That figure represents paying customers only so it doesnt include season/concession ticket holders. There was another 150-200 standing around.

Approx 1400 there.

According to 11-a-side there was a "large" crowd.

I thought that was a 'large' crowd for us

Rain had everyone in the stand so crowd would have looked better from there anyway about 200 in the stand and twenty outside along the perimeter.

Are freebies included in official attendances?

I heard during the week that the GAA gave out 15,000 free tickets for last weekends Railway Cup (Interprovincial Finals) but the official attendance was 10,000.

GAA attendances give the figure that actually turned up (no. of tickets scanned at turnstiles). The 55,000 Cyprus game seems to show that the FAI are now following the policy (seeing as tickets sold should have been closer to the Germany attendance and there were quite a few no-shows). The old Lansdowne road figures, where the attendance was nearly always exactly 34,000 people showed that the FAI didn't care too much about announcing the correct number.

For LOI attendances, who knows

Its hard to know what should be included in the official figures when the FAI don't release them. IMO, the attendance figure should cover everyone who actually attended the game (including freebies but not including season ticket holders who didn't go).

Everybody who enters the ground should be included in the attendence figure whether they had a free ticket or not.

Thought 1000-1100 too, can't understand the figure of less than 900.

Cobh v Monaghan 1500 attendance.

My estimate would be about 2200 but the Harps lads would know there ground a lot better

**Sam_Heggy** · 04/11/2007, 10:12 PM

Haven't asked about the attendance yet but my guess would be around 2500.

Radio reports had the attendance at 1800 for Cobh, their highest attendance all season

We were disappointed with our attendance.

There is close to 1500 heading to Kilkenny. (well there was before friday, id say the majority still heading)
