1. Dublin V Cork (Hurling qualifiers - Saturday afternoon in Dublin).

3. Intertoto not very important.

4. City 2-0 up from first leg and likely to go through anyway.

5. Worst summer (weatherwise) ever.

Take your pick from above.

I got my figure off one of the officials Seanie as i have to annoy them to the hilt to get it mate. I did not find out the breakdown as to how many paid in etc but it even looked a decent crowd on the box tonight as well but hopefully the new turnstiles will in place in a couple of weeks.

Ya hopefully they will be there for the Galway game

Unusually either the Echo or the Examiner report on this game gave the crowd as being 310. This must have come from an official source.

310 is shocking for a team with promotion hopes.

Ah in fairness, let's be realistic, I'd say Mons are well out of the promotion chase now.

Pretty poor alright but maybe people went to the Derry League Cup game on Tuesday instead.

What was the attendance for the Bohs-Cork LC game on Tuesday? Deadly atmosphere towards the end made it seem like the first few blocks of the Jodi was almost full but from the journos, beside whom I was, over to the Cork fans it only seemed half-full.

Can't find it on the Bohs website or anywhere. (If it is somewhere obvious, feel free to abuse and delete.)

Cork surely brought 4,000 alone.

A group of us popped over last weekend to see some matches. The attendances given on the site so far....

Shamrock Rovers v. Bohemians (4,206)

I estimated approx 4,500 so I can well believe the official figure.

Sligo Rovers v. Longford Town (1,271)

I asked the officials after the game and I was given an official figure of 1,271. As we all thought there was approx 1,300 - 1,400 there this figure does appear to be quite realistic!

Bray Wanderers v. Waterford United (???)

Everytime, I decided to go out and count the crowd, it chucked it down with rain! I know there were about 160 hardy souls scattered around the ground plus the covered seating area was just over half full. There are supposed to be 1,300 covered seats, so we are probably talking 850 in total?

Has anyone got an official figure for the Bray Wanderers game?

That's interesting. Figures here were in the region of 1600-1800.

As per Dundalk`s forum, 1,100 appears to be the agreed figure for Dundalk v Kildare last night.

Disappointing no doubt but there were a number of factors;
1.Saturday afternoon k.o's have been bad for us crowd wise.
2.Cork hurlers playing at the same time.
3. Local junior club ran a blitz at the same time with upwards of 150 or more at that.
4. City playing at home later that evening put paid to the casual support from the city.
5.Cork City sports on that evening.

I guess it was a combination of all 5 that led to the crowd being so small.

what was the crowd for cobh v derry in lge cup - showed a clip of it on rte news with john robertson first game for derry - looked to be a decent crowd for that game

i`m sure cobh fans will come out in greater numbers for the second half of the season

Ya and the actual figure was 345, not that it makes much difference, the Derry game was around 7-800, good sized crowd.

Longford Town Vs. Shamrock Rovers

I'll let someone else actually count the Longford crowd :eek:

Official attendance was 754 as possted on ShelsWeb. Seems high to me but sure they'd never lie would they?? :D Probably be about 5 times that here tonight for the Leeds game :rolleyes:

About 950 at Waterford United v St Pats last night.
07/07/2007, 6:23 PM

I would have said 1200 at the Waterford game.. 950 seems far to low!
07/07/2007, 7:27 PM

I'd have thought less than 950 tbh
08/07/2007, 1:17 PM
stann

You'd have thought wrong. ;) :D
And Trevy again was way too low. There was a bit in excess of 1150 there, the hundred and fifty souls on the hill and strung along the perimeter not making up for the 250-odd spaces in the main stand.
1270-250+150=1170. Maths, innit?
Decent Pat's attendance too, been a while since block A looked reasonably well populated. Must have been all those hooped infiltrators! :D

what are ya on about it was well in excees of 1000 by somewhere between 300-500 i actually never heard a figure for it

Battery Rover

About 400 at Athlone Town vs Cobh Ramblers Saturday night with about 10 from Cobh who all enjoyed the luxury of the new stand.

Lot on last night that took away from the attendance including Westmeath vs Longford (Would attract a crowd even if it was the sewing championships) and Roscommon vs Kildare both being played within a 30 min drive of Athlone.

Ya I thought that also for the Dundalk game when I was given a figure of 463!! honest!, this is has been one of my arse pains since March, for the Limerick game I will have chalk marks crosses out for every 100, hope its not raining!!:o

What was the attendance for Corks intertoto game?

Sligo Rovers -V- Derry City

Sligo Rovers -V- Derry

Both stands were full and about 100-200 people standing around the pitch. My guess is 3,000. With the new manager and all it would have brought out a crowd.
Any Derry fan who knows the ground well correct me if i am wrong.

There was a fair crowd the old shed side as well, hard to judge maybe 800 to 1000. Plus the main stand was full not sure what that holds. At a guess go for 3500 total.

Was at the Cork Offaly hurling game the weekend, and they announced the official attendance as 15,000 i think, but the men behind me were all laughin callin them corrupt ****s over the tax i think, found it hilarious first GAA match i was at in years and EL always seem to be overhyping attendance i know Rams always do it, not officials but supporters. Think of if bout 20000 at the game at 20 euro a man, alot of money!!

Sure at the Limerick V Tipp replay in the Gaelic grounds it was full as it could have been!! We were getting squashed in the terraces and they said there was 31000 (or something around that) there when it holds 49000 + and it was packed out!! How many was at the Cork intertoto match?
