The paying attendance given for the Waterford v Dublin City game was 780, which was given in the Waterford News & Star. That figure excludes season ticket holders and concessionaries.

Typical UCD fan underestimating attendance figures.

I didn't realise underestimating attendance figures was a typical trait of a UCD fan.

Attendances should include everyone at the match. Season ticket holders aren't invisible people. If you were to discount season ticket holders at Celtic Park the average attendance would be about 3500 and not 59000. Let's start getting things right.

Stu, the official attendance for Pats v Derry was 1510. I was very surprised when I saw that, definitely thought it was far more, but feel free to over-ride my guesstimate.

Pat, does that include season ticket holders, as they are counted when they go into the ground?

**Terry** · 19/05/2006, 8:35 AM

thats all inclusive now

**Terry** · 19/05/2006, 8:48 AM

after the last few home results not to surprising though. Next home game for us could well be a sell out though as I have had numberous amounts of people asking me will tickets go on sale before match day!

So you think I just made up the figure then, do you? Or did you bother to look back over the thread and find the Waterford fan posting the figure?

**SPXcyan** · 19/05/2006, 1:34 PM

I was on far side of stand!! just an estimate!

**trevy** · 19/05/2006, 1:52 PM

Settle down lads

.Wasn't at the game but rte radio reporter Pat McAuliffe said 775 paid in on the night on his match report that night so it seems Partizans figure would be closer.

**chippie0001** · 20/05/2006, 10:59 AM

Taking a guess on the Shels v Bohs crowd somewhere between 2,200 and 2,500 is what I would think. Very bad turnout.

**Speranza** · 20/05/2006, 12:10 PM

Rogue Trader, it is a terrible crowd for two teams that play a few miles apart and consider each other rivals. Shocking that clubs can't get their support out for derbies.

**monutdfc** · 20/05/2006, 6:14 PM

Monaghan United v Kilkenny City - 120 at best

**Dazzy** · 20/05/2006, 11:14 PM

2700-3100 tonight at the Game, Maribor will be on with offical attendence later!

**harpskid** · 21/05/2006, 9:46 AM

450 at Harps - Kildare

**WindmillWarrior** · 21/05/2006, 10:57 AM

1,600 or thereabouts for Drogs v Waterord.
And Sligo v Drogs was a poor looking crowd ( I thought Sligo got Corkesque crowds!!) - not much over 1,000 I would say
