2008 attendances

[paul_oshea]

Jeez, half of this thread could be deleted, and for the record, there was 15,000 at Finn Park on friday night and only 2 of them were from Cobh.

are you for real?!

[Sam_Heggy]

are you for real?!

Sorry I forgot a zero It was 150,000 of an attendance.

[Lim till i die]

My guess for the Monaghan- Limerick game was about 120-150. Extremely poor. About 25 of those were Limerick fans

There is absolutely no way there was 150 at that game.

One of the lads counted 39 in the stand at kick off.

Add in people in the bar and people at the sideline and it's 100 tops.

[jebus]

About a 100 at Monaghan alright, I thought there was more than 25 of us though? Not much more, but about 30-35? Still though, they have the infrastructure lads

[pineapple stu]

Out of a total crowd of less than 700?

Susprised at you of all people Dodge, paying attention to a random figure like that.

Update after week one; just waiting on St Pat's v Sligo to be confirmed.

[forza rovers]

we had about 280-330 supporters with us

[KevB76]

About a 100 at Monaghan alright, I thought there was more than 25 of us though? Not much more, but about 30-35? Still though, they have the infrastructure lads

Yeah, 100 just about. There were 16 of us, dont think there were any more (not counting any L37 officials).

[Sunny Jim]

Wexford - 1,626 (810)

Stu,

The official attendance for Wexford was 1,826.

[stann]

Thanks for the positive feedback, but I would have to question 700 away fans there. The whole stand only holds 600 and WD had a quarter of that with others scattered around the side of the pitch. I'd say 300 in total. Kildare up next and you're right, that'll tell us what we should expect as typical

I thought we had nearer half the stand to be honest, judging by the reaction to the goals, most of the stand side of the pitch, and a good few at the clubhouse end I'm told. Might have been just a touch over the top with 700 alright , but I'd say I recognised more than 300 people there individually.
That's beside the point though, it was a great home turn-out that I hope holds up for ye. Should do too, ye already look a much better side than last season.

Sunny Jim, I would have said there was a few more there even, up towards 2000. How many season ticket holders have ye?

[oldyouth]

Cheers Stann,

It doesn't really matter what the split was, as there were two sets of supporters making up a good crowd enjoying The Beautiful Game. The way the wind was blowing, we didn't really hear much of your songs but yez looked as if you were enjoying it.
Now I want an honest answer here, seeing that you said you recognised at least 300 of your lads at the game. Did any of you buy a pink shirt to bring home???

[ForzaWexford]

Stu, I reported the figure of 1626 from the match report I read on extratime. 1826 was the official attendance reported. Sorry.

Not to go off topic, but heard we sold 140 pink jerseys at the match, so perhaps 1 or 2 made their way back down the Ross road!

[pineapple stu]

OK; changed now. Cheers.

[Candystripe]

1748 away fans at Windsor park.

About the same home fans.

[Sunny Jim]

Sunny Jim, I would have said there was a few more there even, up towards 2000. How many season ticket holders have ye?

I couldn't tell you. I live over 110 miles from the ground so I'm not exactly inside the loop. My season ticket number was 45 so I'd guess around 100. I'm sure someone else on here knows the exact figure.

Also I understand that season ticket holders weren't counted in the official attendance figure so you're probably right.

[Mr_T]

Finn Harps FC have confirmed an official attendance of 1,961 for the club's opening Premier Division match against Cobh Ramblers.

The club are pleased with the level of support given that the atrocious weather conditions may have deterred fans from travelling across the county to the game.

The club hope these levels of support from the fnas of the Northwest will continue and increase as the season progresses

Harps have announced an official figure, I believe the figure Mr A gave on our forum excluded season ticket holders. Hopefully the club will continue to publish the official figures from now on.

Oh i always pay attention...

Just surprised that they had such a high percent of the crowd.

My previous number did not include season ticket holders apparently.

[pineapple stu]

FACT!

[neutrino]

about 300+

There was nowhere near 300 of us in richmond park. I'd put it at 100-150 max. No point guessing crowds if just going to exaggerate them.

Last I heard, there were 75 individual season tickets issued. Also 2 corporate tickets are offered for sponsors and I know one of them is in the 120's.
