eircom League 2007 Attendances

[Conor H]

The goals were in the 1st minute.There was vast amounts of people still waiting to get in outside and quite a number missed the goals.
There was only about 1000 people in the ground 10 minutes before kick off.

You'll find if you watch EL weekly the next night the stand will be alot more full.

Of course you would have noticed this aswell-you're chip on the shoulder with UTD is incredible.
Anyone who doesn't believe me have a look at our forum.

The goals were in the 1st minute.

Apart from the one in the 17th minute...

The ground did fill up after kick off, I agree, but the stand is still fairly empty for the third goal.

That's the old stand.
The new stand which holds 1700 was pretty much full.
There was about 200 kids not accounted for and about 5-600 in the old stand and behind the goals in the Clubhouse end.

[pineapple stu]

1500 seats, not 1700.

I was in the old stand looking across to the new, and it was not pretty much full. Two thirds tops. Plenty of gaps; bits of the letters sticking out all over.

[Conor H]

Stu how do you think we would have made up the figure juts out of curiosity?
Also-how come you never hear other away fans disputing the attendances(bar Limerick)?
It wouldn't have anything to do with your well known dislike for GUFC?
Also how many fans did ye bring last night?

Quite a few fans of other clubs commented on how there seemed to be less in the ground than was given as your attendence, I remember you getting quite lippy with some of them. Great thing about selective memories I suppose

[pineapple stu]

Are you asking me how you would have made up a number?

Or is it my guesstimate? I would have said 1000 in the new stand, 500 in the old going on that camerawork, and 200 around the ground.

I'm just curious as to where everyone was. Your explanation has been shot down. I thought the figure was high when it was announced at the game, and having seen that the stand was a lot emptier than I realised. You can rant away if you want, or you can enter a grown up debate.

[Conor H]

Jebus,what a surprise that you've come into this thread....another member of the obsession with GUFC Club.
No point of argueing with you.It'll just go round in circles.Best of Luck next season.

Everyone was in the ground stu.
there was considerably more than 1000 in the new stand and at least 7-800 in the old stand....with around 400 scattered around the ground.
The attendances are official-there is no debate.You're wrong.

Scroll back a page there deary, the massive fans brought Limerick into the equation on this one, namely geezer this time, as you lot normally do. Obsessed indeed, still selective memories I suppose

So you're saying -

• The new stand was more than 2/3rds full, even though it had plenty of gaps? Don't believe that.
• The old stand (1400 capacity) was well over half full? The pictures show that to be highly doubtful.
• 400 standing? Again, the video shows that to be highly doubtful, insofar as you can see. No-one standing in front of the old stand (accounted for in the main stand figure), about 75 behind the goal the third goal goes into?

Yes.

Again
-pictures in 1st minute and of Old Stand.
The attendance was/is accurate.

First Saturday night in for a while and i spend it like this.I'm sad!

[jebus]

surprised you're still here conor, I thought you'd be safely tucked away at galwaynet ranting about yours truly, starting another poll about me, or trying to pick me out of photos of Limerick supporters. Obsession indeed. The really sad thing Conor is that all of that is true and has already happened!!

[gufct]

Stu the reason you couldnt see how many people were in the old stand is because there was no lights in it and all our hardcore who make the noise have moved to Section C & D where the majority actually stand at the back.

Im involved in the running of match nights in Terryland for over 20 years and I thought there was closer to 2,500 in the ground and yes we attempt to count everyone that enters the ground for Health & Safety records. You will be glad to know we will actually have a bar code system for all season tickets next year so we wont have to rely on your tremendous mathematical brain.

You were slating our mascot for upsetting your subs at half time and the cheek of our players for actually contesting the game last night and not letting ye win on our forum here and its great to see that other mathematical genius jebus who slate us every chance he gets joins in. Most fans that come to terryland have commented on the ground improvements and how big our crowds were but all you can do is criticise and call us liars get a life id say most UCD fans are embarrased by your posts today.

[Conor H]

Actually it was a poll about the most annoying poster on foot.ie
You were 1st(i think) and Pineaplle Stu 2nd-what a coincidence.

But yes you are obsessed.Goodnight.

And the photos Conor? What about when you went searching the internet for photos of Limerick fans so you could try and find out who I was

And wouldn't you have won except you didn't accept that the amount of people who voted for where doing so because they actually find you annoying

It's a sad life indeed Conor

[Rovers fan]

Superfrank, Idont know where you got 800-1000, the covered stand was more or less full and there was a pretty good crowd behind the goal. I'd would have said between 1300-1400 at the game.

Ya i would have thought there was at least 1200 at the game.

[rebelarmyexile]

my estimate for the CorkVBohs final about 5000ish. anything more precise?

[sligoman]

Oh christ such a thread, Galway and UCD arguing ffs. Who gives a ****e what the attendance given here is? It's not as if the thread has any real signifigance anyway.

[pineapple stu]

Got Galway into the Premier, didn't it?
