimating like yourself.
Fact: The stand in the RSC holds 1275 not the 1000 odd that is frequently stated here.
I just guess an attendance by lookin in the stand in games! everybody knows a guess will never be exact!
your new managers 1st match, local-ish derby, absolutely shocking! :eek:Quote:

Our attendence was over 2k so we were ok!
Limerick Vs Kilkenny was the lowest attendence in over two years. 275 which was pretty poor.
There were about 400 at the Bray-Waterford game on Friday. The topic was raised at one stage of the game, as we wondered where everyone was.
And 6 of them were Mons fans....including 3 mad looneys who almost got thrown out of the clubhouse....:o (not me I hasten to add!)Quote:

The Star's numbers are always crazy, but then their description (also used by the Times and, most embarrassingly, United's official website) of our goal was that Lamberski scored from a Hughes cross. Hughes had been substituted at half time and everyone in the ground knew it was a Wes Charles own goal from a Paul McCarthy cross. The laziest journalism I've seen this season.Quote:

Re the Blues v Pats game: I wasn't online at the time (I was in a 3 week huff after another humiliating defeat), but I remember thinking the one positive was that at least there was a half decent crowd. I estimated 1000 - Blocks C to E were nearly full, not sure about B and Pats had a good travelling support in Block A. The usual 100 or so spread around the ground too.
One of the club directors told me the pay-on-the-gate figure was 812 so I'd say 1000 is a reasonable guess........not that it matters - another hour and a half that we'll never get back!

It'll be a rubbish crowd in line with everyone else getting rubbish crowds during the World Cup.Quote:

I think our worse crowd in recent memory was against Limerick in the first division on a rainy Monday night. It was 175 that day and I think your right, we could get less than that this evening.Quote:

Pineapple,
would you mind typing in, in future the proper attendance figures for the RSC, preferably those of us who frequent there which oddly enough correspond with the figures given by Waterford News & Star.
I'll type in the proper figure if it's given to me, Partizan. :rolleyes:
I will not go out and get the Waterford Star just to type in the figure because you couldn't be arsed yet decide to moan when I don't psychically come up with the relevant number.
What are you talking about? Fellow WUFC have been pointing this out to you yet you are oblivious. :(Quote:

I can't go back and edit my post because it's too late.
I have updated my Excel sheet.
I do put in the figure given to me by people who frequent the RSC, despite your claims otherwise.
I do not have a vendetta against Waterford or their attendances. I don't care one way or another, in fact.
What more do you want?
simply really? That doesn't make sense:confused:.Quote:

But - as usual - it's left to the country's most cultured club to tidy up the spelling ... (it's 'grammar')Quote:

185 at UCD-Waterford.
Jaysus, I know I'm not good at estimating crowds but don't think their was that many?:confused:.Quote:

The main stand was about 70% full, there were about 100-150 standing at the Shed End.
Though to be fair, it is also on the North Coast as well....Quote:
