2013 Attendances

[adamd164]

Depending on the game, it was in the range of 600-1000 if I recall correctly (about 2000 for the game against us).

[Comic Book Guy]

I'm pretty sure the first home game with city was 4,000, was the only sell out in Cobh that I can remember ever.

[Jofspring]

Limerick vs Shels 1,584

[wonder88]

607 offical for Mervue v Longford, got to be a record crowd for Fahy's Field.

[Dunny]

Think it's 1217 in Oriel toniight

[White Horse]

Think it's 1217 in Oriel toniight

1,733 is the official attendance.

[outspoken]

607 given as the official attendance last night, as always I'm skeptical of that figure.

[Mr A]

Some somewhat shaky pictures from Fahy's Field. Somebody can have a go at counting if they fancy it.

[gufcfan]

I should have more sense, but for old times sake...

607 or whatever it was isn't the highest attendance they have reported iirc.

If the esti.ates coming from people are accurate then it may hve been a record crowd.

[Dalymountrower]

1376 in Dalymount for Brays great escape part XXMLX.

[Nah Nah Nah Nah]

1612 in The Showgrounds

[adamd164]

Cork City vs Pats - 2398.

[oriel]

Cork City vs Pats - 2398.

That was a very strong crowd to finish your season Adam, especially after a bad defeat last week.

Had Pats many at it?

Nigel, when you get time to do your final end of season figures, if you have the highest and lowest of each club that would be very interesting to see.

These were ours.

Highest
09-Sep Drogs 3,324

Lowest
24-May UCD 1,155

Avg was 1,973 for the season, I think we may be out a few from your figures, but we'll not fall out. I didnt realise until I read it on orielweb this am, that our lowest this season (1,155) was bigger than our average for all of last season (950) ## Credit Holidaysong for that spot.

[outspoken]

999 official attendance against mervue on Friday night (there were a few later comers tho so 1000 for all intended purposes). That would be our 2nd highest home attendance of the season after 1115 against athlone.

[nigel-harps1954]

Anything from Drogheda v Bohs? No figure given anywhere. Seemed to be a large travelling support too. Anyone got any sort of accurate estimate even?

[nigel-harps1954]

Final figures for 2013 season.

Note; a mix up with excel had wrong average figure and overall attendance for the last update which will explain any massive jump in either figure.


Missing Drogs v Bohs.

Nice one Nigel

However my eagle eye has noticed 10 figures for UCD compared to 9 for the rest?

[Charlie Darwin]

The 60% drop in Cobh's attendance is unforgivable. Sack the board!

Longford would want to have a look at themselves for that average attendance, even if it is up on the last few years. Startling jump from Athlone.

As I correctly predicted months ago in the face of ridicule, Bohs have achieved a healthy increase in average attendance (although perhaps the extra game vs Rovers accounts for that), while Pats and Dundalk in particular will be pleased with themselves. A lot of work to do for Rovers and Sligo, goes to show how difficult it is to maintain your fan base when things are slightly sub-optimal, let alone in freefall like in Tallaght.
