I think 1,216 as the official crowd. Why would an estimate get so precise? As I said, it looked about right to me

I didn't say it was wrong, I said that I had perceived it to be more.

You essentially called in their estimate.

1,216 is an official crowd. Whether it seemed like more or less. It's very rare in this League that you'd agree with either an estimate or official crowd.

I didn't think it was an estimate, I presumed it was official. Who the hell estimates to the nearest 16?! I was surprised by the figure because I had thought there were more from being at the match and I was sharing that view. The point I made was in regard to extratime's estimates, not specific figures such as the one cited.

It's fairly easy to guess the numbers in Richmond, the stands holds 1,800 and most of the fans are usually in there. If everyone at the game last night was in the stand (people from the shed and camac) would there have been 600 empty seats? I was in the stand and the half I was in was fairly full.

**Dodge** · 16/04/2013, 12:05 PM

Easily 600 free seats.

Anyone else feel like banging their head against the table when reading this thread??

Maybe it's just me. Maybe Im just a bit mad. Maybe I think too much. Maybe I've said maybe too many times already maybe?

Well if you take out the players (35), officials (4), Backroom staff (12), extratime.ie guy (1), I would wager there were -4 Waterford people there.

In saying that ET have the attendance down as 119.

226 at Wexford Youths v Longford.

1,781 at thomond park limerick v bohs

**Jofspring** · 16/04/2013, 9:03 PM

THought we would only get 1,500 max tonight so delighted again with the attendance. Everyone left buzzing after the final whistle which will hopefully bring a crowd back for the Shels game. A draw or loss tonight and I think the attendance vs Shels would have plummeted.

**NeverFeltBetter** · 16/04/2013, 9:44 PM

Good crowd given the circumstances.

I was expecting over 2000 but yeah, still a decent crowd. Been a few too many home midweek games of late. Good buzz alright at the end. I'd like to see a bounce from that with a bigger crowd for Shels.

97 Waterford fans got lost on the way to Galway.

Went down to the game in Limerick to see what the Thomond experience would be like and to visit another LoI ground. Great stadium, and I enjoyed my evening. As already stated there was a great buzz amongst the home fans at the end due to the dramatic finish, but Bohs could easily have won the game as well, which would be a major setback in getting good crowds into Thomond in future. Also it was a beautiful day/evening here in the west so for an outsider an attendance below 2k is a bit dissappointing. There was 80-90 Bohs fans there who gave their team great support and also expressed their opinion on some witch who has died. Bohs had the same number of supporters in Limerick on a tuesday night as Drogheda had at Tolka last friday, not a great sign for the club that finished 2nd last year.
