2008 attendances

[Candystripe]

Didn't Derry's chairman say that all this talk of them getting 3000/4000 attendances was a load of cack and they actually get about 1500 for games?

He also said there were only 3,500 at the Harps game. Most people reckoned there were 6,000.

We have over 1,600 season ticket holders.

So 1,600 + 1,500 =3,100

[Candystripe]

Our Cobh/Rovers double programme had all our attendances for outr home games this season, and thats down as 2,395.


According to the programme, our crowds this season:
St. Pats - 4,105
Finn Harps - 1,869
Bray - 1,720


Derry City - 2,775




Dundalk (LC) - 674
Cork City - 1,822
Galway Utd - 1,496
Sligo Rovers - 1,718
Drogheda Town (FAI) - 1,361
Rhyl (Int) - 1,342
FK Riga (Int) - 2,395
UCD - 1,286

So apart from the Pats derby your biggest crowd was V Derry!

I'm not on your forum but would you post that on there as I've read that we don't even bring a 100 down even though for that particular game we had 11 supporters clubs travel for it. We estimated that we had between 400-500 at it.

Thankyou.

About 2,400 @Derry V Rvrs. Heavy rain all day didn't help.

Summer football me arse.

It's autumn now anyway.

Reckon about 800 at UCD-Pat's. Will chase the official figure though.

[pineapple stu]

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

Curiously, I have youz up 6% this year and 42% the previous year, and it's pretty much entirely official figures for 2006 to 2008.

Guesstimate of about 1700 for Bohs-UCD. Bohs seem to have stopped putting official figures in their programme.

1286 official; just goes to show how wrong guesstimates can be!

Shows also that you can take unofficial figures here with a huge pinch of salt.

Anyway, update after the last few games cos I've missed a bit... Clubs who give official figures are in bold.

[pateen]

Season ticket holders aren't included in that 2,000 figure.

Which would have a figure of 3,300 about 300 too low.

[Mr A]

I believe the crowd at the Harps game was probably a lot closer to the Star figure to be honest. It was a good night and there was a fair few people spread over the Town End Terrace and the gantry side of the pitch.

[pateen]

Galway Vs. Derry anyone?

[Patrick Dunne]

GUFC vs Derry City

1,048

Are you presuming all season ticket holders attended?

[mrtndvn]

Are you presuming all season ticket holders attended?

I'm presuming that people who have a season ticket payed for it therefore payed entry into the match.

Which in my eyes is good enough to be accounted for as attendance.
