Id have had it at closer to 2,000 total. Less than 250 Waterford fans as the away block of seats only holds 250 and there were plenty of empty seats in it. A good crowd none the less though and a good atmosphere from them as you say

I see Bohs are capping away attendances at 450 next season,building a new covered terrace,will only affect Rovers,Shels and Pats fans and maybe Dundalk aswell….
Seen pictures in todays Irish sun that fencing collapsed at Cobh Ramblers Cork City game . Must have being scary for Cork City fans involved. Any Cork City fans here caught up in it?
Poor crowd ok (1,576) but not unexpected, plus with a very wet night, this is exactly what the club gets for only having 2k seats under cover, there are plenty who like to stand town end of the stand, open to the elements as much as the away section, not attractive on a rainy night.
It was lowest since the previous week (22/07) v Finn Harps (2,016), highest so far was 3,600 v Derry on the opening night, might get something close to that this Friday. Still a lot away on holidays, problem for a lot of clubs Late July / most August.
So here is the estimated attendance figures for Round 1 of the 2022 FAI Cup played over the weekend,
Cobh 2710,
St. Pats 2000 est.
Bangor (at Tallaght) 1700+
Derry & Dundalk 1500+ est.
Sligo 1200+ est.
Finn Harps 900+
Bray & Drogheda 500+ est.
Treaty 350
UCD 200
Maynooth, Lucan, Salthill, Bonagee and Bluebell estimates between 100 up to 300 attendances.
Anyone who was at any of the above may be able to advise on these figures.
Seems reasonable for UCD
Would have thought 2k in the showgrounds
Strange decision - as presumably the space is there to add more seats, and it wouldn't cost a huge amount more either ? They don't have to go crazy, but even just 50-100 more would surely work out financially by selling those extra seats out 6-10 or more times a season ? I wonder how they alighted on 450 as being the magic number here ?
I was down a bit from it, didn't know what happened until a minute or so later when we realised something had happened. Was very concerned the game was going to be abandoned during the delay.
Overall really poor event handling from Ramblers from start to finish, somehow worse than the league game with about double the crowd.
A bit embarassing for Cobh in their centenary year. But it's a small club run by a tiny team of volunteers, so many things there are doubltess run on a wing and a prayer.
Where was it that had a low wall collapse about 10-15 yrs in a similar event - Monaghan United ?
Bray (at home v Monaghan)
I stopped counting at 300 at the Bluebell game without doing the whole ground. The numbers weren't great in the rest so I'd say 350-400.
6,455 in Tallaght last night.
Was there really only 2860 at Dundalk/Derry? Looked a healthy crowd on the small bit of highlights I seen….
After having a few square weeks were they actually reported proper home attendances it seems like the club are back to shaving numbers off the real attendance. Why would they do that i hear you ask? Your guess is as good as mine. Deffo about 3100 and a wee bit more there tonight.
Smallest crowd of the season at Finn Park last night. It was something like 650. Smallest away crowd, bar UCD, as well, with only about 30 Drogs traveling.
Bit of an update. An awful lot of estimates this year. Bohs, Drogheda, Shels and UCD figures proving difficult to find, a handful of Pats estimates, a smattering of one or two among the rest, and Derry being Derry.
In the first division, there's more estimates than official figures across the board. Cork, Waterford and Wexford are pretty much up to date, but missing three of the last four from Galway, half a season from Longford, and Cobhs official attendances seemed to have tailed off with the crowds dipping. Nothing from Bray or Athlone this year, and only four figures from Treaty.
So, with all that in mind, who knows how accurate we are this year, but the inevitable summer drop in attendances is notable across the board for almost everyone..

What are you missing for UCD?
I should have asked - do you have estimates at least, or just nothing?
Don't have official figures, but could put up estimates if you don't have any.
2669 for Cork City v Athlone if you don't already have it.
Yeah, I have rough estimates for each of them, from either here, or social media sources, or from Extratime, who seem to be less than reliable at UCD estimates.
Apr 15 - Drogheda - 650
Apr 18 - Pats - 1,200
May 6 - Dundalk - 600
May 27 - Sligo - 500
June 24 - Derry - 500
July 22 - Shels - 1,300
May 14th vs St Pats
Missing:
- Shels last 6 home attendances
- Pats (Apr 14 v Harps, Apr 29 v Derry, May 20 v Shels, June 17 v UCD, July 15 v Dundalk)
- Dundalk first home game of the season v Derry
- All of Drogheda bar the first five home games
- All of Bohs bar the first four home games
- All of Athlone bar first three home games
- All but two of Bray games
- Last four Cobh
- All of Longford beyond 5th home game
- All of Treaty after 3 games
- Wexford (Apr 15 v Cobh, July 1 v Athlone)
Haven’t seen anything official on these ones but have estimates below in case you haven’t got one for them
Pats Harps 22 April - 2,800 (Est)
Pats Derry 29 April - 3,500 (Est)
Pats shels 20 May - 3,800 (Est)
Pats UCD 17 June - 2,700 (Est)
Pats Dundalk 15 July - 4,000 (Est)
I didnt catch the attendance announced so asked the person beside me and he said 3860 and I didnt question it as it seemed a reasonable number. It was only today that I saw it was 2860 and it was a surprise! I was on the Shed side across from the Derry fans 1st half and there was a good away support, stand was full, and 5 minute terrace was very busy, a good number standing behind the town goal (usually a good indicator of a higher crowd). 2nd half was at the 5 minute terrace and the shed side was very busy also. So the figures do seem out this time,
Probably our smallest crowd of season tonight, wouldn't like to guess it but looked very grim. Summer holidays always hit at this time of year plus EPL back but overall, crowds very disappointing this season
