eircom League 2007 Attendances

[sullanefc]

very poor crowd for City, we get better than that against Bray. Why so few?

1. Dublin V Cork (Hurling qualifiers - Saturday afternoon in Dublin).

2. Kerry V Cork (Munster Football Final on Sunday with many heading down for a night in Killarney the night before)

3. Intertoto not very important.

4. City 2-0 up from first leg and likely to go through anyway.

5. Worst summer (weatherwise) ever.

Take your pick from above.

[SeaniesRedArmy]

1,750 at our game v Longford no exact figure as our new turnstiles have still not arrived.

I would have thought there was about 1400-1500

[SeaniesRedArmy]

Rocketfingers thinks more you think less !

I got my figure off one of the officials Seanie as i have to annoy them to the hilt to get it mate. I did not find out the breakdown as to how many paid in etc but it even looked a decent crowd on the box tonight as well but hopefully the new turnstiles will in place in a couple of weeks.

Ya hopefully they will be there for the Galway game

Cobh v Monaghan

Unusually either the Echo or the Examiner report on this game gave the crowd as being 310. This must have come from an official source.

[holidaysong]

310 is shocking for a team with promotion hopes.

[sligoman]

Ah in fairness, let's be realistic, I'd say Mons are well out of the promotion chase now.

Pretty poor alright but maybe people went to the Derry League Cup game on Tuesday instead.

[Erstwhile Bóz]

What was the attendance for the Bohs-Cork LC game on Tuesday? Deadly atmosphere towards the end made it seem like the first few blocks of the Jodi was almost full but from the journos, beside whom I was, over to the Cork fans it only seemed half-full.

Can't find it on the Bohs website or anywhere. (If it is somewhere obvious, feel free to abuse and delete.)

1200 I heard

[sfc red]

Cork surely brought 4,000 alone.

[niftynigel]

A group of us popped over last weekend to see some matches. The attendances given on the site so far....

Shamrock Rovers v. Bohemians (4,206)

I estimated approx 4,500 so I can well believe the official figure.

Sligo Rovers v. Longford Town (1,271)

I asked the officials after the game and I was given an official figure of 1,271. As we all thought there was approx 1,300 - 1,400 there this figure does appear to be quite realistic!

Bray Wanderers v. Waterford United (???)

Everytime, I decided to go out and count the crowd, it chucked it down with rain! I know there were about 160 hardy souls scattered around the ground plus the covered seating area was just over half full. There are supposed to be 1,300 covered seats, so we are probably talking 850 in total?

Has anyone got an official figure for the Bray Wanderers game?

That's interesting. Figures here were in the region of 1600-1800.

[oriel]

As per Dundalk`s forum, 1,100 appears to be the agreed figure for Dundalk v Kildare last night.

[Comic Book Guy]

310 is shocking for a team with promotion hopes.

Disappointing no doubt but there were a number of factors;
1.Saturday afternoon k.o's have been bad for us crowd wise.
2.Cork hurlers playing at the same time.
3. Local junior club ran a blitz at the same time with upwards of 150 or more at that.
4. City playing at home later that evening put paid to the casual support from the city.
5.Cork City sports on that evening.

I guess it was a combination of all 5 that led to the crowd being so small.

[oriel]

what was the crowd for cobh v derry in lge cup - showed a clip of it on rte news with john robertson first game for derry - looked to be a decent crowd for that game

i`m sure cobh fans will come out in greater numbers for the second half of the season

[LeixlipRed]

I'd say at the most 700 at our game tonight. I'll go 650
