So how many do you think Kilkenny would have brought if the game was on another night?Quote:

I guess a lot of the people there for Sunderland tickets did not stay for the game- I was speaking to a steward afterward who said a lot got their vouchers, then left the ground again until the queue for the Sunderland tickets had died down. Sad really.
ya it is, although no disrespect meant to UCD its not a game that will bring out the crowds that coupled with the terrible weather probably accounted for the poor turn out.Quote:

Belive what you like...
We will, as will the 398+ others that traveled to Dublin for the matchQuote:

Like my report cards all those years ago:)
Sounds about right, would have said 550 myself but who am I to take rr's gloryQuote:

Athlone Town vs Limerick 37
Thought it was a poor attendance last night but when I spoke to the club treasurer he told me he hadn't counted the takings but it was around 650 incl season tickets, sponsor freebies etc.
Thought around 400 myself but I don't see the figures from the gate counters.
:D :D :D we dont hear that a lot!!!!Quote:

I'd guess 600-700ish at Longford Town versus Derry City. About 150 from Derry.
Pathetic crowd, pathetic game, nice weather.....
Oriel's point is correct - there's no point in first division teams choosing their match night to maximise the away fans, as with a couple of exceptions there'll be less than 100 away fans anyway. Given the distances between teams their only aim should be to choose the night to maximise home support.
Jaysus, thought that was the attendance for a second! :eek:Quote:

Galway couldn't even put our CPO's name down on the officials list despite having been rung about two hours before!
The good start was because all the derbies were scheduled for the first day; things were obviously going to be down after that.
Internet at home is broken until Friday, so it'll have to wait until after next weekend's games for an update. But the crowds are still up 30% or so.
Are you comparing the average of last season to this seasons average. Or are you comparing the same time of years average?Quote:

The average will start off high, then fall and then rise a bit towards the end of the year. You're right in that it's not a perfect comparison, but I'm too laxy to work it out otherwise. :)
There was a queue of 500 people constantly for over an hour looking for Sunderland Tickets so your cpo was lucky to get in. I wouldnt have even tried to guess the crowd on friday as most people moved to the very back of the stand to get away from the Gale Force Wind and lashing rain. Yes it was 1788 say the official count afterwards which was a fantastic crowd considering it was the worst weather ive ever seen in Terryland for over 30 years of attending games there. Over 650 people got their Sunderland Tickets which has sold out completely and will easily be the biggest money earner in the clubs history.Quote:

Seeing that both Dublin and Belfast are both 80km away from Dundalk.
Yes but the motorway goes to Dublin.Quote:

Would've thought a good deal more than that. We'll see soon enoughQuote:

It was definitely a lot less than the Setanta semi and that was 2735. Take about 250 out for the Inchicore end not being in use, take at least another 250 out for the Drogheda support on the Camac side (their part was packed at the semi, was fairly sparsely populated last night). The rest looked around the same.Quote:

It's ridiculous to suggest someone should be "lucky" to get into a game.
Anyways, we'll just ensure there's no free admission for Galway officials in Belfield in July. ;)
no problem Stu but why didnt you email the GUFC Office rather than posting here. Strange you didnt mention the development in Terryland in any of your posts. You are a great wum .
Why would I mention the development of Terryland or e-mail the club? I was just pointing it out is all. Not much the club can do about it now.
Oh, and the new stand is lovely. What'll it hold - 100? ;)
Its actually standard practice for the Club to email the list of officials a few days before the game. Generally speaking I know that we wouldnt let someone in unless they have done that.
That said Colm has Daniel's phone number and should have rang Daniel when he got there and am sure he would have taken him in.
Wasn't far off, official figure is 2,087 according to the Pats website. Kerr has been giving out about moving the game to Monday and that the crowd was probably down by about 1,000 on what it might have been on Friday.Quote:
