2010 attendances

[peadar1987]

Derry City V Mervue Utd 1,336 watched the goal of the season from Jame's McLean.

He's be hard pushed to beat Daire Doyle's for Bray. About 750 at that one I'd say. Maybe 50 or 60 from UCD, although it's easier to get an impression of how many are in the Rehab Bingo stand when you're not actually in it!

I wonder if many would sit in that stand if they dropped the "bingo" part from the name

[**FrOsTy**]

Might actually increase the attendances if they do :P

[GGAJD]

Fair play to the 20-30 Galway fans who made their way to Tallaght for the second time in a week, I was talking to a couple of them in the Maldron before the game and they are a sound bunch.
Excellent video produced by some of they're fans with interviews of Hooperman, blackie, Fenn and Sheppard.

Think you're a fair bit over on both counts. Irish Times has 450; we reckoned 500 at the time, 600 max.

Other attendances in the Irish Times are 1098 for Pat's v Dundalk, 3879 for Rovers v Galway (strangely both different to other official-looking figures) and 400 for Drogheda v Fingal.

I saw that this morning, like I said, it's hard to judge how many are in a stand you're sitting in. I usually manage to overestimate Bray's crowd's anyway, probably more down to wishful thinking than any sort of honest recurring mistake!

400 for Drogheda v Fingal.

Would be surprised if it was even that.

[White Horse]

Would be surprised if it was even that.

I heard the turnout was awful. What is going wrong?

They played their hearts out against us a few weeks ago and showed a lot of pride and passion. Why have so many fans deserted the club?

[total hoofball]

I reckon it was around 550 for Bray/UCD, definitely between 500-600 anyway.

I guess it doenst help the club either when there was a piece on them in yesterdays star on sunday about financial problems there with players cheques bouncing.. the manager situation doenst seem to have helped them either and Darius Kierans hanging about has resulted in two managerial casualties.. Donnelly was very critical of the club in stating that not enough use was made of him so I get the impression that Kierans is the powerbroker in the background. It looks like Kierans could be cast aside or demoted as Drogheda seem to have accepted that the regulations have gone against them and they cant afford to take a chance of appointing someone else in a shortterm capacity.. Kierans I believe qualifies this weekend but that may not be good enough for the club..

[bullit]

The sun today

"Darius Kierans is set to step aside from first team matters when basement boys Drogheda appoint a FOURTH boss this season"

Like WTF

[legendz]

There should be a good crowd for the upcoming Boh's - Rovers game. The Tuesday night game should make for a good TV game as well. With the internationals a few days later, there won't be much other games clashing that night. Might be something to look at more often, League games on the Tuesday / Wednesday before Friday internationals.

Having saw both goals,Doyle's was a great goal but not a patch on McLeans, not even in the same timezone!

The Grand Prix in Darts is on Sky, a few may want to watch that as it is in Dublin.

Not wishing to rub salt in Bohs wounds, but thats some drop (630) on their average from last year, as defending champs, cup semi finalist and almost in contention for the title all year.

We are down 430 based on these figures, I`d prob agree with that, hardly winning a game (or rather losing most at home) over the summer didnt help matters, maybe the last 3 home games will see an increase on the summer drop off as we appear to have finally found some sort of 'consistent' form.

Decent figures from Cork/Derry in the FD, and you have to take your hat off to the Tallaght figures.

Bohs' figure for last year is massively inflated. I remember reading last year an official average halfway through the season and seeing that it was a good bit lower than the figure on here. I'd still imagine they've dropped a bit though.

[Dodge]

This year figure is massively inflated too...

[pineapple stu]

It's interesting to note how much their attendances went up when they stopped giving official figures (i.e. the jump from 2008 to 2009). I think that indicates just how wrong fan estiamtes can be.
