2008 attendances

[manic da hoop]

H&S? There's more seats than that though isn't there?

Yeah, but if you ask me it can barely cope with crowds over 4,000 as it is. Complete dump.

If you don't like it **** off. Oh wait no one else will take you

Actually, I think its a very nice ground.

Have updated the previous update for Rovers v Bohs (4300), Pat's v Derry (2900) and Fingal v Dundalk (1000). Will presumably get official figures for the latter two in due course.

Shels are very glad to take our money. Looking forward to seeing how you begin coping without that source of income from 2009 onwards. Sorry if the truth hurts, but the place is falling apart and you know it.

[LeixlipRed]

Never indicated the place isn't falling apart. But as I said, if it's such a dive than you can gladly move elsewhere.

[monutdfc]

OT, but what are Shel's plans for a ground in the medium term? When do they have to move out of Tolka (notwithstanding that the current property slowdown might delay things) and where do they plan to go then?

Ouch. Goodbye Galway...


717 at UCD-Drogheda, although I would have given an extra 100 or so.

Well 500 odd less than last season so we might as well pack it in now and go home.

Rubbish, a new coach one or two players and a couple of wins and the place will be rocking again. Rugby season's nearly over as well so less local competition on match night...

We're six games into the season ffs.....

I was being slightly sarcastic/drunk. But 500 times E20 is E10k lost in one match, which you lost badly (by all accounts), which means the trend's unlikely to reverse next match anyway. Given you lost E80k last year, you can't afford to be going down E10k a match really.

Dundalk V Waterford approx 1,800 as per

I though it was a little less than this.

When we played ye up there last year, it was a tuesday and there were oer 3000 there.

how many ucd fans were there do you reckon ?

[pineapple stu]

Impossible to tell really. Assuming everyone went in the ends they were supposed to, then I'd say about 400/300 UCD/Drogheda. But I didn't get a proper look at the stand to see how full it was and where.

[Schumi]

Assuming everyone went in the ends they were supposed to.

Looked that way when Drogheda scored, very clear dividing line between people cheering and not. How many were on each side I don't know but our side of the roofed area was pretty full.
