where is 2005?

**trevy** · 10/03/2006, 2:01 PM

It should be easy enough to guess Waterford United attendances for the first few months as fans will be allowed in the stand only because of work on the relaying of athletics track and a new stand on the far side.Capacity will be only 1250 in the stand till new stand completed later in year.No standing around the ground allowed

Just stick 50,000 down for every Cork game

Just stick this in for every $h�l$ game.

**pete** · 10/03/2006, 2:29 PM

Turners Cross will be restricted to max of 6000 now so might make a bit easier to judge too.

**Kildare Lad** · 10/03/2006, 6:39 PM

Was Limericks attendance's really around 600? I was there at the end of last season and I could almost swear there was only about 150.......

**REVIP** · 10/03/2006, 10:34 PM

Maybe 2200-2300 at the Carlisle tonight.

Only two sides of the ground open. Seated area holds 1800, empty seats would have been compensated for by those standing.

400-500 behind the goal?

**Rebal Boy** · 10/03/2006, 10:44 PM

I'd say arould 3000-4000 at the X tonight. Its good for our 1st game. Hopefully we'll get more then that at the Bohs game.

**caolan** · 11/03/2006, 12:03 AM

probably 1900 at Pats waterford game- only the stand open

Yeah id say 3200-3500 tonight!

**JC_GUFC** · 11/03/2006, 2:09 AM

Monaghan v Galway - probably about 183 at the game!

**sfc red** · 11/03/2006, 2:14 AM

Great crowd at Shels and Bray I thought,
Even better for Cork considering their opposition, fair play

**Block G Raptor** · 11/03/2006, 2:20 AM

Couldn't give exact figure's .but the jodi was abssouletly jammers and the new away end(shed)had about 2-300 fans

P.S Nice to see quite a few non-Irish born people at the game tonight the initiative seems to be working. but after tonights perforamce who'll know's if they'll be back

Caolan, the club announced yesterday that capacity would be limited to 1750 cos of only the stand being open. Dunno how packed the away end of the stand was but at the Shed End of it, it was three people standing for every two seat spaces. If one of the Waterford lads lets us know what it was like at their end, we'll know how far short (if at all) the attendance was against 1750. My guess is not much.

Actually, he has a point that Cork fans exaggerate attendances more than any else. We have it here that capacity is limited to 6,000 - how long before someone swears blind that there were 6,500 at a Cork game and never mind capacity.

Started out around 900 but dropped down to about 200 at the end of the season.
