Quotepaper said just over 3,500!!Originally Posted by sligofan4ever
Not a chance there were that many at the game. 1200 max.
I was outside for the hour beforehand and 80% of those that went in went through the An post voucher turnstile, which had a constant long queue. Very very few paid in.
paper said just over 3,500!!
Absolute rubbish.
The club sold over 4300 tickets before the gates were opened and they were taking money at the gates also.
So IMO it was in excess of 4500, probably about 4600.
Well thats bullsh!t because if you watched the match you could tell there was easily 4,500 people there, the paper never gets it right with LOI attendances either, and being 1,000 off is embarassing, just goes to show that they probably didnt even watch it. And besides, by yesterday afternoon there was about 4300 tickets sold.
Coleman for Ireland
Does the paper get this figure from the club?
Definetely way more than 3500 and the figures quoted in the papers and on extratime for rovers all season have been on the low side. Makes you wonder if someone is fiddling the figures?
Irish mail reported gate receipts of eur41,000 for Sligo v Wat`d.

Any idea of how many were at the game today?
You've got no fans.
Dont think it was announced but i would guess around 1200. Bray had around 250
1200? There was about 500 people in that stand first half. Second half most seemed to go home. Emptied a lot after h/t. And im guessing Bray didn't bring 700.
One thing you got right was the last bit.
Shocking attendance in a cup semi final.
That ground combined with Fingals support is just hideous.
Cant argue with that
http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...-1924338.html?THE fans stayed away from Morton Stadium yesterday and Bray Wanderers didn't show up for 45 minutes either.
Before a crowd of fewer than 900, it was all too easy for Sporting Fingal to book their ticket to Irish football's biggest day in only their second year of existence.

With no disrespect to Sligo, we are on target for the lowest cup final attendance in the history of the competition.
I think the current low is set at 7,000 for the 2nd replay with Bray v Finn Harps in 1999.
I cant see this years figure exceeding that, maybe Sligo will bring 5,000, but after that its anyones guess.

You could be looking at 6,000 odd actually or what ever Tallaght stadium holds.
I'd say the Tallaght effect will bring in a few floaters from the area and there's always plenty of other loi fans there.
4,000- Sligo
1,000- Fingal
1,000- LOI Fans
1,000+- Floaters
So....if my calclations are correct, I think it'll have around 7,000. They definately should put in additional seating anyway.
(As for the game yesterday, the stand was quite close to capacity, let's say 750. Adding in for Bray fans and others scattered around the ground I'd say it just reached the 1,000 mark)

Agree with that. Obviously Sligo will bring the majority. This cup run will hopefully help to generate a lot more support for us.
I dont think you are too far off with that. Id say we can get 1500 or so with a good amount of those seeing fingal for the first time.
As for the crowd last night. We hit 1000 mark alright. Stand was basically full (stand holds 800) and at least 2 to 3 hundred bray on the far side.
Whats that supposed to prove. Its his guess, not fact
Keep trying though.
But you are also guessing...no?I dont think you are too far off with that. Id say we can get 1500 or so with a good amount of those seeing fingal for the first time.

You are arguing the difference of 100 or so which is hard enough. What are the facts?
Just like Wednesday gone you try to belittle a post without giving the facts. When I asked about a sub 100 attendance you went off on one. The attendance was 201. 100 more seems to be your tipping point
