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

Worst. Thread. EVER.

**oriel** · 19/03/2009, 10:23 PM

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..

Have to agree with sligoman.

Plus, it clutters up the thread, making it harder to find actual (or "actual") figures.

**oriel** · 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

**corkharps** · 20/03/2009, 9:18 AM

Or we could predict the weather for each match!

Cold. That was easy

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.

**gufc2000** · 20/03/2009, 9:09 PM

According to extratime, the attendance at Terryland between Mervue and Finn Harps was 170. Big drop from two weeks ago

**superfrank** · 20/03/2009, 9:26 PM

I'd say it was more like 1000.

**superfrank** · 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.

**christo** · 20/03/2009, 9:35 PM

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.
