I presume its an estimate from the star.

I deliberately didn't put that in because the point of this thread initially was that The Star was nonsense and some of their attendances are so wildly inaccurate (both ways) that there's no point putting them in.

I actually went with 2500 as suggested by Pete, but Pat's still seem to sporadically release official attendances, so hopefully we'll get it sooner or later.

For what it is worth I based my estimate on
Stand 1500 (3/4 full although think I am generous as Inchicore side not more than 1/2 full)
City fans 200
Shed 300
Camac 500

TBH I would be surprised if greater than 2500.

I think 3/4 full is a bit high for the stand. I would have thought more than 500 for the Camac though. I was down the shed end of it and while there was loads of room in the first half, it filled up a good bit in the second half when Pats were attacking that end. I would have guessed 700 maybe.

I agree 3/4 a bit much for the stand. Some fans move at halftime so while more in the Shed probably less on a Camac. Either way only talking about 200 in th total anyway.

The weather was fairly crap for both the Athlone and Longford games from what i heard. Was the weather bad at the Kerry League game as well Old Youth?

Approximately 2500 at Dundalk vs. Shelbourne.

I think I know the ground better than you in all fairness. I'd be very surprised if the estimate on dfc.com was more than 150 either side of that.

Rubbish.

There were about 200 of us? Ridiculous to say that there were 2300 Dundalk fans there

Someone texted me from the match saying there were 800 at it!

I dunno what he was drinking that made him see half rather than double but I thought it sounded way too small!

There wasn't 2,500 at it anyway. Wage cap and all that.

For the Limerick v Shels game I was on the opposite side of the ground to the main stand. Shortly before half time I gave a rough count of those in the main stand and got just over 100. I don't really care what the figure was but I know a big laugh went up as it was read out,, followed by loads of people shaking their heads.

On the Dundalk Shels gate I would have thought 1500 to 2000 max!

Judging the crowd in oriel from the away end can be difficult. For a start you cant see into the stand which holds 1,300, Im told it was 3/4 full last night, the shed side usually gets around 800, and im guessing the away support was around 200, so maybe 2,000 is a more accurate figure ?

Anyway great win for shels, shocking result for us.

3,461 for City-Sligo.

Maybe he meant 1,900? I though 900 sounded a bit disappointing.

1276 official attendance at GUFC V. Harps.

There was definitely 1200 at the Wexford/Waterford game tonight. Someone in the main stand was recording the game as well. I was in the new stand with all the Waterford fans, our fans did us proud in the main stand.

What does your new stand hold. I'd estimate 1/3 full at best
10/05/2008, 12:00 AM

1700 it holds! hmm I dunno how empty it was but a youths fan in the main stand estimated 1100 to me :p

Would guess at 1500 for Pat's - UCD tonight.

5, what were you doing over there???

If the new stand holds 1,700, I'd have to estimate 700 over there. Probably 1,200 in total then

Looked like no more than 900 at Galway Harps game, but official figure 1276. About 70 harps fans.

That is a terrible crowd for a game between two teams that don't have any great love for each other alright. Can't wait til Tallaght gets going.

You said 350-400 for Sligo v UTD the last day when there was about 800 there.
You really haven't got a good eye for crowds.
10/05/2008, 1:28 PM

Good crowd last night, i would say about 1800 at it with about 500 or even more drogheda fans. 5wins on the trott and unbeaten in 7, its looking good.

defo a peno as well, worst decision ever.

Cant' remember the exact figure but there was something like 460 at Limerick-Monaghan last night. It was annonuced at half-time.

Yeah, as I said 2000 max.
I was in the stand for the game. 3/4 full ? maybe but there didn't look to be 800 on the far side.

Anyway, who cares ,,, we won 3-1 :)
An 8 point lead for you would have been too much to claw back I felt,, lets see now how you react to that defeat!
