attendance was 900 official , that is prob only paying guests you also had sponsors, freebies and press etc about 1000 there in total
Is the safe official capacity really 3800?
members have paid so should be included, weve done all we need to attract people by being promoted, no need for frebies anymore,
id say the city game will be a sell out, derry had a good sell out crowd for there first derby in a while, just add a few more years, harps apparently bought 2000 to the brandywell thats some amount,
official capacity of coleman park is 6000, id take 1000 off, the clubhouse end you could fit 1500 in there but only 500 would see the game,
Sporting Fingal got a crowd of 1,234 today:eek::eek:
There is no way there was only 900 at the match the new stand alone had 900 in it.
Easiest way to calculate the capacity is to count the seats first. Terraces a bit more difficult. One stand looks like the Derrynane at the cross which has capacity of 850.
whos closest to the ground and can they drop in there with a torch and count the seats, and no you dont include the stools in the bar:D
capacities new stand 950, old stand 500, north terrace 2500-3000, clubhouse end say 600 that can see,
so, last night new stand 3/4 full, old stand about 60-80 culchies, north terrace 800 odd, clubhouse end 2-300
it will,be all over inside cobh next week "deranged fan spotted walking around ground at 3am counting seats and talking to himself"
Builders said a while back that they had fitted 1350 seats for the two stands, and I reckon the rest is good for about 3000 or so. Can't see the ground taking more than about 4500-5000, any more and there will be some seriously p*ssed off people at the clubhouse end without a decent view of the game.
fair dues that was quick, you are like rainman
i dont talk to myself unless i know im alone;):D:p
thats good to know thanks:D
I'm not familiar with rainman so I suppose i'll go with the human calculator.
tax, i presume. i think sports clubs are required to pay less than normal buisness/ commerce but its still tax.
there has been up to 8000 in the ground, the play-off against harps when we stayed up, also a few cup games in the early 90,s. the 83 cup games were played in the lodge, so them attendances dont count.
the ground has lost capacity due to seating but the final phase of development will see a huge stand being built at the clubhouse end holdin up to 2000 ppl.
