Fear. Staying overnight and have wireless on the laptop. Drinking the memory of the match out of my mind.

(Nearly there!

Few cans for Stu tonight boi! That's the way!

The figures the club give are ridiculous.
Like poster said the club said it was 1200 tonight which is miles out and likewise for the past few games.
Tonight I would have said roughly 1800.

They're 200 less on average than fan guesstimates, which in my experience fits in well with how fans overestimate crowds, so they're generally not nonsense. I do think 1200 was too low for last night, but sure let's see what goes in the programme in the next issue.

Actual paying adults not including season ticket holders. Dont think they are ever included.

Extratime estimates 1700 for Sligo-UCD

791 for Fingal-Dundalk

190 approx for Longford-Finn Harps

**MMVIII** · 15/08/2010, 6:59 PM

Figures in our programme can't be right. I'm not being Bias or anything, but there far to low. Last night was a great example. Said there was 1200. Red stand was over 3/4 with about 1500 in it. And then about 300 spread around the ground.

How hard can it be to count people coming through the turnstiles?

Do they include season ticket holders that attend the games ? You show your season ticket and you get a match ticket and then get incuded in the attendance ye ?

No. Hand your season ticket in and just walk through. No ticket.

Most of those things are subjective, and I wasn't there, but yes.

Is the season ticket a booklet with a stub for all the matches or a credit card type card ? We show our season ticket at the ticket office and they give us a match ticket which the steward then takes the stub off it . It counts towards the attendance.
We had the booklet last year and you handed the stub off the relavant match to the steward.

Do Sligo record everyone that comes through the gates either paying or ticket holders ? If they do then the attendance they call out should be correct but if they dont record season ticket holders then if its a large crowd it could be a safety issue if they dont now exactly how many they have in the ground.
