We're not arrogant, we're just better.
The Irish Times gave the figure at 14,???. I remember the 14k anyway.

And how much does the RDS hold?
Cmon County!
Maybe 12-15k although not sure what the capacity after redevelopment work. 15k would be plenty for any of the teams left. Tolka is a dump but probably best option if the RDS not available as most combinations of teams would struggle to fill it.
Official attendnace was listed as 10,000. But those were the days before the FAI started going 'oh alright then...' and giving proper and accurate attendance figures.
Was a very poor crowd though. Not only were the upper tiers of Lansdowne closed off, but they also sectioned off the back of the the lower tiers to make the crowd sit to the front and have the place look busier.....!
That crowd nearly killed the concept of finals at Lansdowne. Luckily Cork-Drogs made up for it the following year.
RDS is looking good, will post up a pic in a few of how it looks now.

We had an appalling turnout up at it, 3000 tops. Not our finest hour as a county.Was a very poor crowd though. Not only were the upper tiers of Lansdowne closed off, but they also sectioned off the back of the the lower tiers to make the crowd sit to the front and have the place look busier.....!

Still in fairness there was an Arsenal-Man U game on the box the same day.
(sarcastic rage there, a difficult one to pull off)

more bass
I thought I heard a figure of about 7500 for that Longford-Waterford game?
There's other points about the Cup Final though. Like did the FAI not have the RDS booked? Why have they now been turfed out? Leinster aren't playing. There's nothing in particular on the RDS website.
Also, what if players have booked holidays? Are we going to have an FAI Cup Final where one team is missing their best player because of a holiday booked before this (relatively short notice) change?
Like a certain UCD player...
I just hope the weather isnt the same as last year for thos attending. Also AFAIK there was around 12,000 down from Derry for the final
The stand along the pitch will have a roof.

If Cork City and Bohemians are kept apart and make the final then there is no option but to play it in the RDS as there would be a crowd of around 15-20,000 attending. Tolka, Dalymount, Richmond, anywhere else wouldn't simply do. I don't see what the big deal is.
Stann, come off it man. Its not Anti-Waterford. Would you have singled me of as being Anti Waterford before that post? I'm serious, the organisation going into that game was brutal, it was a quarter final and if it were possible you would have had 2000 at that game. It was a disaster and i'm not having a dig at you lot here.
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
But what did you expect to be done? And by whom?

Croke Park anyone?
Cmon County!
Ya great attendance that year. 25,000 apparentlyOfficial attendnace was listed as 10,000. But those were the days before the FAI started going 'oh alright then...' and giving proper and accurate attendance figures.

Heard it was 17,000 city supporters and 8000 drogs.
Not sure how accurate that was but there was a great crowd for city considering the distance.
Just a pity about the result!!

low lie the fields of Bishopstown......
I thought it was about even myself, can't imagine it was close to 2:1 Cork fans.

No there was definitely more city fans there alright, id say maybe more 15,000 / 10,000 though really.
