2008 attendances

I would have said about 500 Shams fans and 200 away supporters, a shocking crowd for a cup game

Not that it matters, but only 1,500 at Derry V Liffeys Pearse.

3852 on the Cork forum for Cork v Cobh.

920 at Rovers v Galway.

Limerick 37 vs Athlone Town. Official attendance 292

I know our own gates are down because of two factors Cost and our league position but from going to game and watching MNS there seems to be a fall off everywhere and its worrying to see probably all teams bar Cork not being able to attract crowds of 2,000 plus. Im really worried about not only our own future but that of the league in general am I alone in this.

Think a few of the gaps have already been posted; going to go back and find them and update this shortly.

PREMIER DIVISION
Bohs - 2,298 (2007 - 1,924; 2006 - 1,463; 2005 - 1,976; 2004 - 2,340) (missing Sligo)

Overall average - 1,430 (1,235; 1,070; 1,195; 1,218)

FD is an average crowd in the First Division; PD is an average crowd in the Premier Division. I've only put that in where the attendances was when the club was in a different one to their current division.

Estimates in but official figures missing -
Harps v Pat's
Harps v Derry
Harps v Rovers
Pat's v Bohs
Fingal v Dundalk

Recent games missing -
Bohs v Sligo
Cobh v Drogheda
Fingal v Waterford

The premier division has an average of over 2,000. If you took UCD out it could probably be alot higher.

Pathetic crowd at the Blues-Dundalk game last night, truly pathetic, only about 500 there.
Kind of crowd that makes the people knocking the s**t out of themselves to run the club and do the fundraising wonder what, and exactly who, they're running it for. I don't know how they keep going. That's me done with that side of it after this season anyway. :mad:

the official attendance for Wexford last night was 470 the PR guys may get back out on the road attendances starting to drop

About 800 in Tolka last night I'd estimate.

Cobh vs Drogheda attendence was 1700.

500.. sounds a bit too low! id of guessed around 700 - 800.. main stand had about 300 in it with about 100 dundalk fans.. new stand had about 400 - 500! 500 definately far too low

I know this thread is only for the league games, but, I reckon there were around 2500 at the Bohs/Rhyl game - not bad for a 1st round intertoto that everyone expected was a foregone conclusion

The Star had 530 but I think your quoted figure would be nearer the mark

About 800 Sligo-UCD.

Looked about 1800-1900 to me.Not bad given the btutal weather and the Dutch game on TV......(Obligatory dig at Rovers coming up, please look away) Twice as many as Rovers got for their relegation battle on Friday night.

I'd go with the lower figure - plenty of empty seats, even in F+G

I think Jodi takes 3,200
& looked like about 6-700 empty to me (had a good look around both ends of the stand)
plus about 100 Rhyl in the DesKelly
Thats where I came up with the 2500
But I'll have another look when its on MNS ;)
