2005 Attendances

[Partizan]

5000 at the RSC last night. Confirmed in The Star and on Waterford Local Radio (WLR)

[REVIP]

1200-1300 at the Carlisle last night.

245 in the seats, 200-250 on the bank, 700-800 on the terraces.

Derry brought 150-200 fans who created a great atmosphere; sang their hearts out for 90 minutes, had a great repertoire of songs and a drummer with a great sense of rhythm.

[bluemovie]

Those Derry drummers are fantastic. Worth the entrance fee to any match alone. Most clubs just have a lad who likes to make noise, but they are genuinely musical. Definitely 5000 at the RSC last night....don't take the lower estimate as usual because it is incorrect.

[chippie0001]

Bohs v Longford crowd, 1,225.

[harpskid]

I'd say about 700 at Finn Park last night

[Rory H]

whats it going to be next year

[Speranza]

REVIP, most websites and match reports are saying there were definitly 400 city fans in the Carlisle. Brings it up to 1500.

[pineapple stu]

By that logic you should also add 10% to attendances because there guesstimates. What happens when you -10% and +10%, you are left with our original guesstimates.

No, because the guesstimates appear to be consistently 10%-ish over when official figures come in, and they're the conservative estimates.

Irish Examiner had 4600 for Waterford-Cork, I think. Will take that as it's about what's being said here anyway.

Confirmed in The Star

Yeah, if an attendance is in The Star, it must be true! Sure they said 5000 at Cork v. UCD recently and it was only just over 2000!

[Partizan]

WLR also had it at that number.

You, Trevy and SPX must be having a love match.

[Terry]

I wasn't at the match but heard between 200-250 for the Kildare v Galway match

EDIT: There was actually only 94 at the match !!! SAD

[pete]

How can there be 4500-5000 in the RSC?

From what i saw the stand holds approx 1300-1400. Was there seriously 3000+ people standing around the pitch? In places looked 6-7 deep but in other sections 2-3 deep. Anyone good with Maths?

Stand holds 1200, I think - or thereabouts.

3/4 or an athletics track is probably 400 yards given the extra distance out it is. To fit 3000 people, you'd need to give everyone 1/8yd each, or about four inches. If you really want to get technical, you could take the average waist size as being 34 inches, which would be a width of roughly 12 inches, or three times wider than the space you have. Add in a bit of elbow room and you'd be looking at needing to have the area around the track at being consistently 4 or 5 deep. Personally, I'd be very peed off to have to watch a game from beihnd four other people.

Lower reasonable figure gets it - them's the rules. Prudence and all that.

[Stato]

2651 official attendance.

[Stato]

... was extremely packed in our section of the main stand, why the hell didnt we have half?! Why only a third of the stand?

Pats season ticket holders have seats spread over two-thirds of the stand so away teams can only be allocated one-third of the stand for any game.

Seeing as we're getting all scientific....!

I was told by a Waterford official earlier in the season that the stand in the RSC has approx 900 seats. Assuming you have 400 yards of space around the track, that's 14,400 inches. Allowing that the average supporter's span from shoulder to shoulder is 21 inches that gives space for 685 supporters. For an attendance of 5,000 you're talking about 6 people deep around the whole ground. From what I saw on EL Weekly last night that wasn't the case.

[REVIP]

Various websites suggest that the RSC stand hold 1200-1300. If the crowd was 4,600 and the stand was full, then there would be 3,300 spectators to distribute around the pitch.

The RSC has an Athletics track around the pitch - which would be 400 m. If you allowed spectators 1 metre of space each, it would take 400 spectators to encircle the pitch. The circles would obviously need to get bigger as one moved outwards, but if they were of uniform size it would take eight circles of fans to generate 3,200.

[paudie]

There was maybe 200 fans on the grass bank behind the athletics track to the left of the stand.

[thomas]

1,493. Loads of cork "students" showed up.

[monutdfc]

We reckoned about 550 for Monaghan United v Sligo Rovers

That section was clearly over-sold though.
