Fantastic crowd by Cork, would be good if their fans stick with them for the season. Hopefully Dundalk and Rovers can provide big attendances tomorrow and Tuesday.
#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), only Irish club to win a game / points in Europa League Group Stage (2016).

Say nothin til ya hear more!
Yeah that was the number that paid in on the night but doesn't include season ticket holders who don't go through turnstiles and drive into car park in the ground so general consensus on btid was about 900 to 1000 there. Its being looked into with the club if we get a full attendance figure to include everyone.Originally Posted by Sunny Jim
We've introduced booklet type season tickets this year that have an individual ticket stub for each game so hopefully we should be able to get a more accurate figure on our attendances, as previously season ticket holders just showed their card as they walked in and therefore it wasn't possible to know exactly how many attended the games. This booklet type season ticket is going to be the precursor to an electronic swipe card system for season ticket holders which will be introduced later on in the year.
Really disappointed by the turnout last night, the only reason I can think of is that is was Bray....
interesting to note as well Cork's attendance is up 1,000 on their first game last season (4,401 last night, 3,410 v Pats last season according to 2009 attendances thread). Good work.
If you've nothing good to say, say it.
One of these 2 figures is wrong then.
Stand holds 800. There was 1267 at the game.
There wasn't 467 people standing in front of the stand
Not really going to get into it beyond this but there was a lot more than 800 in the stand and there was plenty around the the railings. I felt there was between 1100 and 1200 myself when I was there last night. Not really worth having a disagreement over tbh
Would be amazed if Cork get the same crowd every week. Think the attendance for the next home game against Mervue United will tell a lot. There is a history here of getting good crowds one week then people realise it is not the Premiership and never go back.
I doubt think anyone expects us to maintain that crowd.
If we could average half of it it would be outstanding.
i find this crap about "yea there was 600 etc in the ground but when you include the season tickets which arnt counted, there was 1,000000" this is total ********! season tickets should be counted by ticking their ticket number, entry counted at gate, bar code ticket, but end story is, there counted. yet another season of guessing and est attendences.
limerick, all ticket, season ticket holders, players, officials, guests are all either issued with comp bar coded tickets or a plastic credit card style card.
Harps have clickers on the gate to count the season tickets at each turnstile. If they don't go to the game they are not part of the attendance.
By the way, we sold 9,000 season tickets this year, down 55,000 from 2009. It is a recession after all.
We've sold 30 this year, compared to 50 last year, darn recession!
i think everyone knows who he meant by big club...
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
I wonder how much of the attendance in the Morton Stadium last night was based on other teams in the Dublin area not having any games. For instance, I saw a couple of Pat's fans there, Raf was there, as was Roddy Collins and Colm Foley, most of which would not be there normally, I'm sure they're not the only ones. Mighn't be much but Fingal's attendance at their next home game should give a better indication of what amount of fans they have.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
That's exactly what i was thinking. There's no way that crowd was made up of all Fingal fans. I'm fairly sure the crowd was diluted heavily with a lot of neutrals who had no match of their own to go to and just decided to head down to a match.
It'll be no coincidence when the figure dips dramatically when a full fixture list is played on a friday with Fingal at home.
In saying that though, it's still good to see a big attendance
Terrible attendance for the first game of the season. We used to get more a few years back in the first division. I think the fact that we seem to have a new manager every season and almost a completely new squad every season as well makes it hard for floating fans to relate to the team. Seems to be just the hardcore going. Hopfully a couple decent results and it might pick up.
Well Bohs are already through so it's a dead rubber really for them. Although i can never understand the fans who pick and choose their home games to go to.
20 quid a pop I'd be picking and choosing too.
Super attendance at Turner's Cross last night.
Considering it was Corks 1st home game. Is there any chance that they'll
show it on M.N.S ?
We had the booklet last year and the credit card type this year. Season ticket holders go in a diffrent gate and get a numbered ticket to enter the ground with.
