Only 600?, that's very poor. We really should be getting into 4 figures.
That's disappointing.Quote:

Surley for cup games attendance would be bang on otherwise Harps would loose money on their share of gate if attendance was under estimatedQuote:

Derry will bring around 10,000 again.The FAI cup final versus Shamrock rovers in 2003 did we bring less and that was because it was in Tolka. That time we brought 6,000 as we got the extra tickets that rovers couldn't sell.
The Shels final in '07 when Shels fans didn't turn up we brought 7,000+ and same as the Bohs game in the RDS
edit: Hopefully we might bring more as our last 3 finals have been humdingers and some locals were sorry they didn't go.
Tickets are good value in general but for Derry they are more so £8 is a easy sell for a cup final or £16-17 for Premium level, id expect 6k or so for Pats & 3/4 k in neutrals should be a decent attendance.
Think it was just over 16,000 in 2012 I'd expect similar this time around. Weather obviously affects the amount of neutrals at it.Quote:

Attendance was 10,100 at that final.Quote:

Somewhere in that region alright if I remember correctly. 6 or 7,000 from Longford I think.Quote:

I had a figure of around 13,000 in my head, wiki says 12,000 so somewhere around that size.
Purely speculative I know but how many fans could each of the 5 Dublin clubs bring to a final that they were appearing in, say against a (non major rival) club like Derry?
Saints 5-6 k
Bohs 5-6k
$hels 1k
UCD 10 people
Rovers 100,000 tickets sold on lottery.
Shels would bring around the same as Pats, they had 4,000 plus at the 2011 final.
Don't know about 4k they had a decent turnout in the small end of the aviva, the majority was Sligo and neutrals.
Do Shels still have a hold fan-wise around the Ringsend area?
Anyone got attendances/guesses for the recent following games:
19/09: Bray Wanderers 2-4 St. Patrick's Athletic
21/09: Limerick 0-1 Cork City
26/09: Derry City 1-1 Athlone Town
30/09: Bray Wanderers 1-1 Derry City
30/09: St. Patrick's Athletic 3-1 Bohemians
03/10: Limerick 4-2 Athlone Town
1200 approximately.Quote:

I had to go through Ringsend on the bus to get to our Cup replay vs Shels last month and a good few Shels fan got on at Ringsend.Quote:
