2008 attendances

900 announced on the radio for Wateford v Wexford.

900!! not even close! try 1800! main stand about 700 new stand about 1100 would be my guess!!

What does your new stand hold. I'd estimate 1/3 full at best

There was definitely 1200 at the Wexford/Waterford game tonight.

Nowhere near on the new stand SPX, sadly, but ye're all right otherwise.
920 paid in through the gate Friday night, hence that number floating around. With season tickets and the first-child-free scheme the actual attendance was just over 1200, cigar for 5forkeeps.
The new stand had about 500 in it, maybe a smidge more, another cigar for oldyouth.

Seriously, Oldyouth is a year off the tipped cigars on 29th May. I had 6 sponsors tickets (thank you) for the extended family last night. Enjoyed the craic but the far stand was nearer Ferrycarrig Park than where we were sitting and had to be 1/3 full at best

It holds 1700-and-odd, and I made it a bit over 500 in there, does that not square with a third full at best? Don't make me take that cigar back!
(and fair play, may think about jacking them soon meself!)

Stu - what figure are you taking for the Dundalk v Shels game ?

[Battery Rover]

Not very good at judging crowds at away ground but would estimate about 140 at Kildare vs Athlone friday night. 30 plus of them from Athlone

Stu - what figure are you taking for the Dundalk v Shels game ?

Going to go with 2000; there's nothing up on the Dundalk website, and most seem to be in agreement at about 2000.

[Sam_Heggy]

Poor crowd in Finn Park tonight, roughly 1500 with about 50 Rovers fans.

[monutdfc]

Monaghan United v Dundalk 502 official
I guessed 350-400 so I am rubbish at estimates. I have since learned that my guess for the Sporting Fingal game was well under too.

[pineapple stu]

395 for UCD v Galway. About 15 Galway fans, including squad members. Still up 50% on the crowd last season.

[oldyouth]

I would guesstimate approx 650 at Youths V Lim 37 last night, with approx 630 going home very happy indeed

[sfc red]

905 announced at Shels v Kildare.

[Buller]

395 for UCD v Galway. About 15 Galway fans, including squad members. Still up 50% on the crowd last season.

Up 50%?! What was it last year? That crowd is really pathetic for a premier division match... was it really worse last year?
