It's a play off match the league season is over.

attendance in Terryland tonight is 2,890
Good crowd on a day when it rained so much in Galway. It may have cleared a wee bit nearer game time but it'd still have put people off.

Thanks for taking the time and considerable effort Nigel for updating all of this during the season.
Its disappointing to note that 9 of the 12 PD clubs showed decreases, and some were quite worrying too with the defending champions sticking out with 300 less, and they had a good season. Sligo had a similar drop but with their final position and so many changes they did very well to finish with just under 2k. There wasnt much change to the PD average and its possible this may increase next year if Galway and Longford do ok, but both will find it quite challenging.
I would also consider our attendances to be a little disappointing considering the best football on offer in a generation and trophies won. However to be fair it did increase by 30%, and there may be a chance to attract closer to an avg of 3k next season, its a gradual thing increasing your support base, so hopefully the trend can continue.
If anyone is interested, here are our top 10 crowds of the season, in all comps. In bold are NOT league games.
24-Oct Cork 5,300
20-Sep Rovers 3,500
18-Apr Rovers 3,364
13-Jun Pats 3,135
17-Jul Haj Spl 3,014
13-Oct Rovers 3,012
29-Aug Bohs 2,627
23-May Sligo 2,614
10-Jul J. Esch 2,544
20-May Drogs 2,383

#DundalkFC - First Irish club to win an away game in Europe (1963), first Irish club to win points in a group stage in Europe (2016).
Looking at that, I have to say I'm very disappointed with the average crowd figures for Athlone, Bohs, Bray, Cork, Derry, Drogheda, Dundalk, Limerick, Pat's, Rovers, Sligo, UCD, Cobh, Harps, Galway, Longford, Rovers B, Shels, Waterford and Wexford.

Pats average 17,000 on neutral grounds in 2014. I want this to be recorded in all future listings
54,321 sold - wws will never die - ***

Cork's support doubled. Limerick's support halved. I'd see Limerick's as the most disappointing. Facilities definitely not to blame. Their city and county have not gotten behind the club. If the return to the Markets Field does not ignite interest, it's hard to see what will.
What's the highest average recorded over the last 15 year's?

Athlone - 1,793
