Attendances

Kildare v Harps last Monday. 200 max

**pineapple stu** · 29/06/2004, 5:38 PM

Cheers for that. Going to take 20% off the Bray attendances just to compensate for your admitted ability on crowd estimating! Worst it'll do is keep the attendances on the low side anyway, which is the way I'm deliberately trying to err. So that's 500 v. Athlone, 1200 v. Kildare, 350 v. Kilkenny and 250 v. Limerick and yet another club to turn in their worst attendances of the season during Euro 2004...

Friday night against Kilkenny was a very poor attendance. I counted only 30 adults in the covered terraces about half way through the first half - there were probably about 30-40 juniors on top of this number. It was so cold I moved to sit in the sun. There were probably about 400 in the ground altogether.

Last night's match gainst Limerick was better than I would have expected - no football on TV - there would have been around 300.

That also sounds like Bray alright...

I think the Kildare figure might be artificially inflated - there was one week when Ireland were training at The Carlisle and free tickets for the following Friday night were given out to juniors who came along to see the session

Nothing artificial about it surely - 'tis a good idea on your part. I know the words "good idea" don't exactly sit well with Irish football, but there you go...

Official attendances are to include all spectators, regardless of whether they paid, had concessions, etc., so it's fair enough to leave it as is.

We scored with the last kick of the game after a dismal performance...what do you expect, a Mexican Wave??

**eamoss** · 01/07/2004, 4:17 PM

Somthing like that

**pineapple stu** · 03/07/2004, 2:11 AM

Apparently 40 at Monaghan-Cobh, according to a couple of Monaghan fans we were talking to today. 242 at UCD-Monaghan.

**TheSaint2002** · 03/07/2004, 12:03 PM

A Maximum of 800

at the Pats V Derry game in Richer only about 650 or so paid in so add season tickets to that and skivers 800 should be about right.

Was shocked at your attendance last night myself, yep id say 800. Is that your worst crowd ?

2 away wins in a row for us I think we were all in shock on the way home

Yep id say it is the worst for the season so far and worst in a few years and thanks to yous its gonna get worse, for a Friday the crowd was particularly poor as normally whatever the situation Pats get good crowds on Fridays obviously the price increase has put people off and with the standard of entertainment last night who blames them sadly us diehard have to cling on for hope.

**trevy** · 03/07/2004, 1:44 PM

I wasn't there myself but was told there was 600 max at the game.Our worst of the season and our attendances are falling away with our form.

**gufct** · 05/07/2004, 9:10 AM

and the Majority of them were there for the mascot draw for the Man. Utd. game.

This season is the worst i have seen for crowds in the el.Where is the great PR scheme we were promised.There has to be a serious banging of heads togethwer and a proper 5/10 year Business and Marketing plan for the el with no fudges or stroke pulling.

Just over 1000 at Town v Bohs. Relatively poor travelling support, and I reckon ours suffered due to the BogBall. No more in the stand than usual, despite the rest of the ground being closed off due to the groundworks...
