RT - the UCD figure is not official; it's based on a headcount.

39 at our first game in CHP last season aswell, all the more shocking when you consider the club has a bar :eek:

That's on a par with things like the Hellenic League in England - Didcot town could hold their own on the First Division:(

In fairness to Kilkenny City it's hurling heartland down there and there was a big game on telly that night aswell. Don't get me wrong the crowd was still pi$$ but I personally found the sub 100 crowds in CHP, Whitehall and St.Richmonds for scheduled games last season far more appaling :ball:

And I must clarify by saying it isn't so long ago Limerick were playing in front of myself and 50 or 60 others :(

It seems plain daft to schedule a match against major matches scheduled for television.

For what it's worth, I think the League should go for a single night for all the matches (probably Friday) and attempt to maximise the coverage from RTE etc - aim for a reporter in every ground, offer live updates from around the country to local stations. Playing matches in dribs and drabs means that those played on Saturdays and Sundays get next to no coverage.

Limerick Vs Dundalk

Five hundred and seventy seven (577) at the Limerick Vs Dundalk game. Poor pitch and some terrible reffing destroyed the game as a contest. Some cracking goals in it though.

Shockingly poor attendance at Pats v Cork tonight. Personally, I thought no more than 1800, but I was talking to a Pats director on my way out of McDowell's and he said 1400 - dunno whether that was 1400 who paid in with season ticket holders, etc on top. Either way, it was very disappointing, even allowing for it being live on telly.

PS Hi to Peadar, Eanna and Redgav. Told youse I had a good feeling beforehand. :D

Bohs-UCD looked about 1000 as the teams were coming out, but filled up a good bit. Maybe 1500, but that's a complete stab in the dark really.

thought it was a bit better than that - i got in a bit late (after youse scored) and it seemed by then better than last week against dc-si if i estimated 1900 then, say 2000 tonight?

I'd say there were about 600 at the Bray-Dublin City game...which wasn't too bad, considering all but about 20 were home support. Our previous gates, whilst good, have been somewhat inflated on this thread.

RSC attendance

I'd guess about 950 at Waterford United v Derry City last night
29/04/2006, 1:26 PM

yeah your probably right.. approx 900 in stand and around 50 or so around the ground.. dissapointing crowds this season... but with the state of the ground.. who can blame the fans for not coming?? its awefull.. we need that new stand very quicky for the fans to turn up.

According to WLR this morning, approx 820 patrons paid in at the gate. Give and take the season ticket holders and the usual hangers on that come in at half time, my guestimate: 950 - 1000 tops.

Pathetic but the pitch aint helping matters.

What's wrong with the pitch? Are the Waterford public refusing to attend the RSC due to the terrible seating arrangements on the pitch? :p

Sadly you cannot count, the attendance was a dreadful 1,255 :(

that's why you're the accountant and why i'm not...

that's dreadful though; with no Rovers and only one Shels game, we're going to suffer this year attendance wise if that's all we can get for run of the mill games

Smallest crowd I was ever part of was in 1977/78 at Tolka Park.
The visitors were Cork Alberts and the hosts were you guessed it
HOME FARM.... and the attendance including me was 28!

Last year when the club was on the ropes fewer than 500 bothered to watch a game at the RSC between Waterford United and UCD. The hardcore Blues fans like you, Partizan, I exempt from the following comments:
I sometimes wonder do the general public in Waterford deserve an EL team given their recent pathetic turn out at games? :rolleyes:

600 "wasn't bad"? Is that a typo? 'Cos 600 would be poor for youz, I would have thought.

Edit - 650 at Harps-Rovers.

Tonight was definitely our biggest crowd of the season-I'd say 3000, as for 4000? Not a hope!

We Cork City fans gets slagged off for exaggeration yet big differences in suggested figures for Sligo here...
30/04/2006, 2:05 PM
shedhead

what exaggeration are you on about? The most exagerated by a rovers fan was 3068, while the lowest was 2900. If u read the threads properly u would of seen that shels web reported at as 4000.

350 at Cobh-Galway.
30/04/2006, 6:01 PM

I'd guess a figure of 900 at Harps V Rovers. About 650 locals and 250 Hoops.
30/04/2006, 6:04 PM

Mr A on the Harps forum had 500 Harps and 150 Hoops...?

I think my figure is more accurate, though Harps had a ticket system and should be able to give a correct attendance.

My figure was merely a guesstimate from someone at the match. It may have been slightly higher, we might get an official figure at some stage.
