From next week City will be publicising official attendances which will probably round some of the figures down.Originally Posted by Drumcondra Red

I'd say 50 plus or minus a few.
I have scattered my dreams underneath your feet, tread carefully, cos it's my dreams you walk on.
when is the last time or was there any occasion when shelbourne played in front of a full house at tolka park in domestic competitionDid you leave a few zero's out there Kev? Average in the cross is 53,000 is it not????

First of all, it wasn't a full house, it was majority full alright, but not a full house, we get pretty big crowds for derby games and when you lot come!
The official capacity of Tolka is probably more then any other ground in the league so to use the example of a ' Full House ' is very unfair.
you would be better off talking in terms of how many were at these games

If capcity is close to 11k does "majority full" mean 51%?
I'm not going to harp on about for ever but i'd be surprised if shels have had over 5k for any dublin derby in recent years.
I'd guess shels core support is 2k & able to increase to 3k for last game of the season in 2004.
Then you obviously haven't been paying close attention. The Shels Bohs title decider had more people than the capacity of Turners Cross, the majority would be around or over the 5k mark.
Pete can you stop going on and ON and ON about this ??
Shels have poor crowds and YES Shels people know we have poor crowds but why cant you go look at the average attendance list and see what crowds we get
You go on about this many and that many and highest and lowest and bla bla bla !! The figures are there for you to see. I would think you are hardly ever in tolka outside of a Cork game so where do you get these ideas from?
Yourself and about another 10 posters on here are always on about the low figures. At least if you want to moan then use the correct (or best guessed) numbers.

I wouldn't mind but our crowds are pretty much second only to Cork. Last year we got the third highest crowds, a tiny number seperating us and Bohs, Bohs crowds have since gone down and ours up so we'll probably finish second, yet it's always us they harp on about. Basically I figured out along time ago that it's all they have, they can't mention the football side of things to get their petty digs in so they have to go for this. It's fairly pathetic really.
I rarely comment on shels crowds.
Still doesn't change fact shels can only top 3k if subsidies with away support from dublin rivals.
Yeah which is so rare in the league of ireland with it's 80,000 a week averages

There was somewhere around 9000 in Tolka for a Shels-Pats cup quarter-final match a few years back, when the capacity was smaller cos the Subbuteo Stand hadn't been built yet. Think it was 1999, that'd make it recent. As far as I can remember, it was the first replay, we played them about four times in a fortnight (cup, replay, league, second replay) so it was all a bit of a blur.
Revenge for 2002
Interesting thread in the cork forum, where Lennox gives the average attendance for Cork games at 3000, and that they'll be publishing attendance figures from now on...

If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
Capacity is 6,700 - didn't know that. I know the actual capacity is higher than the official one, but it kind of knocks on the head the 9000 for the Bohs match at the end of last season! And that was me deliberately putting in one of the more conservative guesstimates!
Only official attendance we got for Cork was 6,224 v. Bray, when 7000 minimum was mentioned here...think the Cork figures are going to take a bit of a dip! I blame teams going down and playing for the draw personally!
An average gate of a few hundred more than Shels who ofc have no fans? Corkies exaggerating attendence figures, who saw that coming?
well Lennox is going to publish attendances from now on, so that's that sorted
Will he publish the attendances for the games up to now as well?
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Im just back from the Setanta Cup final, very poor shels performance... Good attentance, any guesstimates?! id say about 5,000 were at it, if not more
