Didn't you know the capacity of Turners Cross is a state secret? :D

I'd say the max it could safely hold is 8,000. Don't know how many tickets were printed.

We've moved on from the hand written tickets so then!?
You gotta love professionalism. :D

has any1 here who is a regular, and has missed out on a ticket?

If you were really stuck i'd say you should find a Bohs fan with a ticket and he'd let you have it for €15.

It would be no big deal to him to miss the match and he could watch it on TV anyway and get even more scuttered for the trip home.

Six people came around the club shop in the space of 10 minutes today around 3.00pm, all looking for two or more tickets. Not since CCFC -v- Derry City 2 years ago has a game sold out before the evening of the game in any domestic soccer game in Ireland, apparently.

Official capacity is 7000 so won't be any ticket with no. 7001 on it ;)

Definitely closer to 10k.The shed hasn't been that packed for donkeys years,probably back when there was no seats in the ground and everyone went into the terrace.

It was about 8000 (8500 max), the ground can't hold anymore than that since the St.Anne's and derrynane sides were seated. Official capacity including the Shed is 7500, while there were a few squeezed in here and there, I doubt there was more than 5-600 more scattered around the seats.

there were people goin in one gate with passes and the rest were tickets only.how many passes were printed?i haven't seen the place as packed in ages.especially the shed-was swaying like mad.my guess would be 8.5k

I know for a fact that it was a lot more than that, that's not speculation as I've got it from a few very reliable sources that there was over 10k there.

I don't doubt it either as when I went up to the St. Annes end for the 2nd half, I could barely find a spot to stand. There was people everywhere, it wouldn't surprise me if there were over 1000 people standing at the St. Annes end alone.

i also got told there was more than 10k

Not to make a big thing of it lads, but split your difference 750.
750 + 7500 = 8250 in seats, shed and standing around the Anne's end

where exactly are we meant to have fit in the extra two thousand :confused:

If it was 10K, I'm delighted, a great pay day for the club. And as i always say, hopefully a few got bitten by the city bug and we can increase our core attendance. I just have my doubts ;)

I never said there were 10,000 there, but would have put the attendance at over 9,000, based on the fact that a few years ago, for an underage game, there was an official attendance of 9,000, and it looked more packed than that to me on Friday.

I agree with Patsh I have been to sell-out games at the cross loads of times before and never saw the likes of it-I'd say bout 9500 dont know about the 10,000(its a possibility)
Sure the shed was packed with little or no room to move(a potential health risk in my view-as evident by the young fella fainting)

Its all good for the club though-10eur x 10000=100000eur for the club-enough for hunt!!!!

the funniest bit for me was the young fella being helped over to our side, totally locked, could barely walk and we just leant him out over the side when he spewed, the joys of underage drinking.

The sad thing is it took the gardai over 4 mins to realise we were chanting at them to come up :rolleyes:
