2006 Attendances

[Poor Student]

bout right, would have said 1200 myself and i'd say my guesstimate is closer. absolutely shocking attendance. i think the club will be changing back to saturday as quick as possible. attandance not helped by dublin city being the club they are. no fans, no talent and no entertainment

For some strange reason Con Murphy said "I hope they stick with this Friday thing and give it a proper try. Dublin City are not the team to judge this change against!". If they'd done even the mildest investigation they'd know how unpopular this is.

Perhaps he was suggesting that if every Premier Division club played on Friday nights at 7:45 we'd once again have a dedicated night for eircom League football - it's better now than it was a few years ago but have games scattered over different days with different kick off times is a bit of a joke really.

Got a text from Ash saying there were under 60 at Kilkenny-Athlone last night.

[bohs til i die]

1255 at Bohs v Derry

[pete]

Longford v Cork City. Guess at 500. Need local confirmation...

Might have stretched to 80 during the match and as many as twenty of them were from Athlone

[pineapple stu]

600 tops at Bray-UCD. Main stand (which I think holds 1500?) was no more than a third full, and maybe 100-150 around the ground.

at Terryland but if we keep drawing all our games it will get lower.

Yep, as the game went on a few more filtered through but along with the
20 (approx) from Athlone, there was also 2-4 lads over from England doing
a bit of ground hopping!

I didn't know the sporting fraternity of Kilkenny still upheld "The Ban"

[BrayUnknowns]

Would'nt have even said that much, 300/400 i reckon

1100 - 1300 seems to be general concensus but not sure that is right either. think it was lower than 1100. every club has to inform fai of official attendance. cant see why fai cant publish on their site. attendances should be a matter of fact not estimation.

i'd agree with the need for a dedicated EL night but friday nights IMO are not the answer. doesnt give away supporters a chance of making games. like next week against waterford. will only be few sligo rovers supporters at it. if it was saturday there'd be a large amount. Saturdays IMO would be a good day to have all games played. beit early in the day or at night. the whole things needs more organisation.

[Battery Rover]

300+ at Athlone vs Monaghan tonight about 100 left before half time.

Terrible as a lot of people I have never seen at a match beofre. They wont be back.

[Terry]

I would say we just scrapped 200 at Galway v Cobh match, 3 cobh supporters. Poor attendance for a match which would be for a local western derby according to some EL supporters

[Patrick Dunne]

There were 220 adults at the game, as per the lads on the gate, so
if you add in students, kids etc I would say 350.

[eamoss]

200 at Dundalk V Limerick

[anto eile]

c1000 at Rovers v Harps.
i think the official crowd was literally a couple of people short of 1000. so between 990-1000

[higgins]

I was at Tolka last night and find it very hard to believe you 1000 people came through the gates.

[WeAreRovers]

I was at Tolka last night and find it very hard to believe you 1000 people came through the gates.

You've found lots of things hard to believe over the last few months.

KOH

[higgins]

Well how would you divide the 1000 between the four stands?....

If that was a 1000 then Shels have been getting gates of 3000 for the past few weeks

Ive found very little of what I heard over the past few years at shels hard to believe nevermind the past few months

[gufct]

attendance versus Ramblers and 1100 for last nights friendly versus Ipswich.
