Attendances 2018

[outspoken]

Wouldn't say more than 400 in Finn Park this evening. Crowds are getting smaller, atmosphere gone, not sure how long it'll be until we're down to 300 a game.

Shocking crowd and atmosphere of a morgue. Not the Finn Park I remember. Fair play to the town fans that traveled, never stopped singing all night. Fans have been superb this season

2276 Dundalk v Limerick

1862 at Waterford v St Pats.

A measly 734 at Terryland Park last night to watch us lose 2-1 against a bog standard Finn Harps team, crowds are really starting to plummet and that "performance" won't have helped the growing levels of disinterest in our season and the general malaise surrounding the club.

Keegan is under severe pressure now.

Probably 400-450 at the Bowl for UCD v Drogheda

[nr637]

Any home fans or Cork visitors with a crowd estimate at the Showgrounds, I heard close to 1,500 wouldn't be far off with about 150 Cork City noisey fans!

1793 Sligo v Cork attendance.

359 at Bray v Waterford last night.

Over 3,500+ announced last night, it was so noticeable how many regulars watched the first half of the Portugal vs Spain WC game in the nearby pubs and then came in after the kick-off!

4117 Dalk v ****

[ToberonaTornado]

The word c awk seems to be filtered name for profanity on this forum ?

[White Horse]

4117 Dalk v ****

Some crowd, considering the paltry numbers from Cork that made the journey.

Some crowd, considering the paltry numbers from Cork that made the journey.

The few that did travel were almost anonymous, apart from the reported pre-match aggro they allegedly caused in nearby Kennedys pub

[Buller]

Wow, great crowd for Dundalk. how did 4100 squeeze inside Oriel?! What is the capacity limit?

[Nesta99]

5500 is safe capacity limit afaik. It's not such a squeeze even at that capacity. A couple of friendlys in the 90's with circa 10k at them was definitely uncomfortable so what it was like with the records of c18k in Europe 1979-82 I just cant imagine!!

I don't know what number is on the current safe holding certificate, but based on the recent past it is likely to be well below what you suggest. It is probably around the quoted attendance figure from last night - circa 4,200

4117 and an empty away terrace section? - as maligned as it is holds 600 (based on 800 being the allocation to visiting clubs and that would include seats in the stand). I doubt that if more than 83 additional Cork supporters had arrived up they wouldnt have been turned away. I dont believe that the safe holding capacity would be ignored either so 4200 seems too low. I was of the opinion that the capacity was capped at 5500 as per the safety cert, down from 8000 as the previous stated capacity from 2001/02 (I know that to be the figure then as I did the walk around of Oriel with the FAI designated engineer for licencing I think the first year ground infrastructure was included). The club of course could have its own lower limit capacity of 4200.

[nigel-harps1954]

4,637 was a sell out crowd in Oriel in 2016, October 23rd vs Bohemians.

Assume 4,700 must be capacity limit at that. Certainly not 5,500.
