That's right, and I always put in the lowest Cork figure... Will put the 5000 in for Bohs for now, but will expect it to come down by at least 20%.

Woeful crowd in Waterford for the UCD game - 350 tops. Counted 150 around the ground, and the stand (holds 700 or so?) was probably less than one-third full. Tall ships and all that, but we had a bigger crowd in Belfield! :)

I'd say City v Bohs was closer to 4,000 to be honest lads

I agree, was surprised with radio figure.
1600+700+1200+500=4000

No the stand holds 1250 so there was more that that there.I thought about 700 but definitely at least 600 to watch a terrible 0-0 draw.Very poor crowd all the same.Were you one of the 5 UCD fans with the drum in block A?

Is Block A smaller than the rest? There are 160 seats in Block A (16 rows of 10), and five blocks overall. Two of the blocks have the tunnel eating significantly into them. My assumption then was 5 x 160 = 800, less 100 or so for the player tunnel = 700. There were ten people in Block A, and about 50 in Block B; granted, it did get fuller as you moved towards Block E

Yep (though there weer another 20 or so fans around the ground)! Wish I wasn't though... What a shocking match! :(

Block A is much smaller than the rest as its a lot narrower.Theres probably twice as many seats in the other blocks apart from the middle one.It was an awful game all right.

Would have guessed at the stand being maybe 1/4 to 1/3 full with 150 around the ground.

350 is mentioned on the Waterford forum as well (stand 1/4 full), though only with 50 people around the ground. Will up it to 400, but it certainly wasn't much more than that.

Maybe some day we won't have the worst average in the Premier Division. :D

3,000-3,500 at Derry v Harps. Kick off delayed due to long queues to get in.

Waterford will have to be in the Premier though! ;)

Nice to see us getting higher crowds for the home game than the away game for a change (hopefully Longford as well), though obviously I'd rather it was just for our crowds going up rather than ours going up and the other team's dropping...

I think dropping crowds of one team are compensated by others though. Sustained success at the top will give us rather large crowds from Derry and Cork and maybe even Bohs if they can continue their pre-Cork streak.

Definitely - there's always some teams doing well and some not so well...currently just above water with regards this year's and last year's averages.

Though that may change if you get any back attendances from Cork...?

850 at UCD v. Pat's. Strange (and annoying!) that our crowds for Dublin derbies are going down while our crowds for the other games are going up...!

700 mentioned for Waterford v. Bray on their forum.

Stu, no offence, but UCD v Pats isn't a Dublin derby. UCD v Pats is having to go to bloody Belfield.
