I always wondered what crowds like at 02 Park but had nothing to judge against. Looked like maybe 300 less at Setanta Cup last night.

Capacity of the ground must be 4000 odd so?

**WindmillWarrior** · 28/03/2006, 5:09 PM

Yeah between 300 and 500 less I would have said. Capacity of the ground is closer to 5,000 I think. With the bigger than normal steps on the terrace it can be hard to judge sometimes.

You might want to actually read my post before replying - in particular the bit where I quoted a Waterford fan who said even the away block was full.

antoeile - are you guesstimating Dublin City-Drogs purely on the basis of eL weekly?! Sure there was never a proper shot of the stand in the 30 seconds they showed!

pStu there was around 2500-2800 at the Derry game imo - open to correction!

**pineapple stu** · 31/03/2006, 11:50 PM

560 at UCD-Cork City tonight. About 80-100 Cork fans. Actually a decent crowd for a UCD-Cork game; think our home support is growing all the time.

**MariborKev** · 01/04/2006, 12:05 AM

2100 and something at the Derry v Sligo game, can't remember the exact figure

**Conor H** · 01/04/2006, 8:24 PM

1017......Galway v Finn Harps.

**SPXcyan** · 01/04/2006, 9:08 PM

nice!! bigger crowd than our game v UCD

jayzuz Waterford are losing support rather fast.. where oh where have the fans gone to since we came up

**Battery Rover** · 01/04/2006, 10:04 PM

About 350 at Athlone vs Dundalk tonight.

Nowhere near 2,000. Would have said a max of 1,700. The main stand holds 1,550 and had at least 300 empty seats, probably more, and the stand the far side holds 850 and could not have had more than 200 in it. Didn't look like too many standing either.

Good God I know the Dundalk players were doing there best to get John Gill sacked but was it that bad that you took to counting people after travelling from Limerick

lol well if i was John GIll id be leaving anyway cos how he signed some of those players ill never know. No we just had a chat with a lad who maintained that some clubs were inflating their figures to show that they are capable of "premier" football! so just before half time we did a walk. The game itself wasnt bad but experience won the day for ye Rossitor and Fortune were the diff. Dundalk need two new central defenders, they are shocking and we said it to some disgruntelled dundalk fans at half time. They told us where to go, ten mins into the second half....

those keystone defenders do it again...and two of the back four were subbed. Your new stadium looks class and is well located, the birds around town wern't bad either
