    Not a dig at all - it was a point of perspective that a gate at the IL table toppers was similar to Limericks gate of the opening weekend. I'm pretty sure if Oriel intended a dig a word like disgraceful or pathetic in relation to the Crus gate would have appeared....

    Massive ambiguity seems an ideal way to start the thread!
    The Irish Times report also had it down as 500

    Crusaders are a pretty soft target to take a snipe at, they'd be Belfasts 4th club and the game he's referencing was v Warrenpoint, hardly crowd pullers...

    All crowds in now, so here's the first week in the PD.

    Rovers 5,000
    Dundalk. 3,300
    Sligo. 3,000
    Galway. 2,200
    Limerick. 920
    Bray. 650

    Total of 15k and an avg of around 2,500 per game.

    Some encouraging figures, also I note Limerick's crowd was slightly under what Crusaders got for a league match last month, and they are 6 points clear at the top.
    ET have Rovers corrected to 4,484, which I assume is official: http://extratime.ie/newsdesk/articles/13743/

    I know it's only the first game but they've 900 kids on the books and have been heavily active in the local community for decades, they're far better prepared for entering the league than a lot of the clubs that have popped up out of nowhere only to fall by the wayside in recent times. Even if the attendances halve they'll be pulling in a decent crowd if it ends up just being club members/ family going to matches, best of luck to them.

    Nesta is spot on, no dig, just a comparison, as Im interested in all club attendances. However, Crusaders was a surprise that it was so low, also any since that game were relatively moderate for a club odds on to win the league, impressive too if they did manage to win it.

    Pleased to see Rovers updating to official figure.

    Fair enough. Crusaders are never going to attract massive crowds, at least not in the short term, but their average this season is 1237, which is better than half the teams in your Premier last season...

    Crusaders are the 4th most successful and popular side in Belfast - population 286,000
    Limerick are the only side in Limerick 96,000.

    Crues normally average around 800-900 unless they are playing against the other Belfast sides or Portadown or Ballymena. http://www.irishleaguesupporters.com/attteam.php
    They have a small but very loyal supporter base of around 600. I'd suggest Limerick's hardcore is only about 300-400.

    Regarding Cabinteely, I'm still baffled by the abuse they are getting, yeah I would have rather not have had another Dublin club but they are in area far away from any other side and have great set up. I could see a problem if it had been one of the more established LSL sides like Cherry Orchard or Crumlin United because they play in areas that already have LOI clubs close but I can see Cabinteely doing well if they take it slow and don't make the mistakes of Fingal.

    Nigel, you must have left out one of the PD figures or included an incorrect figure. I make the total for the PD as 15,040 and the PD avg being 2,506.

    Will double check here now with Cobh figure to add.

    EDIT: Got it sorted there.

    Disgraceful anti Longford bias, no home openers since Shelbourne in the 2011 season apparently!

    That's to give you extra time to build the luxury toilets, put the leather on the seats and setup the gourmet catering stalls in the away section!

    You're numbers are way of the mark, by almost 40,000.
    The last census of Ireland says that the population of Limerick city is 57,106
