Id have had it at closer to 2,000 total. Less than 250 Waterford fans as the away block of seats only holds 250 and there were plenty of empty seats in it. A good crowd none the less though and a good atmosphere from them as you say

I see Bohs are capping away attendances at 450 next season,building a new covered terrace,will only affect Rovers,Shels and Pats fans and maybe Dundalk aswell….
Seen pictures in todays Irish sun that fencing collapsed at Cobh Ramblers Cork City game . Must have being scary for Cork City fans involved. Any Cork City fans here caught up in it?
Poor crowd ok (1,576) but not unexpected, plus with a very wet night, this is exactly what the club gets for only having 2k seats under cover, there are plenty who like to stand town end of the stand, open to the elements as much as the away section, not attractive on a rainy night.
It was lowest since the previous week (22/07) v Finn Harps (2,016), highest so far was 3,600 v Derry on the opening night, might get something close to that this Friday. Still a lot away on holidays, problem for a lot of clubs Late July / most August.
So here is the estimated attendance figures for Round 1 of the 2022 FAI Cup played over the weekend,
Cobh 2710,
St. Pats 2000 est.
Bangor (at Tallaght) 1700+
Derry & Dundalk 1500+ est.
Sligo 1200+ est.
Finn Harps 900+
Bray & Drogheda 500+ est.
Treaty 350
UCD 200
Maynooth, Lucan, Salthill, Bonagee and Bluebell estimates between 100 up to 300 attendances.
Anyone who was at any of the above may be able to advise on these figures.
Seems reasonable for UCD
Would have thought 2k in the showgrounds
Strange decision - as presumably the space is there to add more seats, and it wouldn't cost a huge amount more either ? They don't have to go crazy, but even just 50-100 more would surely work out financially by selling those extra seats out 6-10 or more times a season ? I wonder how they alighted on 450 as being the magic number here ?
I was down a bit from it, didn't know what happened until a minute or so later when we realised something had happened. Was very concerned the game was going to be abandoned during the delay.
Overall really poor event handling from Ramblers from start to finish, somehow worse than the league game with about double the crowd.
A bit embarassing for Cobh in their centenary year. But it's a small club run by a tiny team of volunteers, so many things there are doubltess run on a wing and a prayer.
Where was it that had a low wall collapse about 10-15 yrs in a similar event - Monaghan United ?
Bray (at home v Monaghan)
I stopped counting at 300 at the Bluebell game without doing the whole ground. The numbers weren't great in the rest so I'd say 350-400.
6,455 in Tallaght last night.
