eircom League 2007 Attendances

[pineapple stu]

FFS Pineapple Stu concentrate on what you are doing. You're not getting paid to try and figure out the league attendences for nothing you know. Please don't let the standards slip again!

You feck off to the contunity attendances thread you.

Higgins, if you want to make your point without going off on some whiney rant, please feel free to do so. Leixlip Red posted the attendace for Kildare as being just over 1500, and quoted Fintan Cassidy as his source. I'm not going to argue against official club figures in the absence of anything else other than ranty speculation.

Update after week 3.

I've put in 117 for Cobh v Harps for now, being the lower figure I was given. I know that CBG certainly has access to official figures in the past, so if we can confirm that the 252 is official, I'll replace it.

I've revised Bray v Bohs from week 2 to 1800 in line with the continuity attendances thread. The 2500 which we had was from the papers, which I'm quite happy to ignore.

PREMIER DIVISION
Bohs - 3,078 (2006 - 1,463; 2005 - 1,976; 2004 - 2,340)
Bray - 1,800 (1,027; 1,550; 818 FD)
Cork - 3,000 (2,941; 3,644; 4,033)
Derry - 4,000 (3,229; 2,698; 1,672)
Drogheda - 1,700 (1,751; 1,682; 1,554)
Galway - 2,580 (1,148 FD; 566 FD; 571 FD)
Longford - 900 (681; 1,004; 1,131)
Pat's - 1,855 (1,342; 1,599; 1,882)
Rovers - 2,000 (1,089 FD; 1,539; 1,349)
Sligo - 1,500 (1,806; 1,794 FD; 781 FD)
UCD - 1,195 (546; 653; 306 FD)
Waterford - 2,050 (915; 1,513; 1,753)

FIRST DIVISION
Athlone - 1,750 (421; 316; 291)
Cobh - 246 (368; 403; 240)
Dundalk - 2,500 (1,078; 474; 591)
Harps - 1,100 (428; 1,347 PD; 1,106)
Kildare - 250 (265; 186; 298)
Kilkenny - 150 (122; 185; 110)
Limerick - 934 (364; 669; 188)
Monaghan - 309 (204; 183; 182) (missing Kilkenny)
Shels - 1,734 (1,690 PD; 1,949 PD; 2,158 PD)
Wexford - 2,130 (n/a)

Premeir Division average - 2,030 (1,535; 1,759; 1,853)
First Division average - 1,126 (570; 520; 512)

Overall average - 1,622 (1,070; 1,195; 1,218)

FD is an average crowd in the First Division; PD is an average crowd in the Premier Division. I've only put that in where the attendances was when the club was in a different one to their current division.

Missing games -
Monaghan v Kilkenny

[LeixlipRed]

I'm just glad to see that Shels fans are FINALLY taking a stand on the really important issues!

The FAI told us they'd give us 4 quatros for every person we can get in the gate. These are the important issues. So my guess at the attendance would be c. 10,000. You could barely get your pint glass throwing arm from out beside your leg it was that packed. Though other estimates had under 2000 and Dave Crawley's massive cranium filling up the rest of the space

What are you talking about now?
Go to post #174, I told you how many were at the game and it was ignored. I made a further post on the subject and then clarified what I was talking about in a 3rd post.

there was no official figure given. ShelsW posted 1572 as paid in and 125 as freebies in the same thread. LeixlipRed went ahead and posted 1500 and now suddenly the 125 free are ignored. Is there anything you won't to to have a go at Shels remarkable stuff...

all I was attempting to do was clear it up
whiney rant or not, I'll leave you to it as I see you've ignored that facts again with your latest posting.

[pineapple stu]

You just posted a figure; you gave no back up or anything. I'm always going to take a figure from a club official over random guesstimates (or at least, what appear to be guesstimates) posted like that.

Crowd tonite - 1572

Yes - but not the centre door - which took in about another 125.

Shels were never so fussy about accurate figures in the past. Is the club issuing tickets yet or still letting the turnstile clickers work their magic?

Thank you for a non-ranty, backed-up post, Raheny. I'll have a look see what I did with this last year; basically want to make it consistent with the treatment for Galway last year. Although I think that was a case of someone posting the official attendance and other people saying there were way more than that, whereas here it's the person who posted the attendance amending his own figure, in which case I'll change it.

[Da Real Rover]

I think youll find True Blue is a wum from sligo who is barred of the gufc forum .Now go back and play with your rattle.

But i think someone just threw it out.

Was just asking a question, no need to get your knickers in a twist.

[higgins]

I backed it up..
I knew the crowd was 1700 and I said it. I'm sorry for not making a reference. I posted in total three times and the last one pointed out ShelsW ammended his own figure but you of course ignored it just because it came from 'higgins'.

Anyway how do you get to be a club official like ShelsW ?
He'll love that....

[Student Mullet]

I've missed these rows between Pineapple and Higgins.

Perhaps one of yee should open a thread about how the other's club doesn't deserve a place in the league?

[higgins]

I've missed these rows between Pineapple and Higgins.

I didn't..

I was enjoying my time away!
I thought when I first posted back here, there was little chance of starting anything, guess I was wrong..

I wandered into the new stand (a lot less security than City matches), where I could see all three occupied sides of the ground and counted 230ish. So I'd imagine that CBG wouldn't be far off the official figure.

[Stato]

1608 at Pats v Bray. About double the amount that came to the same fixture last season when it had to be moved to the Wednesday after Easter to accommodate a Ladies International match at Richmond Park

[oriel]

Reading 4 or 5 posts on the dundalk forum, 2,200 for the athlone game seems to be a figure most are happy with.

Where do you think the balls teams warming up with came from

2200 at the pats match imo
stand had about 400 empty seats so 1600 in there
Camac was near full about 500 there
Shed had 100 which swelled in 2nd half when Afri-Core band went in there
About 100 bray fans in stand and few more on camac side

So all in 2200

[trevy]

I'd say about 1300 at the RSC last night for Waterford United v Bohs.

[higgins]

About 200 in Kilkenny, if even!

awful crowd

[Risteard]

About 3,000 at the Cross I'd say.

[Buller]

1,400 guestimate at rovers v galway...
