2006 Attendances

**Terry** · 13/10/2006, 3:00 PM

No, it was the official number for tickets sold.

**pineapple stu** · 13/10/2006, 4:21 PM

It's what was called out as the official attendance by the club. Nobody seems to be questioning that. The rules of the thread say that's the first figure I'm going to take. I don't see the need to question the official figure the club itself gives because others think it was wrong. I may as well question every other official figure as well and start adding on a few hundred.

**Sam Savic** · 14/10/2006, 3:29 AM

Shamrock Rovers V Kildare County official attendance was 1282.

**bohs til i die** · 14/10/2006, 12:28 PM

1695 at Bohs v Pats last night

**pineapple stu** · 15/10/2006, 1:29 AM

Thought Drogheda-UCD was down on previous occasions, with the Saturday afternoon kick off not helping. It's down as 1900 for the previous game, so maybe 1500 this time? 30 UCD fans there.

**Comic Book Guy** · 15/10/2006, 9:55 AM

I counted 252

at the game, early evening kick offs are keeping the average punter away.

yes it was the official att which was read out over the Pa, but it excludes the "kids go free" - which there was easily 400, sure dads were bringing football teams of young fellas with them.

**GalwayFrancis** · 15/10/2006, 10:32 AM

between 200-300 at the Harps/galway game last night inclusing the 60 united fans who traveled.

I would have put the crowd higher than that- in the photo here http://www.flickr.com/photos/90739204@N00/270212936/ there is over 100 on the bit of terrace behind the goal that can be seen, and you could add on a few more for the two ends that are out of shot.

There was at least 50 or so on the gantry side and 300 in the stand, so I'd safely say there was 450 there- better than most attendances we've had this year. Cracking atmosphere for the number of people there too.

**Conor H** · 15/10/2006, 10:33 PM

Would have to agree i would have said 400 myself.Also agree on the atmosphere...2 vocal sets of supporters last night aswell.

And shouldn't this thread be stickied?

**monzo** · 15/10/2006, 11:17 PM

No - people don't notice threads that are stickied - best let this float about imo.

**Mr A** · 16/10/2006, 12:08 PM

Having talked to someone who talked to one of the gatemen the other night I'd put the crowd as 500 for Harps Galway.

**Green&whitearmy** · 16/10/2006, 6:00 PM

I'd say about 900-1100 at the game, I'm up for correction on that. Great game I thought, would have liked more at it but the season we're having I'm not surprised.

**pineapple stu** · 16/10/2006, 10:20 PM

**higgins** · 16/10/2006, 10:30 PM

You'd think a Shels Rovers game would get a good crowd going by those figures

Maybe next year!

Although I can't see us going down

**oriel** · 17/10/2006, 12:03 PM

As I thought almost every first div team reports their biggest attendance for rovers visit. Also note only Cork beat the highest so far in the first div.

Interesting figures all the same

Pineapple Stu - fair play to you (again) for taking time to do all of this.
