2008 attendances

[DmanDmythDledge]

At least I'd an excuse to be there drowning my sorrows..

Damn right only getting 7 against Athlone.

[L37Ultra]

wasn't a bad attendance for the match that was in it. just a pity Limerick couldn't finish with a win.

Ya it was a very good attendance considering the weather, a nothing match etc.. but it was such a poor way to end what was such a brilliant unbeaten run.

Damn right only getting 7 against Athlone.

Or the result in Waterford...

[srfc1928]

I'd say about the same. The Rovers pitch invasion/flare usage is sure to get a fine. All the more pointless for them given 50-80 of their 'fans' were in the bar under the main stand until five minutes before the final whistle.. At least I'd an excuse to be there drowning my sorrows..

i was in the pub beside The Showgrounds last week just before the Rovers v shams match, spurs were playing liverpool and after the game the shams fans in the pub were signing spurs songs etc. they were really into it, i was surprised and a little bit disappointed at their passion for another team. i left a couple of minutes before kick off, they were still in the pub watchin arry rednapp talkin

Dundalk v Athlone 2,085 according to www.dundalkfc.com

2,085 Is this our first official crowd of the season ? its the first ending with an odd number ? I`d agree with in and around 2,000 as both sides looked well packed, the shed even more than last week and a lot more behind the town goal, but the 85 is still a bit baffling

Another person who doesn't get the concept of averages!! Where do they come from?

Derry's attendances are boosted by two crowds of 6800 against Harps (or at least, that's what they're in as). Take those out, and Derry's average drops from 3300 to 2800, or 10% below Cork's crowds, which are much more even. In other words, Derry's average is higher than Cork's, but Cork haven't been getting 10% less than Derry all season. In fact, on seven occasions have Cork gotten higher than Derry's best non-Harps figure, and that could be more when you consider Cork give official figures whereas Derry's are guesstimates.

I understand averages. You don't understand English....

Our average crowd across the season is given as 10% higher than Cork's average across the season. We're talking averages. End of story.

Within that we have average-boosting games, but so do Cork. We're talkng averages here - so individual spikes are merely footnotes.

Not anywhere near as much as Cork though. As indicated by the fact that seven of Cork's attendances beat your third best crowd. For an across-the-season calculation, you want to factor in standard deviation, when Cork beat youz hands down. So to say Cork have been getting "10% less than Derry all season" is patently untrue. But given you think 4=8, I won't expect you to understand maths that complicated.

About 700 at Pat's v UCD tonight.

Election Night was on Wednesday morning.

[Terry]

2790 iirc at Terryland tonight.

thought it was 2980 that was said myself?

[Youths4Ever]

what was the attendance in Waterford last night?

[trevy]

Stann might have the official attendance but I'd say somewhere between 900and 1000 at the RSC with a few hundred of them Shels fans who went home happy.

[Olander]

fair play to finn harps fans.

there was probably 250-300 of them in terryland lastnight

[higgins]

What attendance figure was put in for the Shels v Sporting Fingal game ?

[stann]

Attendance was slightly over 1000, that's from the official figure source, but he didn't have the exact figure to hand when I was talking to him. Will try to find out later.

[sligoman]

Very poor crowd at the Cross, about 60/70 of which were Rovers. Shocking weather.

[christo]

542 poor souls at a dull Limerick V Kildare tonight

Thought it was quite a good match myself

Stu - you're excelling even your own good self at nonesense here...

Averages exist to give a figure over time that deliberately evens-out peaks and troughs.

Within that, City have a better average attendance than Cork. We also, as you've alluded to, have had the top two best attended games in the entire league this year. Most normal people would be happy to accept that those stats suggest that we have the biggest support in the league.

You may think having seven games higher than our third best attendance (WTF ?!?) is an achievement worthy of mention, but I doubt many others care. Hows' about the stat that really matters - we had two games with a higher attendance than every other club in the league...

[sligored]

can you post an update stu

[Green&whitearmy]

i'd say about 1100 at the bray drogheda match on friday, could be corrected on that now, and what was up with the 20 or so drogs kids trying to get at the bray fans, it was funny watching it.
