2009 attendances

[citybone]

I'd have said about 2000 in Drogheda last night. The West Terrace looked pretty much full (at least the part under the roof) and must hold about 1000 (?) and there were decent crowds in the main stand and the away terrace.


But I never guess attendances so I'm open to correction.

the official capacity is something like 2100 so unless it was full i dought it

[SMorgan]

If there were 2,000 at the Drogheda-Derry match I'll eat my underpants!!

[trevy]

345 at Waterford United v Mervue today according to report on extratime.ie.
Another poor crowd but we won our 6th game in a row.

[steno]

counted 178 at Kildare county V wexford good crowd up from Wexford too

[Lamper.sffc]

782 was the official crowd at our game against Limerick.

Did the fact Leinster v Munster taking place so soon afterwards etc etc have any effect or would it have been same regardless?

bear in mind that 345 figure does not include season ticket holders though

[gufc2000]

Was there many at Athlone-Monaghan?

[pineapple stu]

About 220 at UCD-Longford.

Was there many at Athlone-Monaghan?

Official attendance 548

Yes Stan over on our website said attendance including season ticket holders was 450 which is still terrible. I don't think the Munster v Leinster game would have affected attendance as our game was over at 10 to 5 so I had time to go home, have a quick bite to eat and drove down to the pub in time for kick off in that game. We are playing some nice football this season and deserve a bigger support.

So will I - there was probably about 1000 at it - though our club does give official attendances to our local rag for all of our home matches which is out every wednesday!!

Rovers v Bray[/B]

It sold out again so I presume you count it as a full house?

I wonder does anyone take an actual attendance figure? I'd be interested to see it, obviously with 2,000 season ticket holders a certain % will be missing each week. I'd imagine I was one of the few to miss the Pat's match, while for someone like Bray a few more might be missing (having said that I was a bit late getting there and the stewards directed me into the turnstiles at the family end and it seemed pretty full, I'll have to have a look at MNS to see what it was really like, it's a very hard stand to judge the crowd from).

[pineapple stu]

I've counted them all as 3500, bar one which was put in as 3000. The reason is buried in the thread somewhere. Don't see any other option really, unless we taken them as 3400 to take account of people not turning up.

[gufc2000]

I know its not relevant to averages but there was 190 at the League Cup match in Terryland yesterday

[SkStu]

this might be a stupid question (probably is!) but if Rovers' maximum safe holding capacity is 3300 then how come their average attendance is over that??

[gufc2000]

There looked like there was a good few empty seats on one side of the stand in Tallaght at the Bray match

[holidaysong]

Recent games missing -
Bohs v Dundalk

The Jodi stand was about two thirds full whatever that holds and then another 250 Dundalk fans added on to that.

[HulaHoop]

Yes right beside the away support is rarely full to capacity however up the other (singing) end is always overfull with people standing on the stairs and walkways and crowded into the seating. Also plenty of people now stand behind the goal down that end.
