No..... guesstimate?!
There was definately at least 1000 there deecay, we had the riverside open aswell incase you were barstoolin it at home. We get better crowds on the southside than we do up in tolka - pity ucd, pats or bray cant return the favour!

sounds exactly right if you take away the season ticket holders! add them to it and you get about 500 max I think! wasn't a good attendance at all

Ha,no I was at the game and I seen the 30 people the far side

About 1,200 at cobh tonight to see the worst officiating in history.....

Yeah would say about 350-400 at Station Road last night.

Don't think so....this is taken from RTÉ's match report...

Unfortunately for the cash-strapped Suirside club, the fans failed to answer repeated appeals for support and, on a beautiful, warm night, only 320 turned up including season-ticket holders.

Should have read all the threads before you posted blue-army, you're not helping to clear up the confusion, that's for sure.
It's already been well discussed that 320 was put about as an official figure, but that it was clearly not the full attendance figure. Most of the press people questioned it and came to the conclusion that it was the 'paid in' figure. The RTE lad didn't, obviously, or didn't change his copy accordingly.
However we're only arguing another hundred and fifty or so, and the point remains that, despite all the appeals for help and support, once again the 'football people' of Waterford have in no uncertain terms shown their contempt and disdain for the club. The people knocking the ****e out of themselves running WUFC have to start asking exactly who they're doing it for.

what? 1200? where? there were no more than 800 at tha game last nite.. even elevenaside.com says a small crowd 'Bray Wanderers ended a run of four straight defeats to record a 2-1 win over bottom of the table Cobh Ramblers on front of a small crowd at St Colman’s Park on Saturday evening.'

Still can't believe this crowd 320 people to turn for a game when pushing for promotion is terrible

v St.Pats there was 920, v Bray the attendance given to me was 805

Sporting Fingal vs Athlone Town. I didnt here an official attendance being given out but I would say 320 max

Cork City v St Pats reported as 3,940 official.

BTW at a meeting with patrons last week, Pats reported that attendances are up 13% on last year, and last year was up 6% on the year previous

I thought it was more like 4500 there last night, club probably playing it down for monetary reasons.

Poor crowd, I knew the stickfighting would hit us.

Well, depending of course on whether or not they're making a profit on it.

Used to be the case that for some reason, our attendances excluded season ticket holders, of which there are close to 1000.

btw, I think the official attendance at home to Drogs was higher (about 4 and a half thou, iirc).

A few of our games have been over 4k. Biggest was Bray

Last nights crowd looked quite big, but I think it was because of the nice weather. A few people chose to sit in the St Annes leaving spaces in the other stands.

Shed wasn't packed as it usually is if there's a bumper crowd.

Just under 4k isnt bad, though we should be getting higher, but I thought wed have less because of the hurling.

Glad to see we're such a big draw down there.
