eircom League 2007 Attendances

**pineapple stu** · 29/04/2007, 7:05 PM

Has 1500 for Limerick (agrees to here), 1250 for Kilkenny (going to put that in instead of the 1000 here) and that's it as far as I can see.

323 is simply wrong, official or not. If official attendances don't include everyone at the game, they're useless.

But there's no point comparing our unofficial crowds to, say, Pat's official crowds. You have to choose one or the other, otherwise it's not a fair comparison. I've no bother upping our figure to the amount that were at the game, but then we have to go back over all the official figures and change those too.

Also I`m remember many a sunday watching pats v dundalk in the 80`s in both harolds cross and the old richmond with 5 or 6 hundred in attendance being the norm.

I was in Harold Cross, pats verus Rovers early ninties and a crowd off about 300 hundred was there. Tom the Baldie Conway scored for Rovers game ended one one.

Official Attendance 894

About 30 Limerick fans

**Battery Rover** · 30/04/2007, 9:19 AM

Athlone Town vs Finn Harps attendance was around 450. Nice crowd from Harps down as well. Hope they enjoyed their trip.

As it was confirmation day on both sides of town on Saturday this would have taken a few hundred of the crowd

Will post the official attendance when I hear it during the week.

What's happening with your floodlights. Any update ? A 6pm kick off on a Saturday is not a great time to be playing. It's bound to effect your attendances.

**dcfcsteve** · 30/04/2007, 12:16 PM

City v Bohs apparently 2,700 in attendance.

**braysnumber1** · 30/04/2007, 12:56 PM

bray v galway- brutal crowd for a brutal match- 800 tops - with about 30 galway fans who made a bit of noise...

Did you not read through the thread earlier?

**Conor H** · 30/04/2007, 8:21 PM

My Sentiments exactly Frank...

Also there was 53 Galway fans in the "singing" Section.

There was also 2 families and a few others down the far left of the red seated stand.
Around 65-70 in Total.

They'll be sorted for the next home game-May 12th Vs. Cork.

Shocked by the crowd at Bray.I know 800 was posted here but id be very surprised if it was over 650. Like our game against Shams fair less at it than our 1st division encounters.

On a brighter note the Pitch was brilliant so credit to all at Bray easily the best we have played on so far but its surroundings lets it down big time.

**Saint Tom** · 01/05/2007, 7:05 PM

both sides of camac bursting, the shed more packed than it has been in years. allow one empty block in the stand and a fair few on the inchicore end and 3200 odd is ridiculous. I went in at 7.30 and they did not check a single tcket under the archways, have both the stub and ticket in my pocket.

check out the video of the game on another thread to verify

Eh what?

Pats have problems with their ticketing no doubt. 4,000 seems about right.

**pete** · 04/05/2007, 10:17 AM

Only saw a bit of Cork City v Pats on tv this morning & while could not see the main stand clearly enough I would guess attendance about 3000-3500.

Moving game forward a day must have knocked 1000-2000 off the total.
