there has been up to 8000 in the ground, the play-off against harps when we stayed up, also a few cup games in the early 90,s. the 83 cup games were played in the lodge, so them attendances dont count.
the ground has lost capacity due to seating but the final phase of development will see a huge stand being built at the clubhouse end holdin up to 2000 ppl.

I remember the play off game v Harps and though the crowd was big, I don't recall it being bigger than any other big match we've had?? Certainly not even close to half the 8,000 you mentioned methinks??

Regards to tickets. I thought the fact that the matches had to be all ticket ruled out any dishonesty? Nobody can pay cash at the gate now, you have to purchase a ticket so that it can be registered and recorded so if they say 900 then I'd imagine that was accurate other than the freebies and corporate stuff.

Yes, no VAT on tickets. The only reason not to declare income is for under the count cash payments to players because football clubs don't make profits.

It is also possible that you don't have a means of counting season ticket holders as no ticket stub?

as i said lads im not sure. imo there was far more than 900 at that game, even hendo and the interviewer on the big red bench said it. at the end of the day only 12 to 15 thousand ppl live in cobh. that is tiny in comparison to citys minimum of 200,000. if we get even 2000 at a game thats 1 in 7 at the game, pretty good percentage.

it has been said by club members tat the ground has been filled, i remember another game against dundalk in QF of fai cup where hansome bob scored but we lost 2-1 and the ground was full.

Colmans Park capacity 8,000?

Thats some imagination! Cobhs record attendance is 3,000 V Cork City the last time ye were in the premier.

About 2,500 of those came down from the City, so a touch of reality is needed in this thread!

tats absolute ********, ye city folks sud come down off yert high horses. ye spend yer time talkin yerselfs up and talkin everyone else down. i hope the lads take ye down a peg or two on the 29th. i remember tat game as ye were the bishopstown bogtrotters, u need a sense of reality if you think only 500 cobh ppl went to tat game, also do you remember the score of tat game, we beat ye then aswell after all yer talk.
i acknowledge tat ye brought down a lot tat day, in fact ye filled the south side of the ground(where new stand is now)and more, which was great to see as city werent gettin the support at the time, which u hav to admit as i was up 2 their games in the bog and there was a massive decline in their support.

Now now Pablo no need to exagerate

. I remember both home games against City that season and while both had large attendances, none had more City fans than Rams fans.

I dont think it counted season tickets and there was quite a lot of them
