Was it not 1500 and something that was announced at the game?

**Olander** · 19/05/2007, 2:20 PM

nope they announced it over the pa system it was 1780, furthermore they said the same on the match report

I guess a lot of the people there for Sunderland tickets did not stay for the game- I was speaking to a steward afterward who said a lot got their vouchers, then left the ground again until the queue for the Sunderland tickets had died down. Sad really.

ya it is, although no disrespect meant to UCD its not a game that will bring out the crowds that coupled with the terrible weather probably accounted for the poor turn out.

Fair play to you for counting but I'd say the attendance was more like 500-600. Still terrible.

This is the point I've been trying to get across on the CPO thread: The fans aren't turning up for the games. This is what the CPO should be organising first, the basics.

Dodge you must have got your games mixed up here, this was a match (moved to a sat night for some reason) where DFC put on a big push for getting as many fans to richmond as possible, i actually remember the crowd given as around 1,200 and a lot of pats people I spoke to couldn`t work out why only 800 home fans turned up, the change from fri to sat night was the only reason given.

**The Rebel Ram** · 20/05/2007, 8:48 AM

About 600 I'd say. Not too bad but could do better!
Like my report cards all those years ago

Sounds about right, would have said 550 myself but who am I to take rr's glory

**Raheny Red** · 20/05/2007, 1:58 PM

What figure would be taken from the Rovers V WUFC game

**Battery Rover** · 20/05/2007, 5:29 PM

Athlone Town vs Limerick 37

Thought it was a poor attendance last night but when I spoke to the club treasurer he told me he hadn't counted the takings but it was around 650 incl season tickets, sponsor freebies etc.

Thought around 400 myself but I don't see the figures from the gate counters.

max 500, very poor crowd

**Pablo** · 20/05/2007, 7:52 PM

just under 4,000 at the City V Bihs game

**OneRedArmy** · 21/05/2007, 9:42 AM

I'd guess 600-700ish at Longford Town versus Derry City. About 150 from Derry.

Pathetic crowd, pathetic game, nice weather.....

Oriel's point is correct - there's no point in first division teams choosing their match night to maximise the away fans, as with a couple of exceptions there'll be less than 100 away fans anyway. Given the distances between teams their only aim should be to choose the night to maximise home support.
