Pats V UCD = 2,500I just hope for Rory Kerr's own sake that this was a typo
Bray V WUFC = 750
There was no way that there was 750 in the Carlisle Grounds on Friday night. The uncovered seated area wasnt even half full plus the grassy banks behind the town goal was sparsely attended. I'd say 450-500 max and I'm being generous there.

The attendance given in the Waterford News & Star for the Pats game at the RSC was 812, that figure does not include season ticket holders & concessionaries. Why do you underestimate our attendances. Are you pursuing some kind of an agenda here against our Club given that the figures presented here on the msg board will be used come end of season.
The figure in the Waterford Star was never announced on this thread. A Pat's fan and a Waterford fan were both in agreement at about 750-800.
Facts, Partizan, facts.
That was the paying customers, what about season ticket holders and concessionaries. Some WUFC fans like SPX have a habit of underestimating like yourself.
Fact: The stand in the RSC holds 1275 not the 1000 odd that is frequently stated here.
I just guess an attendance by lookin in the stand in games! everybody knows a guess will never be exact!
your new managers 1st match, local-ish derby, absolutely shocking!
And Galway were at homeyour new managers 1st match, local-ish derby, absolutely shocking!
Who Cares?!
Reckon about 250 max at Cobh/Monaghan, v.poor attendance. Seems to be a common theme about this weekend's atendances.
''and I for one welcome our new insect overlords''
Our attendence was over 2k so we were ok!
Limerick Vs Kilkenny was the lowest attendence in over two years. 275 which was pretty poor.
There were about 400 at the Bray-Waterford game on Friday. The topic was raised at one stage of the game, as we wondered where everyone was.
And 6 of them were Mons fans....including 3 mad looneys who almost got thrown out of the clubhouse....(not me I hasten to add!)
Spot on. That's what I estimated - about 40 of whom were away fans. It's really weird in the Carlisle Grounds without the Shed. Foot.ie posters clearly put much more effort into crowd guesstimates than the Star. There's no earthly way there were 750 at that game. The Star's numbers are always crazy, but then their description (also used by the Times and, most embarrassingly, United's official website) of our goal was that Lamberski scored from a Hughes cross. Hughes had been substituted at half time and everyone in the ground knew it was a Wes Charles own goal from a Paul McCarthy cross. The laziest journalism I've seen this season.
Also, can I make a prediction of 100 for tonight's UCD v Waterford crowd? We usually boost the numbers there, but very few will be travelling on a Monday to watch more rubbish in the rain especially with the World Cup clashing.
Re the Blues v Pats game: I wasn't online at the time (I was in a 3 week huff after another humiliating defeat), but I remember thinking the one positive was that at least there was a half decent crowd. I estimated 1000 - Blocks C to E were nearly full, not sure about B and Pats had a good travelling support in Block A. The usual 100 or so spread around the ground too.
One of the club directors told me the pay-on-the-gate figure was 812 so I'd say 1000 is a reasonable guess........not that it matters - another hour and a half that we'll never get back!
thats shocking for a team top of the league
And Galway were at home
No they weren't. (Trying to detect some semblance of sarcasm in the post, but can't...)
It'll be a rubbish crowd in line with everyone else getting rubbish crowds during the World Cup.
Thank God the ten of yez turned up last season though - really boosted the crowd that night.
I think our worse crowd in recent memory was against Limerick in the first division on a rainy Monday night. It was 175 that day and I think your right, we could get less than that this evening.
It was 148 v Cobh the same year. Bank Holiday Sunday with Dublin playing in Croker at the same time. We had to move the match because we were playing Cork in the FAI Cup the previous Wednesday because they in turn had been playing Nantes in the InterToto the previous Sunday.
Pineapple,
would you mind typing in, in future the proper attendance figures for the RSC, preferably those of us who frequent there which oddly enough correspond with the figures given by Waterford News & Star.
