Saw the goals from the Bohz game on tv last night. 5 class goals and 2 of the better saves I've seen for a while in the eL. I cant believe that there was only 5,550 at the game, it looked packed, unless of course there was no one sitting in the main standIt must ahve been a class match, the football looked really good from both teams.
As I say, we're just young & a bit nieve.
I thought the 5.5k was a bullcrap estimate too I'd say nearer 6.5k.Originally posted by Troy.McClure

The capacity is 7.5k isnt it?
Oh no not them again
I'm glad someone else thinks that the 5.5K number is suspect.
There was a reported 6,000 at the Pat's game, yet the St. Anne's End was almost empty. On Tuesday St. Annes was at least 3/4 full. Now for both games, the Donie Ford, Shed End and the other stand had more or less the same number of punters, so if you add the extra people at the St. Annes end, there must have been more...
that's assuming the 6k figure for pats is accurate.
i reckon there was a little over 4k at pats, and a little under 5k at bohs
Capacity is apparently 7000.
1800 in main stand.
1000 odd in the derrynane.
3000 odd at the st annes end?
1000-1500 in the shed & other standing areas?
Stand & Derrynane sides have been 80% full for both games.
I would have guessed 4500-5000 & 6000 for each game.
Nah .... Joe you fall short there fella i'd say.Originally posted by joe

I was going to say that i took a few pics of the Annes end in the second half for Pats and it was fairly full ( i know it wasn't in the first)
But it looked to be a bit more in the Bohs, i would have given it 6,000 as the stand was a bit more full aswell for Bohs.
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.
i dunno, i think st. anne's was the only real difference between the two, so say for both games
1,600 in the donie forde (1,800 capacity)
1,000 in the derrynane (1,200 capacity)
1,000 in the shed + standing - the shed wasn't really packed for either game
which gives about 3,600
add in st. anne's for st pats - i 'd say there wasn't 1,000 up there, giving <4,500
and bohs there was maybe 1,500 up there, giving 5,000 max
???
Uimhir ??
Jebus .... that aint very generous with de ole numbers
What did the club say though ??

remember as well that theyre are a large amount of people who like 'standing around the place'
i.e. front of the shed sides and top of st annes and at the corners of donie ford and shed.
theyre bloody wierdos if ya ask me .
The club will always try and keep the official numbers at the lowest possible even though its not great for publicity. The obvious reason for this is money as their is a % for the away team, league etc....
Remeber Brian Lennows argument with I think Finn Harps in the cup a few years ago. They said their was fcuk all at the game when there was obviously more and city wouldnt sign the release.
The away team gets nothing from the gate in a league game since they play eachother both home and away.Originally posted by Soko

The gate is split for cup games only.
For tax purposes it would probably make sense to keep the numbers down.
Have Boot Disk, will travel
I think clubs are now supposed to charges VAT on entrance tickets. No idea if any clubs do it though.Originally posted by Peadar

Think also that season tickets are exempt from VAT as are basically club membership dues.
Are you sure about your numbers joe? I know I wasnt there, but the Shed looked packed on tv, and there was no way that there were 200 (or 1 in 6) empty seats in the Derrynane stand.
Either way, it was a huge turn out considering that the Pats game would nearly put me off going to the X, let alone a casual suporter + there was a Champions League quarter-final on the telly at the same time and Bohs probably didnt bring down many fans (bloody small clubs!)

they're just my estimates!Originally posted by Troy.McClure
