Are these figures correct for the official Capacities of the "Soccer" Stadia in Ireland?
Republic of Ireland Soccer Supporter Club (RISSC London).
Belfield has 1276 seats, plus standing. Standing is arbitrary really, but 2,500 extra tops.
Can someone cut this off to a new thread, please?

Weekend matches missing -
Bohs v. Drogheda
Monaghan v. Kilkenny
Cobh v. Sligo
Limerick v. Bray
Flansiro holds 6,500 when fully finished(behind far goal)
Bohs v Drogheda was around 3000 (about 900 away fans). They'll have the official figure in the programme on Friday so I'd leave it out of the average until then.
Official capacity of Richmond is somewhere around the 5,200 mark. But...record attendance AFAIK was a bit over 7,000 for the Pats v Cork league decider in April 1999. Go figure...
Revenge for 2002
Richmond Park
Capacity :
Seated 1800
Terraced 5400
Thats from the club if i recall properly.
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
the dundalk sligo and monaghan figures are all a little too generous imo
dalymount holds 8500max. the shopping centre terrace is no longer part of the ground. 3750 seats on the connaught st. 1500 seats in shed,some standing space also.c2800 in main stand
saw cobhs ground on tv3 last week for the cup highlights,and i find it hard to believe they can fit 9000 into their ground
brandywell is less than 3000 for this year
flancare is 6500 dont know where the 10000 comes from
tolka is 10500-11000 since the new stand was built 2 years ago
turners x is 7500, then theres some standing space at the back of the sta nnes end.it would be 8000 max
Dundalk 503
Athlone 591
Derry 1,156
These are all Official and ill try to tie down the bray one but id be surprised if it was more than 400.
I've heard various figures for the capacity of the stand at Century Homes Park, from 440 to 600. (I've also heard various stories as to why it's built so far back from the pitch, and, it seems to me, at an angle also. Still no idea why though!)
There is a lot of work going on at Century Homes at the minute, that is due to be finished at the end of the summer. One end and the far side of the ground will be terraced, so while I'd agree that 6,600 sounds on the generous side it might be close to the mark when the work is finished. I'd go with 5000.
a lot of work going on at the mo in century homes?????
me dont think so.....
the long awaited pitches for the juviniles and seniors is still on the long finger-only 1!!
the only thing i can see that has progressed is the new astro turf park-and its independent of monaghan !!!
3,500 until we build the new stand the far side.Work is at a standstill as the lack of Government and FAI Grants has stalled all work in most el grounds.
We had three games where we had in excess of 7,500 people in the ground all before the seating went in the new stand.
From couple of times i was there looked like stand doubling up as perimeter wall so maybe far away from pitch to save few quid there or else maybe were plans to move pitch later. Don't think ye'll need to fit 5000 into CHP anytime soon as only a few hundred at City games i attended there.
2,500 at Cork-Dublin City per the Irish Times today.
Are we counting the cup games.....if so....
$helbourne v Derry.....850
Again I was shocked at the crowd, we had at least 150 of that.

445 for UCD-Drums. Not counting them, but post away for general interest.
2,091 saw Trelleborg vs. Kalmar last night in the Swedish Allsvenskan. This is in a country that has more than twice the population of the Republic and has a league that is twenty places higher ranked that LOI football. Plus top-flight Swedish clubs have only 13 home league matches in a season. There is no league cup and the Swedish cup is a disaster with regards to attendances.
Point is, considering the above, attendances for LOI matches is good.
