Quote558 in the RSC last night.
Looked as though there were a lot more there. It isn't our highest attendance so far this year but definitely looked like it was. Would of thought 700 there. Good traveling crowd from Shels too must of been a 100 there.
Hard to judge Belfield, in the end though, after looking like nobody would turn up, there were maybe 350 there with around 150 of that Harps.

Seen a picture of the travelling Shelbourne support on Facebook that looked a hell of a lot more than 100.
Official attendance at UCD v Harps was 204...which is shocking altogether considering there were well over 100 Harps fans there.
Cork v Derry - 5,104
Shamrock Rovers v Galway - 3,298
Sligo v Bray - 1,723
Waterford v Shels - 558

Official attendance of 1024 at LTFC-Pats according to the Longford Leader. Maybe 250 Pats in their section I'd say plus a few dotted around the stand I think.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
720 official at Jackman Park tonight for Limerick v Dundalk.About 200 from Dundalk.There was a picket outside the ground before the match by some Lims fans.
Cumann Peile Dún Dealgan - Champions 2015 (too many accolades to be typing)
Termonbarry Athletic TID!
Most reckoned Athlone game was around 700 mark. Not sure myself. Didn't hear an official number announced.
Athlone Town AFC 1887-2017
Was def more than 200 of us! The away section was packed and their was a good few in the stand
No there wasn't.
Ye brought a bigger crowd than Pats and a smaller crowd than Bohs.
Would have put it at 120 to 150 out of a crowd of 550 to 600. (First time this season i didnt get bored enough to actually count)
No way in hell was there 700 at that athlone game.

I have noticed in recent years a drop off in the numbers of youngsters at games and wondered if it's time for clubs to consider letting children under a certain age let's say under 14's in for free. As the old saying goes "get them young and you have them for life"? Just a thought, it's not as if the grounds are full!
Harps do this already. Over 100 children in for free at both home games so far this season not included in attendance figures. Half the seating section is dedicated to schools and underage sports teams around the county each game.

Good idea out of Harps. A pity other clubs don't follow their example. I was at Jackman Park Saturday night and there was a very noticeable lack of youngsters at the game. One punter said that he had 3 kids that wanted to come to the game but he couldn't afford to bring them as he was out of work. I asked him how old they were and was told that they were 5, 8 and 9 and the club was charging a fiver per child. In a league that's in need it does seem short-sighted of clubs to charge admission for children.

We have loads and loads of kids going to games anyway.
Clearly the only approach to take is to ban anyone that swears at a game only way families will ever come to games.
One of the stewards mentioned 184 tickets for the Dundalk section.
In the past, I know there's been issues with "kids free" being abused though, with lots dropped with no accompanying adult.
I also know members of our committee did a lot of work on a kids free promotion, with minimal uptake for the effort.
