How many do the stands hold? They were both more or less full. There was almost a thousand of us. 4,000 in total sounds about right.Quote:

Enjoyed the game and atmosphere. And it was a good result for us as it means we are still in contention for europe.
our game had a good attendance .. shels brought a large travellin support reckon that our gate was around 500 people
Athlone Town vs Sporting Fingal official attendance 263
Wouldn't Derry have brought clickers for the turnstiles to make sure they got the correct share of the gate?Quote:

Not sure if split is different in Semi-final though :confused:
The official attendance at the Galway United vs Derry City semi-final was 2,874.
If would have estimated the crowd at 3,500, but seeing as the gates were monitored by Derry City, I would have to take the above figure as correct.
Just wondering Pa what way they accounted for the family tickets €30 for 2 adults & 2 kids that could be where the discrepancy is as there was a lot of them sold in Galway and Derry.
2,000 at Dundalk vs. Limerick.
362 at UCD v Bohs (that's the Big Club, for reference...)

bohs attendances (home and away)should be better for league champions but something you should take on board is that the bowl on a cold night is not an attractive destination, not least for a meaningless game (for the away fans i mean)
get your own house in order before slagging other clubs for not bringing enough fans to your games especially when the game means so much to your club
Awful crowd in United park, 500 at most with over 50 of that Harps fans. Disappointing when you consider the financial plight they are in and the fact they are last season league champions.
I'd say there was between 300 and 400 at the Bray match last night.
monaghan town match **** crowd reckon sixty to seventy people at it..

2,200 at least for the rovers game. Not official as i was not chatting to my mate at turnstiles tonight. But at least 2,200 is open to correction.
150-200 Shams fans at the game.
Would have said 2000. 1500 in red stand. About 500 between the blue stand and the two ends. One of our bigger crowds of the season.
O ya and our average figure for the season which is 1881 is definitely way to much. It can't be much more than 1500,our attendances are constantly overestimated.
Fairly accurate judgement from inside man. Bout 80 Shams though, another thing Rovers fan, main stand= 1700 full. 1550 seats plus area at back of stand!
Agreed 1,500 red stand. Big crowd behind goal on both sides which i estimated at 300. About another 400 in Jinks = 2,200.Quote:

Then to say there is another 300-500 in blue stand is very accurate if you ask me. hence the 1,900 average as we have got some bumper crowds this season also ; Pats early on, Shams x 2, Derry, Bohs early on. Which would bring the average up on woefull home attendances such as UCD. So don't come on here and say my figures aren't accurate when they certainly are.Quote:

Trust you to to get involved. Never mind that biggot Rovers Fan. He is talking nonsense. Your the fella who when fans post their estimations of the matchs even when there may be five who say 1,400 and one ejit like Rovers Fan to say 900 you chose 1,000 as the figure. Where is your bloody averge there?Quote:

(Though for the record, I think they're too high)
:D, classic how you think our attendances are too high when you've been to the Showgrounds once this season.Quote:

Lowest league ATT at the Brandywell this season.Around the 1,700 mark.
Obviously even some season ticket holders couldn't make a sunday night game!!!
Yeah, it was a bit muted alright. I think a combination of trip to Galway/upcoming cup final/Halloween weekend spending/fairly meaningless game/F1 conclusion kept a few of the more 'casual' fans away. I imagine the Cobh game will be much the same.
Athlone Town vs Wexford Youths official attendance 273
It's hard for fans of any club bar the bottom 4 to be excited about the remaining league games to be fair.Quote:

About 20 Galway fans and 20 Harps fans there :D
Hold on a minute there now! Drogs supporters have jumped to the rescue of the club on numerous occassions throughout our history. Just last wednesday night between 400 and 500 supporters turned up to an emergency meeting held about the state of the club and the setting up of a trust. Yes the general people of the town don't support the club as much as they should, but that can be said for every LOI club in the country!Quote:

add about another 10 on to that now and it might be a bit more accurate. stil a poor turnout but travelling half the length of the country on a sunday night (after the halloween weekend) was just too much for a lot of fansQuote:

Drogheda don't mind they have their one league and one cup so they'll be happy to going back to proping up the league in 2 years
How low is it Jinxy? Cork didn't have much over 100 for a similar meeting when they went into examinership. Their trust has something like 200/250 members and look what they have achieved.
D*ndalk fans, heads out of a*ses please!
For a club on its knees I'd of expected more locals to attend.Quote:

Doesn't make sense and before you attack me and other dundalk fans to wish ill on drogheda we don't, louth needs two clubs.
In fairness there is other threads on all that Jinxy!
