2,200 would be a more appropriate figure imo.

Just like it always is

. No way was their 2,500 there last night.

About 300 at this game i would say with just over 50 from Dundalk

Bad crowd from cobh i would say considering had they won they would ve only been 2 points behind ourselves.

1st Division looks like going to the wire.

I should be able to get the gate reciepts

Won't somebody notice and ask for them back? Still, if you can get away with it fair play.

**pineapple stu** · 02/10/2006, 12:30 PM

About 3000 at the Brandywell for Derry-UCD last night. Certainly more full than the first game of the season, which was 2200-ish I think.

**Conor H** · 02/10/2006, 12:56 PM

Have to agree with the above, about 300 at the game, poor crowd considering, couple of factors hit the figure, Saturday afternoon kick off is V.bad (people at work, shopping etc.). Terrible weather conditions and L'pool/Bolton on TV.
As regards missing crowds for pineapple stu's figures
Cobh R v Galway 300
Cobh v Athlone (august) 350

We're now entering the interesting part of the season. The part where those in contention for titles, Europe/Setanta places, relegation or promotion should start seeing an uplift in crowds as the competition hots up.

This year uniquely there are still 3 sides in with a shout for the title in both the Premier and the First Division at this stage.

However, also uniquely this year - thanks to the World Cup break and the general increase in Euro success of our teams - we have a bigger than normal fixture back-log. This will, I believe, work against attendances, as more games will be on irregular mid-week nights, in worse weather than they would otherwise have been, and there will be more of them full-stop over the next 6 weeks. This highlights the inherent danger in comparing attednances year-on-year in a league where even a relatively small change in real numbers attending can have a big impact on the averages.

I expect to see the averages for clubs like Rovers, Galways, Dundalk, Derry, Drogheda, Shels and possibly Cork to increase over the next 6 weeks. Remember - last year's figures all contain the boosted end-of-season figures that thsi year's stats have yet to have yet.

That said - I'm surprised that the average for Derry this year is allegedly down on last year to-date (though I expect that gap to close over the coming weeks).

There's no relegation this year Steve. Crowds for everyone but teams in contention for winning stuff will slide I'd say.

**pineapple stu** · 07/10/2006, 3:12 AM

410 at UCD-Bray tonight. Damned Leinster playing on a Friday at getting 27000...

Looking forward to the end of this season, to be honest...

**DonO'Bate** · 07/10/2006, 8:43 AM

I heard that the official attendance was 3,200.

**Terry** · 07/10/2006, 9:24 AM

Couldnt even hazard a guess at what was there last night since I couldnt even see certain sections of the pitch such was the size of the crowd, but surely there was more than 3500 there.
