Seemed to be 4000 at most.
Dont remember it ever being as full as it was tonight, it was packed. The showgies was Buzzin.Quote:

5,000 is what I heard most people say, I tend to agree.Quote:

I would guess 750-800 at GUFC v Limerick
.. I was given was 550, which sounds surprisingly low. Would have agreed with your estimate Terry. The fact that it was raining would have brought everyone into the stand, perhaps this explains our overestimates of the attendance.
I'd have a stab at 3,800 at Derry-Pats.
Could be more.
Any updates on this? With our last 4 games been away has probably boosted Bohs, Waterford & Shels averages.Quote:

What attendance did you put in for the Rovers/Athlone game?:confused:
Put in 4000 to be conservative. I think a couple of people made the point during the season that the website attendances were a bit on the high side, so this'll balance that out as well hopefully. Saw it there on eL Weekly though - looked very much like the Harps-Dundalk game this time last season. And now look at them!
EL Weekly said over 5,000 people so it cant be just the website that's over estimating though;)Quote:

Maybe, just this once, it happened to be exactly 5,000 though?:confused: :DQuote:

That seems realistic. The Sunday Times gave it as 7700!!!Quote:

I'd say that's about right.Quote:

fair play to sligo, im sure someone may have mentioned it before but, with few games left to influence the figures, they have the fourth highest attendance in the league...
"few games left to influence the figures, they have the fourth highest attendance in the league..."
I couldn't have put it better myself !
A small bit more more influencing and they might get up to first.
1300 at Waterford-Drogheda.
650-ish at UCD-Rovers - woeful crowd with Rovers fans seemingly taking a night off ahead of the play-off...

So, Pineapple Stu, playoffs.
What are the crowds like?
No more than 300-350 at Harps v Bray... 30-35 from Bray!
I would say there was about 500 at the Harps game.
Poor game, nothing really at stake except pride. Drogheda looked very poor.Quote:

Irish Examiner said 7500 official at Cork-Derry. I presume it wasn't that exact amount, but rather it was an official sell-out which is about 7,500. Either way, in it goes.
About 350 at the Athlone vs Dublin City game tonight. The whole DC home support travelled.
Anyone know where I can get odds on Athlone being promoted next year as champions.
Before Cork fans are told they are exagerating there is no chance there were 7,500 people in Turners X. 10,000 would be more accurate!
500 of us, yer having a laugh :p Thanks to credit card booking and some possibly illegal activities the red 'n white army expanded to well over the allocation.
There has been a tendancy by our UCD friend to underestimate crowds over the course of the season. I think its from the inferiority complex that goes with being a UCD fan. :D
There was no way 7500 at the X. I watched the highlights and the place was absolutley jammers. In all fairness to the C/\wkies on a great performance both on and off the pitch and to the Derry fans as well who were gracious in defeat, it was a fantastic game and the best team won on the night.
My estimate, at least 9000 at the X. There wasnt a standing space to be had even. Contrast that with UCD's total hardcore fan base of 90. :p
I feel you should place our attendance to 5000, the sligo champion, the sligo weekender every paper, every person who was at the game everone who commented on the game says it was 5000, apart from you. This has gotta stop it was 5000, clear cut, biggest crowd since we played Brugge in 1994.
The Cross was very close to 10,000, even if officially it was 7,500. I actually only got to see half the game. Not half in terms of time (I was there for the whole thing), but I could only see the half near the St. Anne's end because so many people were standing in front of me (in the Derrynane away section). As a consequence, I still have no idea what the second goal looked like!
Nope, it's due to the fact that I can see that people like your good self quite clearly can't estimate a crowd without adding another couple of hundred on to make your club look bigger than it is. Also, any club who starts releasing official attendances sees their crowds drop about 10%. Why? Because people here overestimate. So I compensate.Quote:
