Will move Waterford-Harps up to 2750 (half way between 2500 and 3000) and put Rovers-Shels in as 3000 for the moment.
Rovers fans reckon 3500, though they also think they completely filled the Connaught Stand against Bohs! Will leave it in as 3000.Quote:

Huge crowd (for Division 1) at Limerick v Monaghan United.
According to their chairman there were 1800 paid in, but that probably doesn't include kids who got in for €2 with an adult (they just put a biro mark onthe ticket), so I'd say 2000-2100.
Bet the club wishes it was Good Friday every week! ;)
3873 official according to the bloke who counts the tickets on Gypsies Web.Quote:

There are 6000 seats a the cross, St anne there was at least 2000 out of a possible 2600, and put in the full shed and all above the st annes .... easily 6500, more like 7000 ..... stay with 6500, that way it is dead cert.
The Star reported 1800 in attendance at our first game back at Hogan Park, it wouldn't be far wrong as there were still queues outside the ground when the game was 10 mins old.........

woaf! attendences hav shot up!!! cooool...
Rovers Vs Shels - 3.500
Spoke to various Shelbournes heads who were there, some in the Jodi, others in the Connaught St side - consensus 3,500, with approx 50-50 split betwen both sides.
Most are mentioning 3500 for Rovers-Shels, so will put it in as that...
One game only, don't forget! Still, everyone bar Dublin City (understandable as they've just been relegated) is up; twelve teams are up by over 50% and six teams (including the three promoted teams) are up over 100%. Don't see that lasting, but there's a bit of scope for a big fall and yet being up on last year.Quote:

in the case of the drogs vs derry the match last year was on a tuesday night which is a big part of the difference
Think it clashed with the CL on the telly, more to the point. But yeah, it was an unusually low attendance alright. Still, should help you get your average up this season!Quote:

I agreed with the Sligo fan's guess of 300 rather than the Dublin City guess of 150.
On Friday Galway United's official attendance was 1264 which you have - the 'real' attendance was probably about 1600.
Fair dues to Limerick though - amazing crowd for the visit of Monaghan!
Hopefully it wasn't just the Good Friday effect which resulted in the bigger crowds!
J
About 4,400 at the Cross for City-Shels. All the dry areas were full: Shed - 2,000, Derrynane - 1,185, top half of Donnie Ford - 950, plus about 250 in the uncovered part of DF, and about 25 ppl in St.Anne's end. My figures work out at 4410, but since its only an estimate, we'll say 4,400!
Why was the attendance so low ar Turners cross tonight compared to Friday. I would have thought Shels would have attracted a lot more than Bray.
/edit - Forgot Friday was good Friday. Cork alco's. ;)
I think this is only for league games so you don't have to round down. That's a low crowd by big game Cork standards no? :confused:Quote:

The rain and the fact that it was on telly didn't help at all.
Maybe the result on Friday kept a few away aswell, the old sunshiners, can never rely on them.
The figure you have for this game is way too high.No more than 2000 there and that seems to be the general consenus on btid.I'd have said about 1800 myself.
Judging by TV pictures, there would have to be some crowd on Connaught street for there to have been 3500 at the Rovers-Shels game.Quote:

IT can't have made up 3019 & 6224 figures so they seem good.
Really bad, sh*tty weather.Quote:

Always happens, the sooner the St Annes end is covered the better. Would easily have been 7000 but for the weather
After "performance" on friday don't think were ever going to get 7000. I'd say more likely 3500 there as shed wasn't so packed & would need to be jammers (as they say) be to 2000 in the shed.Quote:

I wouldnt put the rovers shels game at anything more then 3,000 tops in my opinion.
Thought the most of the fans were in the Jodi stand, probably around 1600 or 1700. (some of these were shels fans) and about 1200 or 1300 in the connaught.
3000 if even

id say the official figure didnt take in the season Ticket Holders 450 plus Students and Juniors.Easily our biggest crowd since Drogheda playoff game.Great travelling support from Athlone as well.
There was still over 250 people outside the ground 15 minutes into the game which was just like the good old days.Hopefully a good result against Kilkenny will mean an even bigger gate against Sligo,
I can't see why the league does not issue official attendances considering that clubs must submit them to the league after each game. The figues in the Star are only estimates from the journalists and are seldom correct.

Kildare Co. v Cobh
Probably between 180-200. Very poor.
I will start an attendence thread on our forum and keep you posted for home games.
Longford - Cork 1500.
I would have said 1200 but Longfordian was talking to the lads at the gate and they said between 1500 and 1600 :)
1,500 for Bray-UCD.
The 1,800 for Limerick v. Monaghan seems to be overstating on the Star's part - revised down to 1,200 per the Limerick forum.
Good spot! The fencing would only cover three of the four sides of the running track, so maybe 400 yards (obvioulsy longer than the running track itself 'cos it's a bit farther out), so 3/4 of a foot for each person is a bit of a tight squeeze! Didn't look it on eL weekly either. Have gone with the apparently official 1900 so.Quote:
