Attendances 2014

[Candystripe]

There was barely 6,000 at that tolka final in total, never mind 6,000 from Derry...

Attendance was 10,100 at that final.

[Martinho II]

Derry will bring around 10,000 again.The FAI cup final versus Shamrock rovers in 2003 did we bring less and that was because it was in Tolka. That time we brought 6,000 as we got the extra tickets that rovers couldn't sell.

The Shels final in '07 when Shels fans didn't turn up we brought 7,000+ and same as the Bohs game in the RDS

edit: Hopefully we might bring more as our last 3 finals have been humdingers and some locals were sorry they didn't go.

I assume shels derry final was 97?

[Martinho II]

I hate to be such a pedant (I don't) but you weren't in the 2003 cup final! Town v Pats.

wasnt that gate 15000?

I assume shels derry final was 97?

yes it was in 95. In 97 it was only 10,000

[D24Saint]

I meant the 2nd final of 2002. Typo

That was the final of fire if I remember correctly, didn't a floodlight catch fire.

yip, just in front of the Rover fans.

Don't think columbo is needed to connect the dots.

[Longfordian]

Somewhere in that region alright if I remember correctly. 6 or 7,000 from Longford I think.

[D24Saint]

Was it that many it was all lower tiers with very little behind the goals, We were on one side & Longford fans the other wouldn't have thought the lower tiers in the old Lansdowne held that many.

[Longfordian]

I had a figure of around 13,000 in my head, wiki says 12,000 so somewhere around that size.

[toffeejay]

Purely speculative I know but how many fans could each of the 5 Dublin clubs bring to a final that they were appearing in, say against a (non major rival) club like Derry?

[D24Saint]

Saints 5-6 k
Bohs 5-6k
$hels 1k
UCD 10 people
Rovers 100,000 tickets sold on lottery.

[red bellied]

Shels would bring around the same as Pats, they had 4,000 plus at the 2011 final.

[D24Saint]

Don't know about 4k they had a decent turnout in the small end of the aviva, the majority was Sligo and neutrals.

[MeathDrog]

Do Shels still have a hold fan-wise around the Ringsend area?

[TheBoss]

Anyone got attendances/guesses for the recent following games:

19/09: Bray Wanderers 2-4 St. Patrick's Athletic

26/09: Derry City 1-1 Athlone Town
30/09: Bray Wanderers 1-1 Derry City

1200 approximately.

Aye, they said something like that. Despite Tolka's capacity not being near that high and there being plenty of empty seats.

Unless you think the FAI tell the truth about their international attendances?

I had to go through Ringsend on the bus to get to our Cup replay vs Shels last month and a good few Shels fan got on at Ringsend.

I agree, I think it was closer to 9,000 with Derry having twice as many as Rovers.
