From who? 1 person?

Almost every Cork guesstimate has been out by 1500-2000 so far. I usually take 1000 off the lowest guesstimate and still have to reduce the figure when the official figure comes out!

You're obviously not looking at my estimates so

Got any examples...?

**pineapple stu** · 12/08/2005, 11:14 AM

Well, you're the one who posted 5500 for Cork-Rovers!!

Also, go back to the early 30s in pages - Cork-Longford guesstimated at 4,000 but actual was 2,376, while Cork-Bohs was guesstimated at 5,000 (brought down to 4,000) where actual was 3,600. That's just the last three games!

Of course!

You put in 4,000 for Cork-Bohs in fairness, versus 3,600 actual. In general, however, Cork attendances have been ridiculously overstated. Trust me - I've had to edit them every time!

See, just use my estimates

although i don't get down very often to the cross.

I would treat �official� attendance figures with a degree of suspicion. It's in their interest to underestimate as well. Cough�revenue commissioners.

**Buller** · 12/08/2005, 10:09 PM

Pats -V- Derry: 1,295 (official att.)
Dont ask me how i know...

**Battery Rover** · 12/08/2005, 10:22 PM

About 200 at the Athlone vs Monaghan game tonight including maybe 10 from Monaghan.

We made a poor team look like premier winners giving them too much room. Pain in my neck looking at the ball in the air.

TG4?

Not sure how they got that figure as main stand looked to be maybe half full plus same on Camac - from tv pictures...

**pineapple stu** · 13/08/2005, 1:40 AM

350 in Belfield for UCD-Longford...woeful crowd...

Main stand had lots of spaces in it, was a third full if you scrunched everyone up together, that'd give 600. Maybe a wee bit more. No-one in the Shed or at the turnstile end. 1295 sounds about right, it looked around the same as most of our crowds recently, which have all been around the 1300 mark apart from derbies.

**Rebal Boy** · 13/08/2005, 10:47 AM

I'd say thats about right. 600 is the main stand, but on the other side when TG4 showed it. It looked like a fairly handy crowd from there. Shame the crowds are bad all around Dublin. I mean Shels are stuggleing to get 3000 at a home league game, thats not right. Their was 2000 at Bohs vs Bray says The Star. Not bad for a Thursday night.

How could 3406 be the attendance at Cork V Rovers? That would mean the ground was less than half full. My estimate would put the crowd at around 5000.

The Star said 700

Sadly the star is talking out its arse. The official attendance was 1,110 one of the worst crowds I care to remember. Also the home game against UCD was something like 1,200 again not very good.
