Would agree with you on the travelling support but would have to ask how there was 1,200 Bray fans there??? I actually thought we had more fans there than you did!Quote:

I'd love to think there were 1600 at the Bray v Drogheda game...but there weren't...I'd say closer to 700. About half of these were Drogs supporters...well done! For what it's worth, it might be difficult to gauge the local crowd, as very few people actually own a Wanderers jersey. Most people just turn up in their regular civvies.
How do Bray fans always seem to be so far out on what they think the crowd was? We have 700 at the lower end of the scale and 1,600 at the other end.
Don't think it was as high as 1600. I would have said around 1000 with half the crowd from Drogheda. Biggest Drogheda following I've seen in Bray for a good while. Would agree on the jersey point as Bray fans have not had jerseys to buy in about 4 years that's why its hard to judge the home support as most don't have jerseys to wear. .Quote:

The two week break was decided by some idiots due to the World Cup.Quote:

After the weekend. 2005 and 2004 in brackets. FD and PD indicate average crowd got in a different division to current year.
Waterford forum gives 250-350 and 400-450 for Waterford-Bohs. Everyone else seems to be in agreement at about 250. So it's going in at that until Partizan comes on with his usual rant. Going to go with 700 for Bray - Drogheda as it's the lowest guesstimate and appears at least reasonably thought out. Also agrees with Windmill Warriors breakdown of the crowd. Any others who were there, feel free to correct me.
PREMIER DIVISION
Bohs - 1514 (1976; 2340)

It was 180 odd for the Waterford midweek game which clashed with the world cup aswell so I'm happy enough that we beat that.Quote:

That's right, only away fans are distracted by the World Cup, and all of our usual home support attend all Tuesday games. :rolleyes:Quote:

The only thing that will save attendances is having big crowds at the biggest games so can gauge over a full season.
Whatever about in freefall crowds are certianly not increasing at any meaningful level.
It seems to be a mixed bag in the First Division, but every club in the premier (other than those just promoted) has seen a significant drop in attendances this year compared to last...... And Crowds since the summer started are horrible throughout the league!!!!!!! Summer football is apparently a great idea every second year..... Well at least the european chamionships aren't until 2008!Quote:

Pinneapple me old mate, I missed the Bohs game at the RSC due to work committments here in Dublin so no fear, I wont get under your skin this week, but WLR stated that the attendance was approx 350 which was absolutley shocking.Quote:

theres no way there was only 100 at Dundalk-Kilkenny. A poor crowd alright but 300 odd
1100 at Sligo-Dublin City, per RTÉ. Revised up from 700 early on, which goes to show taht you should never listen to early crowd figures...
heard 500 at gufc v kildare, source drunk though!
Gorgeous George is enjoying his mini-break so............Quote:

bout right, would have said 1200 myself and i'd say my guesstimate is closer. absolutely shocking attendance. i think the club will be changing back to saturday as quick as possible. attandance not helped by dublin city being the club they are. no fans, no talent and no entertainmentQuote:

Anyway, I`m glad its not cause you`re all fickle event junkies or anything like that.....
From Today's Star:*
Sligo Rovers -Vs- Dublin City = 1,100
Bohemians -Vs- Derrry City = 2,000
Drogheda United -Vs- St. Patricks = 3,000
Limerick -Vs- Shamrock Rovers = 1,100**
*For what it's worth :rolleyes:
**"A tense game watched by the biggest crowd in years at Hogan Park"
Yea about 1100 at the game but thats about all he got right. For "tense" read rioting rovers scum! you'll read more on our message board in the next few days no doubt.Quote:
