I think it was only that game and it was to cover for extra stewards and police at the game. Usually �10 in for an adult

Next year we will have better facilities with the new stadium. Tolka will then be the ****hole as you so eloquently put it!

That assumes they'll still be playing in Tolka next year.

A look ahead to this weeks games:
Premier:
Bohs v Rovers- 4000
Bray v Galway- 1500
Derry v Cork- 2500
Dundalk v Drogheda- 3500
Sligo v St Pats- 2000

First
Limerick v Athlone- 550
Mervue v Finn Harps- 250
Fingal v Wexford- 600
UCD v Monaghan- 200
Waterford v Shelbourne- 900
Longford v Kildare- 350

That would be my predictions for the games ahead

Interesting estimates gufc2000, but I think Derry will get more than 2,500, I'd go 3,000 +

all others look to be fairly realistic

If we counted as badly as you write, that might be necessary.

Hopefully they give Drogs more tickets than they did Bohs, there was plenty of room on the away terrace for more from what I could see. I think 4000+ is a very achieveable figure.

(Cant feckin wait for it!:))

You could pay in on the night though so that shouldnt have stopped more coming down. Its the same with tomorrow nights game, you can pay in its an attempt to stop crowd congestion which didnt help as there where hordes of people coming in through the turnstiles 10 mins into the game.

Maybe so, I think its the first Premier Lge derby since 1996. Might even beat the Dalymount crowd, we shall see.

How come ticketless Bohs fans were turned away then?
I heard Bohs fans got 520 tickets (100 of those for the stand) and that was it. Seems like its the same for us. Health and safety!

Bohs fans couldn't though. Some had to bribe stewards..

People actually predicting how many people will turn up at each game.

Worst. Thread. EVER.

Exactly, its just a bit of craic. :)

There`s enough bad news around

And its great to see the crowds that are being predicted for our games..:D

Have to agree with sligoman.

Plus, it clutters up the thread, making it harder to find actual (or "actual") figures.
20/03/2009, 9:08 AM

On reflection, Stu is correct here, this thread should be kept for 'past' attendances not future predictions, we can post future estimates in the weekly previews

Or we could predict the weather for each match!;)

Don't know about Dublin but certainly it's the warmest day this year down here. Should be good for the derby on tv tonight.

Derry is the warmest place today in western Europe!

Just heard that on the news.

Seriously warm and not a cloud in sight. It might bump up the attendances at all tonights games.

According to extratime, the attendance at Terryland between Mervue and Finn Harps was 170. Big drop from two weeks ago
20/03/2009, 9:26 PM
superfrank

I'd say it was more like 1000.
20/03/2009, 9:33 PM

The stand was not full. Loads of empty seat down towards the car park end. It was about 70-80% full, so you're talking 700-800. About 200-300 around the ground.
20/03/2009, 9:35 PM
christo

According to extratime there was less than 100 at the UCD game 15 minutes in

You always have to be very careful about assuming a stand is full. 80%+ full tends to look very close to full, and that's a big margin for error.

EDIT: I see a Bray fan's beaten me to it.

I've heard nothing from the lads at the game, but that sounds too low for me. I've very rarely seen it drop much under 200, even for fairly bad games in awful weather clashing with a Leinster game (sort of thing). I've texted Pineapple Stu to see if he can confirm or deny.

I don't think we even ever dropped below that either

EDIT: below 100

It was a good bit smaller than the cup games against Monaghan and Wexford last season, whatever they were. I didn't really check but under 100 probably seems about right.

Email reply from Pineapple Stu, verbatim:

160, give or take. Don't know what it is with crowd counting in UCD.

160 would look pretty damn small anyway.

You'd think our good start would have more of the home fans out. I've seen 300 at a bitterly cold, wet, dark Tuesday game against Limerick. I guess last season disspirited a few people.

Actually, I blame TV3's crappy show on Irish soccer hooliganism. It makes about as much sense as the show, but there you go.

160 is a disgrace. A junior B team would get that. A team like UCD should never be let in to the premier division.
