Just for personal interest. Does anyone know Kildare's second highest figure?

**The Lilywhites** · 23/12/2008, 12:17 AM

True, with €10 still printed on the ticket.

**Dunny** · 23/12/2008, 1:49 AM

True but lads if they charged �25.00 in and if the game went the same way it still would of been worth it. That night was priceless

**Black and White** · 23/12/2008, 7:49 AM

Yeah but its the principle of it...they had no right to do that...bottom of the 1st division and charging bloody �15 in...didnt affect me i had a student card!!!lol but like was a disgrace esp with the bloody original �10 price stil printed on the ticket!!

Not the point....

Have we come to final definitive (as we'll ever be) figures on the 2008 season that can be committed to the archives?

Your work is vastly underappreciated pineapple! Kinda like pliny the elder mappin the world thousands of years ago for the craic, to be treated like sacred manuscript in human development for thousands of years after lol

**pineapple stu** · 13/02/2009, 2:09 PM

It's as is. I sent it on to www.EUropean-Football-Statistics.co.uk, but they haven't updated for 2008 yet.

Nice analogy though!

Let's let old threads die, eh?

at least 2,000 maybe?

to be honest...i think we will get well over 3,500 v bohs
(well if it's the 1st game)
even so anytime during season versus bohs,rovers,drogheda,derry should get a huge crowd(at least 3,000 for them games)
if not i would be surprised as our attendances will well bounce new era and we well have the support it's second to none

**dannydundalk** · 15/02/2009, 11:37 PM

well the tv gantry is above the shed

which won't show us

but it will show the stand and the away support...i also don't know how you will be able to hear the commentators for llive games with the noise that the shed will create

we are back lads
and no problem celtic tiger

My god but Dundalk fans dont half love themselves. Which is just laughable really!

**Dunny** · 16/02/2009, 7:28 AM

Since when does he speak on behalf of all Dundalk fans?? Cop onto yourself..

**dannydundalk** · 16/02/2009, 8:29 PM

fair assessment there celtic tiger

**holidaysong** · 16/02/2009, 8:38 PM

You're being very optimistic in my opinion.

The RSC was a morgue last year, Waterford vs. Fingal won't break 1,000 never mind 1,500. Shels rarely breached 1,000 last season, especially not against Wexford. I'd be happy with 2,500 - 3,000 for the Dundalk game, I really doubt it'll reach 3,500.

And finally, 1,000 people at Longford - Monaghan!??!

**oriel** · 16/02/2009, 8:51 PM

Interesting estimates, I was just looking at the premier games for the kick off earlier and I was thinking, all of those look like they could attract around 3,000.

Holiday, I think a little harsh on shels there, they got very close to 1,000 last season in a lot of games. Waterford were poor though. We need to careful about ourselves this season, fans wont automatically flock into oriel, we`ll need to put on decent consistent displays to maintian our fanbase, and we wont be winning anything near as much as we did last year, well certainly no more 7-0 scorelines !

We got just over 1000 against Wexford the last time we played them so I wouldnt rule out getting 1000 fans in this time. Maybe im being optimistic though.

St Pats v Galway = 2,500
Sligo v Cork = 3,000

Average = 2,800

First Division
Mervue v Athlone = 1,000?(hard to guess)
UCD v Limerick = 600
Shelbourne v Wexford =1,000
Waterford v Fingal = 1,500
Kildare v Harps = 500
Longford v Monaghan = 1,000

Average = 933

They seem fairly accurate but i'd say we would get, at the most, 2500-2700
