CORK V Bohs 4,028
1,626 at Richmond Park.
Around 150 or so very happy Galway United fans.
From Extratime:
Cabo-Athlone 902
Shels-Cobh 644
Drogs-Waterford 550 estimate
No official figure from Finn park, and I don't think we'll see anything accurate. 4,500 capacity but easily around 5,200 or so there. Biggest crowd I've seen there in years.
Don't know Ferrycarrig's capacity but the stand was full and a good crowd all around the ground. 2500 at a total guess.
If this is to become the official 2016 loi attendance thread on Foot.ie then i just want to state that although i started it i have no interest in updating it or dishing out averages and trends :D.I'll leave that job to those with experience in the field.
Far as I know, the stand in Ferrycarraig holds around 800. Easiest place to misjudge a crowd. Often thought crowds were much higher than they were there. Lovely place to watch a match though and the best clubhouse in the country.Quote:

Jaysus I was way off I thought the stand held more than that. It was bloody freezing out there, the windchill was unreal. Nice place though and great clubhouse.
Would have said 1500 myself but club have just said on Facebook it was just shy of 1000Quote:

Good first attendance of the season for us. A very good performance as well meaning if we win next weekend then you'd expect to see our attendance rise by another few hundred for the next home game.
Round up from the weekend:
Harps v Derry - 4,600 sellout.
Cork v Bohs - 4,028
Sligo v Sham Rovers - 3,068
Pats v Galway - 1,626
Limerick v UCD - 1,252
Wexford v Longford - 968
Cabinteely v Athlone - 902
Shelbourne v Cobh - 664
Bray v Dundalk - ?
Drogheda v Waterford - ? (550 ET estimate)
TOTAL - 17,108 (minus Bray & Drogheda att)
Bray v Dundalk I'd say 1700 approx
Harps v Derry officially 4,195.
Doesn't include 300 complimentary tickets and all the forged tickets by a group of Derry support.
Bray v Dundalk - 1,702
Drogheda v Waterford - 736

Happy with the crowd at the Pats game, I see it was given as 1626 but there was a good bit more than that. Some good off the field stuff being done at the moment, hopefully it continues for the whole season.

A fair few can be in the bar, so it'd look like there's fewer at the game than there is. Or than paid in, anyway.
Cabo never give accurate figures. They hand out free season tickets to all their schoolboy players and must count them.Quote:

The PA can be poor at times in oriel park. The town side of the stand was well packed Nigel, you wouldn't have seen this from the away side, not to mention that area of the pitch! Anyway that part is very popular with families, easily 500 there.
Ps anyone, why are Rovers estimating attendances for the past few seasons? it always seems to be 'approx 2,000' or so, it can't be that difficult to publish an exact attendance figure, good lord it took Dundalk long enough to do this, thankfully from around 2012 they have been reporting exact figures, even if 2012 were dreadful crowds that averaged 950 or so.
It's ET's estimate. Rovers don't release official figures unless you pester them.Quote:

I'm happy if the quality of the tannoy system deteriorates if it means we can't hear the ridiculous comments of Mickey Duffy.Quote:

Personally I've always been on the side of the debate that the ground location is a massive plus for us. Look at the local gah stadium, it's hidden in behind a housing estate, has poor car parking facilities and no room to develop. We have one of the biggest car parks in the league (but does need to be tarmacked badly) and we have built a second pitch and have plans for a new astro facility to replace to old one. The small attendances are down to the total lack of promotion by the club, the lack of volunteers (which again the club have a lot to answer for as they have turned many away) and the fact we are struggling to attract young supporters, again the club has a lot to answer for there.Quote:
