How many seats in the Showgrounds?

**red_away** · 09/08/2007, 12:21 PM

Can some one give me a break down of how many can be seated in the Showgies in total and what is the breakdown between the two stands?

The reason for my question is that if we are expecting a big crowd there seems to be disagreement afterwards about attendance and this would help accurate assess the numbers on saturday.

900 in blue stand and something like 1450 in red stand iirc.

The new stands capacity is now about 1700-1800. It has 1550 seats plus a bench up the back of the stand which was put in as a temporary measure for the Derry cup game but is still there. The original idea was also to install seats there as well to bring it up to 1800. Will probably happen if we ever make Europe.

Think the Jinks avenue side holds about 900. So around 2600-2700 in total including the bench.

900 blue. 1650 red, before bench seating went in. Probably over 100 more with the bench.

Officialy before the benchs it was 1550 in the new stand and 850 in Jinks.

Bench was a great idea, much better to sit on than the seats.

The blue stand has 853 seats but I don't know how many of the you can actually sit in. Wasn't their more seats but into the top end of the main stand too taking away the last walkway?
