The one I often forget to check is the hill beside Block E. There actually are a good few who stand there.Quote:

I don't agree with you bluemovie.Was there in season ticket section over the tunnel and there was loads of empty seats all over the place, not many people down low in block B and hardly any away fans in block A.I'd still stick with 900.Just my opinion.
How come if clubs in Scottish 3rd division can release definite attendance figures for the Sunday papers but most Eircom League clubs keep it quiet from the press?

I'd have said less, probably somewhere in the region of 350... stand was fairly empty and only 25/30 Rovers fans on the far side.
2300- 2400 my guess for sligo cork...
Sligo Rovers V Cork City 2,500 Approx
2,500, I'd go with that too.Quote:

I'm curious to know, Stu, as to be honest I've not paid attention to these threads before, but how did you get the 857 figure for the Waterford-Bray game? Just wondering where it comes from given you've had just two quotes here from people present of 900 and 1100 - was it from a newspaper or tinternet match report?
The actual figure, I would reckon myself, was about 950-1000 in the stand with maybe another 50 or so scattered around the ground, on the hill or whatever, so 1000 to 1050 overall.
Block E and D were virtually full, block C almost so, block B about 2/3 to 3/4 full and block A (mostly away fans) 3/4 empty, but it is a smaller block. I'd say in total about 300 or so vacant seats in the stand. The capacity of the stand if memory serves is 1270.
Bluemovie you probably couldn't see much of block A from where you were but it was quite sparse it has to be said. Your block B contact is somewhat misguided. It wasn't me was it? ;) Trevy your estimations of which blocks held what were quite good but your overall figure doesn't add up, with your overall figure you must think there were 400 odd empty seats, but that just isn't so.
I would have said 300 at the very most and even that would be pushing it.Quote:

FAO stann,
the 857 figure is yer average over the season and not the last match ye played, read the top of his post again
:o
Well as I said, I wasn't paying attention all along, so that's a running average then, with last year and the year before's average in brackets. I see...
I won't compound it by telling you what I though those figures were! :D
Cheers Terry.
Cancel that first question so, Stu. But am still curious as to what figure you eventually decide on, have you reliable posters, go for averages, or what?
what are ways to get more people to the matches? the tickets can't be that much can they?
Yeah you're probably right, it's just a couple of other lads I know said it was around 450 so I just stuck up the consencus. Terrible crowd whatever way (applies in both sences to most of the people at the Town End).Quote:

1930 at Pats v Shels
Stu, just noticed that you have Cork attendances "missing Pats" from the first round - we played them in Richmond in the first round.
Just shows the difference being crap makes - when we played them in our second home game of the season, the attendance was 2145 = a drop of 10%, worse if you assume that Shels, being League leaders, would've brought more last night than they did the first time. Big assumption, I know... :DQuote:

Drogs v Cork would have been around 1,800.
Bohs v Drogs wouldn't have been much over 1,000 I would have said.
Maybe we brought 20% more, and your lot turned up 30% (or something) less? :eek:Quote:

I'm off to the pub.
Where have all your fans gone? 1400 not including season ticket holders and all the under 12s let in for free down to this? Seems the higher up ye go the less your crowds are getting smaller. more realstic figure too i may add :)Quote:

I'm couting "first round" as home and away, if you know what I mean. So "first ruond" here means the first game against Cork in Cork. (I know there was only one, but it's just me being consistent to put it that way...)Quote:

Nice smart arsed answer from you again gael.At least we give the accurate figure all the time so when we get around 2000 plus against Rovers or `1000 at home to Monaghan it will be the true figure.Also all our home attendances are still higher than yere's.:)Quote:
