2008 attendances

[Patrick Dunne]

Galway United vs Bohemian FC - 1,324

[einnoks]

Finn Harps - Cobh Ramblers (22 August)
My savant abilities allowed me to approximate the attendance to 893. But here's the thing, at the start of the second half, there was more like 1247. Ok, the originally published 8pm kick-off was totally disregarded in favour of a 7.45pm TG4 kick-off. But, I mean, where were the 354 other mucks for the first half? Does Croker Syndrome happen anywhere else in the league?

p.s...in fairness, a huge portion of late arrivals generally seem to be pre-pubescent children...what was it Alan Hansen said that time....?

"Stay on your own side!, Garry Glitter has just arrived at Heathrow!"

Otherwise it's a good crowd for the actual fixture.....hope your beat Derry City again (don't tell me mates).


I don't have an Official attendance figure for UCD v. Derry City but complaints during the UCD Bowl planning application about noisy LoI supporters were justified.

CCFC V Bray 3795 official attendance

CCFC V Bray 3795 official attendance

And the actual number of bodies is probably 100/200 lower as many season ticket holders (myself included) bought a ticket as-well.

[deecay]

Pats v Rovers anymore,the shed and half the carmac was closed

[SMorgan]

newstalk, dundalk fm and LMFM also agreed on this estimate. decent crowd

They all may agree, but I think they are all quoting the same estimate. It would be great if there were 2,000 at the game. However, as far as i'm concerned there were 1,700, absolute tops.

Nope, you`re a bit out here smorgan, 2 days after the game approx 2,000 was also reported on www.dundalkfc.com - usually i would go along with under estimates, but this was a game where thjere was clearly a large crowd up. stand holds 1,300, 3/4 full (= over 900) and at least 3 or 4 hundred over the ground, as for the shed this had almost 1,00 packed in. take a look at the video on dfctv there is also a large amount on the away terrace and outside the bar

Stu - its your call but i think 1,700 is not an accurate figure hence above breakdown

[bohs til i die]

PREMIER DIVISION
Bohs - 2,199 (2007 - 1,924; 2006 - 1,463; 2005 - 1,976; 2004 - 2,340) (missing Cobh)

All the Bohs attendances are posted on our forum by me, taken from the programme

[Battery Rover]

Athlone Town vs Limerick 37 official attendance 146

[Straightstory]

I wonder if we're getting close to a time when NOBODY will turn up for a game. A possible fixture next year - UCD v Kildare in the First division - could go close. Look out for it. Could be some kind of record, anyway.

I'll go with what's on the official website; I know it's not an accurate figure, but I'd hope it's a vaguely reliable source (!), and it's the figure I've been using all the way through with minimal complaints, so I'll keep with that for consistency. People will complain it's not official or is not questionable, but that's why we're highlighting clubs with official figures.

UCD v Kildare last time out got about 250-300, incidentally.

[DmanDmythDledge]

I think 828 was the crowd for Shels-Longford.

Athlone Town vs Limerick 37 official attendance 146

well done C on being honest and upfront. We've gone to clubs this year with a quarter that total and then seen 250 posted up as attn.

I didn't think all season tickets sold at the start of the season are counted in every game.
The season tickets are scanned on entry the same as ordinary tickets are so the announced attendance should be the actual number of bodies at the game, no matter what kind of ticket was used to get in.

We have no reason to give false figures on attendances. All figures given by me on this thread so far this season are 100%

[WindmillWarrior]

1,800 or so at Drogs v Rovers

And I'd say there wasn't much more than 1,000 at last nights Bohs v Drogs game

Another big crowd for the Derry - Harps game tonight, around 6000 but maybe the Derry fans will give a better idea.
Fantastic atmosphere too.
