2005 Attendances

[OneRedArmy]

I find it very hard to believe you'd fit 3,000 people in the St Annes end tbh

That would make it quite a bit bigger than the main stand in Derry, which runs the full lenth of the pitch and a bit and would make it about the same size as the Jodi.....

[Slash/ED]

Crowd was nothing like 7,000 at the cross last night. From what I heard, it might not even have been over 5,000

Really? I would have put it at somewhere around 5,500/6,000 myself but I don't know how much each stand holds.

That would make it quite a bit bigger than the main stand in Derry, which runs the full lenth of the pitch and a bit and would make it about the same size as the Jodi.....

Slightly bigger than the Jodi in fact. There's no way it's even close to 3,000.

I find it very hard to believe you'd fit 3,000 people in the St Annes end tbh

according to corkcityfc.ie :
CAPACITY: 8000 – 9000
SECTIONS OF THE GROUND: Seating Areas; The Donie Forde Stand (1900), St.Annes End (2800), Derrynane Road (1185). Standing Areas; The Shed.

re st annes end: lets say each of the 5 blocks is 18X25 seats.that gives a total of roughly 2250 seats.another 250 would comfortably fit standing on the grass and at the sides, but i doubt that is officially allowed-no grass or loose soil/ground as per uefa licensing?

for a start,the capacity is nowhere near 9000. 7200 tops imo (if standing in st annes end is included). 1850 main stand, 1100 small stand, 1500shed, 2250 st annes end seats, 250 st annes end standing means the capacity is round about 7000 on the dot.

btw theres a good 360 view of turners x available on the cork official site.

i estimate the attendance last night was 6250.thers was about 150 empty seats on the derrynane side,and a couple of hundred empty seats in the st. annes end
'twil be interesting to see when the official figure is published.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Rovers v waterford on friday, id say 1250. 350 Rovers.900 waterford though i didnt get agreat view of waterfords crowd,though there were plenty of empty home seats near our section. doubt the crowd was anywhere near the 1600 mark mentioned earlier

------------------------------------------------------------------------
jodi stand at dalymount holds 2742

[Lim till i die]

Ha ha, made yourself look stupid there lim til I die. I alway's get the attendance off the Rovers site, so if there's a mistake then blame them. Why would I wanna fake attendances?

Oh Dear supporting the club from Hogan Park I guess I'm not used of gazing upon such magnificent structures Wasn't blaming you for the 1600 thing either it's a bit of a pi$$ take from your website. The game against us earlier on in the year when we brought 4 up definitely but not the other night.

[hoops1]

How is Thomas Mc Gauley playing?

[Rebal Boy]

Theirs easly 7000 there last night. Donie Forde, Derrynane side and the Shed were all full. A few empty seats in the St. Annes end. Alot of people were standing up in the railings behind that goal too.

i went to the homefarm-galway match with my cousin who's from galway and i counted about 15 galway fans at least 110 dublin city supporters, mostly families... terrible support, glad galway won. ill be very dissappointed if home farm get promoted this year.
Anyway that makes 125 at the match approx.

A highly skeptical source I'd say to be fair.

thats utter rubbish. easily 7,000 there despite what your being "fed" from above

I'm not being "fed" anything, I'm just saying what I heard. I didn't say I believed it, or agreed with it, I just said what I heard. I would have said about 6,000 myself

[pete]

Only way could be 6000 is omitting season ticket holders or sponsor freebies.

I was surprised crowd so big given record this season & that was August.

[paudie]

I'd say 6,000 mightn't be far off. Good few empty seats in St Anne's and in Shels section of Derrynane.

There was at least 500 more at the Bohs game at the end of last season. The St Anne's was packed that night with at least twice as many standing there.

What figure was included for that match?

[pineapple stu]

A highly skeptical source I'd say to be fair.

True - yer man does seem to have a reputation as a bit of a wind-up merchant too. On the other hand, no-one's questioned the figure yet.

[pineapple stu]

What figure was included for that [Bohs] match?

One of my moments of weakness before I knew the ground's capacity... [SIZE=1]9,000[/SIZE]
Even that was down from the people who swore blind there were 10000+ there.

[dublinred]

maybe just over 100 with about 20 from Galway.I wont comment on Dublin Citys existence.

Hard to believe for the league leaders , surley the UEFA licensciung laws should have a minimum requirement for fans, 80 home fans is not good enough for a senior league about time the league did something about the deadwood clubs going nowhere, before I am accused of bias I acknowledge that DC have a good team and manager and will get promoted but are they good enough as a club for the premier divison.

[pineapple stu]

surely the UEFA licencing laws should have a minimum requirement for fans

Stupid idea (or else you're missing a smiley or five). What's the ref going to do - count the crowd before the game, and if it's under 100, call the game off?!

are they good enough as a club for the Premier Divison?

The current team isn't good enough at all - UCD beat them fairly comfortably in both cup competitions. But they don't have to be good enough for the Premier this year - wait and see who they sign in the winter (if they go up) before posing the question.

Not a bad idea , 500 home fans or award the points to oppostion , would not take long to weed out the deadwood.

Club = Team + Facilities + Fans + History , if you are lacking on 3 fronts you should be playing Leinster league rather than taking up space in the premier division. The current structure is a joke with regional teams dying in the first divison and too many Dublin based teams.

[Battery Rover]

Yes the regional teams are dying in the 1st Division but it is up to us to get out of it not look for an easy way out.

Agree with the point that 80 home fans at a match involving a team at the top is terrible even ourselves rooted to the bottom of the league can muster 200 or so die hard supporters. But then we have been around since 1887 thats 118 years

Club = Team + Facilities + Fans + History , if you are lacking on 3 fronts you should be playing Leinster league rather than taking up space in the premier division

Lets see
Team...Well we have one of them and building a better one to get us out of this division next year. Only working of a €3000 budget here.

Facilities.....We will have excellent facilities from the start of next season.

Fans.....We have some of them even though a bit sparse this season. But remember it is easy sing when your winning.

History...Around 118 years so is that long enough

How could you implement a rule like that on those points. It would mean that we would be able for the premier. I dont think so.

Do you think that you are good enough for the premier division. On your results against us I doubt it. 0-0 and 1-0.
